Reviews
- Review by Rohan Preston, Star Tribune
“An excellent cast… Kwan and Guentzel bring a serene humanity to the puppets they so movingly manipulate… O’Neill moves around the stage with mythic power… Maloney delivers classic and contemporary lines with aplomb… Lichtscheidl finds comic gold as the lawman” - Review by Chris Hewitt, Pioneer Press
“If you have to pick one thing that ‘The Children’ is about, it’s stories. …for all of ‘The Children’s’ crazy and often funny complexities, what it’s really doing is quite simple: It is giving forgotten people a chance to tell their story.” - Review by cherryandspoon.com
- “Pillsbury House is a theater that never disappoints. The Children is an imaginative look at a story we think we know, brought to life by some of our best actors, beautifully and technically staged in a captivating, magical, funny, poignant 80 minutes.”
- Review by Ira Brooker, Minnesota Playlist
