Many Worlds is a Smash Hit!

"It's the performances that carry the day...Men Eat Mars Bars...is a well-performed piece with some surprising highlights."

-Doug Strassler, offoffonline.com
“…directed tightly by Jared Culverhouse and features nicely detailed performances by Don Jeanes as Seth, Julian James as Stevie, and especially Natalie Barback as Katie”
-Martin Denton, nytheatre.com
