Critics rave about Quince's productions

Here's what critics had to say about some of our shows:


​​"In Quince's superb staging (of Vanities), any men--or women--who would pass over this play  would lose the opportunity to witness character-drive theater...Sarah J. Gafgen's earnest, touching performance leads a tremendous cast...Rich Rubin's sharp direction lets the laughs flow naturally. He approaches the characters' evolution like the slow turn of a photo album, lingering on potent images, accruing power over time." (Philadelphia Inquirer)

​

​"Racism, homophobia, and general ignorance are talked about in their true incendiary nature. The Submission unashamedly takes such matters dead in its sights and blows them wide open...It serves as a starting point on the long road to healing the dangerous assumptions we are capable of carrying inside of us." (Phindie)

"Hagan is a master of the facial expression. Newbauer is the exact right combination of bubbly, brazenjoy and fear. Let them take you through Educating Rita and see if you do not walk away feeling like you can do anything!" (STAGE Magazine)

"Rodeo is openly corny, with a big heart and positive themes. Jenna Pinchbeck shines, a strong supporting cast adds to the silliness, and a good time is had by all." (Broad Street Review)

"Expertly navigates between comedy and tragedy...scathingly witty. Under the helm of director Rich Rubin, Harbor is unltimately a touching, discomfiting night at the theater." (Phindie)

"The four cast members successfully navigate roles which require each of them to emotionally turn on a dime...director Rich Rubin keeps the story moving like a runaway freight train, which in turn keeps the audience engaged, wondering what new direction the plot will take. My Favorite Husbands is a journey well worth taking." (DC Theatre Arts)

"Mister, Mister is a reminder that sometimes people are not at all, as another wartime teenager believed, generally good at heart, and that occasionally, given the proper incubation, a nation's internal rot will rip through its population like Ebola. Mister, Mister isn't by any means an inoculation against this threat; consider it a public service announcement--sent by the virus itself. (Philadelphia Inquirer)
