"...A love of literature, a sense of community and collegiality, a few glasses of wine and a cheese board: these are the essentials of a good book club, but they don’t necessarily make for good drama. But in DC playwright Karen Zacarías’ The Book Club Play directed with warmth and good humor by Laura Kepley, now onstage at Everyman Theatre in Baltimore, the addition of a documentary camera and a new member creates chaos and comedy. It’s a fun, bookish farce for bookworms who want to share a knowing chuckle at a throwaway reference to Ulysses and the perfect play for “the city that reads.”"

"...Director Laura Kepley has aptly brought all elements of the Helen Hayes Award-winning play together to provide a wonderful evening of comedy which comments on many facets of today's society. I especially enjoyed how she maneuvered the actors around to look at and away from the documentarian's camera (unseen by the audience). Everyman Resident Company members Megan Anderson (Jennifer McClintock), Tony Nam (William Lee Nothnagel), Tuyết Thị Phạm (Ana Smith), and Zack Powell (Alex) did their usual excellent work of portraying lively and interesting characters with complicated emotions-a continuing reminder of the value of working closely together over the years in many varied productions."
