REVIEWS

"The Moon Away is more than a play about homosexuality. It is an exploration into the elements (loves, fears, etc) that make a person complete. That search for one's self is a shared experience by all people, regardless of sexuality. That is what makes us human. It is amazing and beautiful. It feels real. It is a show that challenges, engages, moves, and uplifts the viewer. I have never seen an audience hold their breath like they have for this piece. The audience hangs on every word and image. This comes from great writing . . . passion permeates throughout The Moon Away" ~ Braden Weeks, Boston Producing Director
