The Reviews are In!

Here are some excerpts from reviews for OLYMPICS UBER ALLES at St. Luke's Theatre.

Bruce Chadwick, History News Network

"Director Debra Whitfield gets fine performances from Tim Dowd, Joshua Quat, Darrell Purcell Jr., Jim DiMunno, Amy Handra, Leslie C. Nemet and superb performances by Michael Engberg as Marty Glickman (young man), and Stewart A. Schneck as Glickman as an older man.

A vivid tale…the story is very dramatic...the writers did stellar work in talking about the abhorrent treatment of Jews of Germany in 1936 and the years that preceded the Olympics…Whitfield made superb use of black and white stills and film footage of the 1936 Olympics and Hitler, often with chilling effect."

David Rothenberg, WBAI Radio

"interesting and provocative"

Curt Schleier, The Jewish Daily Forward

"Director Debra Whitfield does a good job moving eight actors---each playing multiple roles---around a tiny stage. She handles the process in part with color blind and gender-neutral casting."

Michele Willens, Stage Right...or Not (Podcast on NPR)

"Heroically directed by Debra Whitfield."
