What the Critics (and some audience members) are Saying about HEROES

“Displaying spot-on timing, three expert actors mine the humor, tension and wistful profundity in this 80-minute piece.”
- Celia Wren, Washington Post

“The MetroStage production…had [the] audience shouting with laughter when they weren’t literally poised on the edge of their seats, listening to the clever wordplay…”
- Nancy Dunham, The Examiner

“Comprising the tenderly beguiling cast are three of Washington’s most beloved actors, each of whom delivers a splendid and achingly funny performance.”
- Jeanne Theismann, Alexandria Times

“Director John Vreeke paces the show nicely, not rushing it nor dragging it out.”
- Rich See, TheatreDC

“This production of HEROES is absolutely heartwarming, funny and brilliant. I truly enjoyed it 100%.”
- Ilona D.

“Vreeke takes the cast through the play with the grace of classical musicians performing an etude. The actors work beautifully and seamlessly together, with John Dow providing the proper balance between Michael Tolaydo's high ebullience and Ralph Cosham's consummately low notes.”
- Jayne Blanchard, Washington Times

“It was wonderful! [The play] had us in stitches from the opening act until the last scene. Must see it!”
- C.S.

“A Potomac Stages Pick for a short evening of charm, warm humor and fabulous acting.”
- Brad Hathaway, Potomac Stages

“A trio of talented actors and a wonderful script make this production an absolute joy. A more pleasurable theatrical experience than HEROES is hard to imagine. [It was] thoroughly enjoyable. Don’t miss this play!”
- Tom A.

Henry's a hungry librettist with a great idea and the moxie to pull it off. But complications ensue as he betrays his loved ones securing the rights to Woody Allen's famous film.
