"Kaitlyn Bird ... [gives] a very charismatic performance ... [New Leaf] always chooses intelligent plays and they go out of their way to choose ... unusual scripts that we haven't seen before."
- Jonathan Abarbanel & Kelly Kleiman, 848's Dueling Critics, WBEZ-FM Chicago Public Radio

"[Y]ou'll ... admire the quicksilver performance late-twentysomething Kaitlin Byrd is giving as a legitimately precocious ten-year-old ... a performance that has to be difficult to execute but couldn't be easier to watch."
- Christopher Piatt, TimeOut Chicago

"New Leaf Theatre consistently has presented intelligent fare in small but physically dynamic stagings ... The production looks good in Michelle Lilly O'Brien's detailed household set, and the performances are assured."
- Jonathan Abarbanel, Windy City Times

"MUST SEE ... This is one Chicago company that sees god in the details."
- Centerstage Chicago,

"Kaitlin Byrd in a terrific winning performance..."
- Tom Williams, ChicagoCritic.com
