“Zakiyyah Alexander’s piece tackles assimilation, racism and sexism. This would be a lot even for two acts, and at just under 30 minutes the play feels like the précis for a full length work rather than a self-contained effort…None of the four other plays in the series match ‘The Good Muslim’ in ambition, though Donald Marcus’s compact two-hander ‘Intensive Care’ succeeds by making the most out of economy.”

"Connect too many dots and it just seems as though you’re halfway to an underwhelming full-length treatment. Unfortunately, that is the case with Alexander’s wooden 'The Good Muslim'...'Female Beginner' has a political point to make, but it’s mired in melodrama; 'Santa Doesn’t Come to the Holiday Inn' verges on mawkish...'Intensive Care' serves as a model of emotionally loaded concision...'Good Results Are Difficult When Indifference Predominates' provides a rousing, hilarious end."

“‘Santa Doesn’t Come to the Holiday Inn’ is a slice of life moment with absolutely no point of view, and no action…There was no energy on stage…‘Intensive Care’ is a perfect little gem of a one-act play. Beautifully written, sensitively directed, with delicious acting by Grenier and Conger. ‘The Good Muslim’ is ambitious and overly complicated…The final one-act of the evening is as forced and unwieldy as its title, ‘Good Results Are Difficult When Indifference Predominates.”

“‘Series C’ did not disappoint. It’s a masterful playwright who can whisk you away, create an arc, and circle back to a satisfying conclusion all in one act, and each of the playwrights in this series manage to do just that…Scenes complete with detailed props change effortlessly and transform with professional precision. It is obvious that the richness of each production is aided by extremely skilled and talented lighting, scenic, props, technical, costume, and sound people.”
