4/5 Stars "Unfolds in lovingly rendered, beautifully acted, mostly two-person scenes that demand you lean in as these ordinary folks try awkwardly to connect during the holidays...These people may not be destined for glory, but they're worthy of our attention and our tears."

"Director Sarah Norris-along with a gifted quartet of actors-has gently and thoughtfully taken Brown's story up a notch, finding colors that may not have been evident on the page but that augment the script nicely. The resulting production is a lovely thing to behold."

Score: 87% "In a humorous take on (mis) communication, dysfunction and loss, 'Everything is Super Great' is a unique offering for the Christmas season. It manages to be charming without being insipid, a refreshing departure from the usual Holiday fare."

"Given the extent of this collective loss and brokenness, sarcasm becomes palpable in the tile of Stephen Brown's play. Clearly, everything isn't super great for these four inter-related characters whose lives are like many others living cross the United States and the world."

"The title…doesn't translate into a super great play, but it's still a pretty good one, funny and poignant, very well acted, with laughs and tears enough…While all the characters…suffer…loss, they also learn, as the song goes, that people needing people are the luckiest people in the world."
