"...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
