"Under skilled and necessarily minimalist direction, the exchanges between Joan and Nick are where the play really captures the essence of what these characters, and tens of thousands like them throughout New York, must have been going through in the days, weeks, months after that September day."
- Duncan Roberts (Delano)
" Theatre isn’t just entertaining. Sometimes . . . it’s important.
It is difficult to distill the essence of an intimate, moving piece of theatre like ‘The Guys’ a few hours after seeing it.
Go see this play. It is important."
- ED (The Chronicle)
"Ground breaking and Emotional!"
- Sarita Rao (The Luxembourg Times)
