The New York Times
February 9th, 2023

“At just 1 hour and 45 minutes, with no intermission, a play should not feel padded, but it does. Still, it is hardly without its pleasures: It’s funnier than expected, and Sher’s poetic naturalism as he creates stage pictures is always moving to watch. “

Time Out New York

“White’s ‘Pictures From Home’ sometimes feels like an illustrated lecture about itself, and of images that are meant to say enough on their own.”

New York Theatre Guide

“As in any play about a family, White covers expected territory about generational divides, legacies, mortality, and finally, love.”

The Wall Street Journal
February 9th, 2023

“...’Pictures From Home’ remains two-dimensional.

“While the intimate and honest views of a family’s inner workings can’t help but touch our hearts at steadily paced moments, ‘Pictures From Home’ is too blunt in its characterizations...we can’t help but feeling sympathy for all concerned, characters and actors, but, sad to say, it’s the arguments we’ll remember.”

New York Daily News
February 10th, 2023

“As Broadway obsesses over youth and revolt, here’s a sweet and wise Broadway play about just wanting your mom and dad to keep on going, to wish they could live for ever and to realize that any artist can complain and roar but some wise ones choose instead to render their loved ones immortal.”
