"Playright Marisa Wegrzyn exhibits a compelling and idiosyncratic voice in this macabre and often hilarious play. From its first grimly funny opening moments, there are glimmers of Beth Henley'sCrimes of the Heart, Ethan and Joel Coen's Fargo, and Mike Leigh'sSecrets and Lies." - David Finkle, Theatremania.com
"The Butcher of Baraboo succeeds in wrapping the audience into small-town Wisconsin with its portrayals of the characters' lives that sidestep over moralistic preaching. It's a slice of off-kilter life that hits home with violent force. Rupp is an intense joy from start to finish. Atkinson is an engaging enigma." - Matthew Murray, Talkin' Broadway
"Deliciously intriguing! The actors onstage are real people, and this could easily be real life." - Summer Banks, Curtain Up
