Press Quotes
“THE AUNTIE NETWORK vividly illustrates the complexity and hidden impact of good deeds … Elenna Stauffer’s script is familiar, tight, and comes across as very authentic and believable. From the beginning, the dialogue between Bex and Tish immediately conveys a strong friendship and signals to the audience that the story unfolding will be an interesting one. The more dramatic scenes later in the play between the roommates and their young guest, Anne, are well written and, though fast paced, quite impactful.” —Joseph Harrison, Broadway World
