Press Quotes
“Well-crafted and poignant. JOY is entertainment done with style!” —Variety

“A sweet/sharp roundelay charting several students’ tangled liaisons. More in tune with Noel Coward or Woody Allen (especially Manhattan) than recent Gen X studies, this precocious work suggests commercial instincts already honed well beyond strictly gay audience appeal … Memorable lines zing out constantly; the fourth wall is frequently crashed. It credits Fisher’s talent that these gambits seem fresh rather than forced. JOY’s wit and charm shine brightly.” —Dennis Harvey, Variety
