—Chronogram magazine
"Sometimes brief description doesn't even begin to do justice to a play. Such is the case with Darleen Dances."—Adrienne Urbanski, Pulse of the Twin Cities
"The turns of phrase—creative freedom with language—turned me on throughout; that's the reason why people still read. I laughed out loud! A ticklish read from start to finish."
—Jason Love, syndicated humor writer, author of So It Goes: Stories for People Who Laugh
