"...Director Nick Corley lets the music speak for itself in Theater J's production of Woody Sez, a story about famed American folk musician Woody Guthrie. There is simple but effective set design (Dust Bowl landscapes and pictures of Woody Guthrie) by Scenic Designer Luke Hegel-Cantarella, lighting by Garth Dolan, and costumes by Jeffrey Meek. There are no microphones or amps, just acoustic instruments - and lots of them. With no less than 15 string instruments on stage helping to create the set, the atmosphere is both simple and yet deeply impressive."

"...Woody Sez is well worth the trip, and takes you on one of your own. Some nights the company has a post-show party, affectionately called a "hootenanny" in the hall below, and encourage audience members to bring instruments and participate."

It’s nice to occasionally cover a show so good that it makes my job easy. Theater J’s return engagement of Woody Sez is just such a show, brimming with toe-tapping music, rich emotion, and powerful messages that illuminate the life and works of American folk music giant Woody Guthrie.
