Publicity and Reviews
“Under Anna Senechal Johnson's direction the production is well-produced, especially considering that everything takes place in the spare room of a church. All aspects of the set, lighting and sound have to be brought in from elsewhere. Given the show's subject matter, it might not be a favorite of the more secular, but in its purpose of celebrating the teachings of Jesus, Cadence's production does it justice.”
