“Besides the clever script and four appealing main characters by Zacarias, a true star of the show is Sean Fanning’s set, depicting two stately but aged residential homes and their busy back yards, with lawn furniture, a birdbath, old-fashioned barbecue set and that crappy chain-link fence.” -Randy McMullen, Mercury News
“While everyone does a fine job in their respective roles, the real star is the set. Sean Fanning has outdone himself in creating the elaborate old brick Georgetown homes with a lush, colorful garden for one yard and a towering, stately oak tree for the other.” -Sally Hogarty, East Bay Times
