“★★★★ - Certain elements keep the play rooted in the early aughts, but Sanctuary City is undoubtedly a story about the present moment, one marked by large-scale immigration raids. There are few audience members who don’t know what G and B mean when they discuss fears of being locked up and deported somewhere unfamiliar. Director Jake Penner knows this, so there are few embellishments – just an unflinching portrait of reality for many who call America home.” Evan Musal, Milwaukee Magazine
“★★★★ - Thankfully, snippets of dialogue often are repeated, so the audience’s sense of disorientation soon disappears. Director Jake Penner delivers these rapid-fire scene swaps with deft nuance, keeping the plot’s through-line always within reach.” Anne Siegel, Shepherd Express
