Reviews
"Nathan Cusson is ferocious as a combative hothead patient. Mr. Cusson also displays this complex character’s tenderness with his affective performance as he steps up to help the group." - Darryl Reilly
"Nathan Cusson is solid in his characterization of Alex" - Scotty Bennett
"The ensemble that plays the patients is outstanding. They fully embody their characters and give several emotionally compelling performances."- Scotty Bennett
"One of the most powerful scenes takes place between Alex and Richard. When Richard begins to reveal himself to the group, Alex becomes agitated with how Richard interacts with other group members. Alex makes some intemperate remarks that Richard verbally challenges, and Alex explodes. The exchanges leading up to Alex’s extreme reaction and the following discussion reveal the deep emotional wounds that each of these men carries."- Scotty Bennett
"Alex (Nathan Cusson) is angry but sweet; he’s an outpatient. He blames himself for his mother’s death, and he expresses his deep, emotional pain." - Kendra Jones
"The five members’ outbursts and actions are extreme, sudden, and unhinged at times. Their performance is superb, real." - Kendra Jones
"I am so pleasantly surprised; this show is a must-see." - Kendra Jones
