Bruce Apar/Broadway World Westchester:
“… the 90-minute play flew by in what seemed like half that time, a credit to director Margarett Perry and the very skillful cast.”

Linda Leavitt/The Scarsdale Inquirer and The Rye Record Review:
“Hudson Stage is a Westchester gem, proving that you don’t need to venture far from home or pay steep prices to see provocative professional theater.”

“Working from Nick Payne’s eloquent, articulate script, director Mark Shanahan crafts a poetic, wholly satisfying, emotionally exciting evening of theater. His “Constellations” is alive with humanity and spirit and buzzes with a flavorful, pungent theatricality that complements the playwright’s cosmic dance of courtship, conflict, fate, death and uncertainty most engagingly.” James V. Ruocco, TAKE 2

“ A virtually flawless production.” John McCarthy, ONSTAGE

“The cast is exceptional. Ben Paul Williams was delightful and disarming with his initial aw-shucks charm, which matured and metamorphosed into a richly complex characterization of the beekeeper. Faith Sandberg brought a depth to Marianne beyond what the playwright put on the page.” Broadway World

“Shining City is tautly directed by HSC co-founder Dan Foster. A salient feature of McPherson’s plays is how frequently they showcase the art of storytelling, the great oral tradition of one individual standing up in a pub or parlor, for example, and spinning a yarn that captivates listeners. When a piece of theatre is dominated by this kind of storytelling it follows that the talents of the performer delivering the oratory are paramount to the work’s success. And skillful acting isn’t enough. For the stories to ring true on any level, the storyteller must project authenticity and believability with relatively little help from other actors or extraneous stagecraft. Fortunately, Hudson Stage Company’s production is anchored by Derry Woodhouse in the role of John, a guilt-wracked widower haunted by the ghost of his recently departed wife. Credit costume designer Charlotte Palmer-Lane for sending him out in just the right garb, including a perfectly drab jumper. The other design work is also top-notch and faithful to McPherson’s vision.” John McCarthy ONSTAGE
