"...Director Gary Goodson did a nice job of keeping a fast pace on his set and merging comedy and drama. One example is an impotent George getting excited rubbing eight-months-pregnant Doris’ feet as she breaks her water. Dialogue is not forced throughout the performance; delivery is as genuine as it comes."

"...One beautiful weekend a year. No cares, no ties, no responsibilities. Sounds grand, doesn't it? Just swell? It's exactly the picture Bernard Slade was trying to paint when he penned Same Time, Next Year. Probably. Appearing now at Compass Rose Theatre (for the next several weekends, at any rate) this somewhat dated stage comedy still has its humors and in its own right is a quaint little evening's worth of oddly colored 'old school' humor. Directed by Gary Goodson, this two-person, two-hour experience has its moments and will let you reflect upon how our lives were structured back before 'open marriages' and 'polyamory' were more widely accepted as a cultural norm in the romantic world."
