Souls on Fire

Los Angeles Times, Thursday May 9, 1996
Review by Philip Brandes (Special to the Times)

"Impeccably shaded performances from the entire ensemble infused these characters with quirky diversity."

"...Duncan wraps potent messages in naturalistic dialogue-the first act is a model of near-poetic economy."

"...an unqualified emotional powerhouse thanks to the inexorable tension built by Bennet Guillory's masterful staging."

Review by Amy Schaumb

"Perhaps the clearest and most compelling performance of the evening is given by John Clair as the young Chick..."

Back Stage West, May 9-15,1996
Review by J. Brenna Guthrie

"Patrick Sheane Duncan's drama about the fateful L.A. night of April 29, 1992 combines brilliant writing, superb direction, and an extremely gifted cast for a thought-provoking look at that crisis..."

"...Sam Scraber...Jerry Lee Poindexter...M. Darnell Suttles...Charo Toledo..."

"Scraber, Poindexter, and Suttles command the stage with the ease of world-weary veterans..."

"Toledo is wonderful as the sole female..."

"Production values are outstanding: Thomas A. Brown's set is such a perfect replica of a neighborhood bar that you want to walk up for a cold one."

"The exceptional cast with solid strong performances and fine technical support..."

"It is a stunning achievement, definitely a must-see.  And our critics pick this week."
