Byhalia, Mississippi Reviews
DC Theater Arts- Highly Recommended
"...Kimberly Senior directs with a lifeline to every character's truth and to every heart in the house. Jen Caprio's uncondescending costumes remind us that though these characters are lower class, they are individuals with real lives. Mikhail Fiksel's sound design most strikingly announces someone's arrival with the sound of tires on gravel. Jennifer Reiser's lighting captures both the garishness of overhead fluorescents and the homely warmth of thrift shop lamps. And Dave Anzuelo's fight choreography is spot-on character-specific."
DCTheatreScene- Somewhat Recommended
"...The script is crafty and well packaged, and surely touches on a slew of hot-button issues, but there's something predictably unpredictable about it, and at least one character's sudden about-face in the second act feels especially artificial. The light moments often rest on reliable scatological riffs about porn or childbirth or farts during sex. Those interludes let the cast verge on breaking character and allow the audience to reset after whatever bigoted or sexist spasm came before, but they feel cheap."
BroadwayWorld- Highly Recommended
"...Overall, Byhalia, Mississippi is a poignant work that speaks to audiences and examines our humanity. And that will resonate with audiences in Washington, DC, Byhalia, Mississippi, and everywhere else."
