Critics Review
As Abe Koogler’s sweet, sad village mosaic revealed itself heart fissure by heart fissure, silence spoke volumes. * Observer *
In Deep Blue Sound, playwright Abe Koogler has devised something of a modern-day, West Coast variation on Thornton Wilder’s 1938 Our Town. * New York Stage Review *
