Surprisingly Sweet and Funny Kamloops This Week, Sept 17, 2013
"The sisters' relationship anchors the play, and actors Roseanne Supernault (Isabelle) and Dakota Hebert (Deirdre) bring an easy, familiar chemistry to their scenes together... Supernault delivers a particularly captivating -- and, at times, monumentally uncomfortable -- performance in her role as Isabelle."
Excellent Rendering of Tough Subject Kamloops Daily News, Sept 14, 2013
"Dreary and Izzy is expertly acted and staged... Hebert and Supernault are great as the sisters, and Supernault's portrayal of the afflicted Izzy is worth the price of admission alone."
