"Mark Brokaw's staging is swift and full of energy, but never rushed. I was fascinated, and delighted, by the unassuming, sensitive, scrupulous skill with which Lynda Barry, Mr. Brokaw, and their colleagues have found so much that matters in an ordinary childhood." - Julius Novick, The New York Observer

"The Good Times are Killing Me is so endearing, and so full of telling moments in both the script and Mark Brokaw's staging. Brilliant and often very funny." - Russel Feingold, The Village Voice

"What makes The Good Times are Killing Me so enjoyable are the performances by a large and irresistible cast. From beginning to end, Angela Goethals, a phenomenally disarming actress, has the audience spellbound." - Howard Kissel, Daily News

"In The Good Times are Killing Me, Lynda Barry has created, hands down, the most enchanting heroine of the Off Broadway season, beautifully portrayed by Angela Goethals. Perfection is rare in the theatre, and should be cherished." - John Simon, The New Yorker

"The 14-member cast achieve that rare event in the theatre: an ensemble wherein each member shines, but does not upstage any of the others." - David Sheward, Back Stage

HOME AND AWAY

Written and Performed by Kevin Kling

Directed by David Esbjornson

Scenic Design by David Esbjornson 
Lighting Design by Frances Aronson 
Sound Design by Mark Bennett 
Hair by Antonio Soddu 
Production Stage Manager Crystal Huntington 
Press Representative Richard Kornberg

Originally produced by the Seattle Repertory Theatre, Seattle, WA.

"Blazing fun. Kevin Kling tells his tales giving his words an extra twist, like twirling a mustache. He has sparkle in his eyes and springiness in his feet; no dog's tail wags more merrily than Kling's tongue in the ecstasy of communication." - John Simon, New York Magazine

Kevin Kling's idiom is so rich and his sensibility so generous and yet askew, his evening of personal tales proves beguiling and moving."- The Village Voice

"Gripping autobiographical monologue. A funny, finely honed solo theater piece." - Stephen Holden, The New York Times

"The show's a hit and critics like it too. Manhattan's mad for a Minnesotan monologist. Kling strikes a familiar chord in his listeners; they feel as if they are watching themselves." - Chris Holbrook, TheaterWeek
