Michael Fitzpatrick, Jonathan Gillard Daly and Andrew Carlson in "The Taming of the Shrew" directed by Alec WildPraise for the 2008 season:

"...As brilliantly conceived, wildly choreographed, brightly designed, deftly acted, and hilarious a play as you will see in a long, long time..."
--Frances Edstrom, The Winona Post on The Taming of the Shrew

"The brilliance of the play and of GRSF's performance is how the characters don't fall into the simple categories of good or bad."
--Kari Knutson, The Winona Daily News on The Merchant of Venice
