“Directed with a tender hand and much love and care by the talented Jessica Thebus, this production will go down in the history of Northlight Theatre as one of its finest and most memorable… Every audience member... knows the joy, pain and life lessons found in this play. They certainly aren’t new but they bear repeating.”
