“a spellbinding work of art”
“Director Fred Sternfeld has caught the essence of this very difficult stage work. He’s able to blend story and poetry and keeps the action interesting all the way through” Herb Hammer, |

Excerpts from the Cleveland Plain Dealer review

Excerpts from the Cleveland Scene review The Trestle at Pope Lick Creek “fills the basement theater with the sweet, intoxicating static electricity of a summer storm”“Sternfeld’s direction is alternately harsh and unforgiving in the way it elucidates his characters’ peccadilloes through a stance, a pout, or a grouping, yet tender in the way it shows off his young performers’ verve and honesty” “an evening that’s implacable, centered, and majestic” “Some of the audience seemed to be on the verge of weeping, not out of sadness, but in awe of a haunting rural Passion Play. How exhilarating to witness a work whose generosity of spirit and depth of sympathy for human complexity is too rich to be shoved off as a disposable diversion” Keith A.
