“In their season opener, The Night Alive, Mr. Kramer has given the public a fine example of ensemble acting of the best kind.”
-Rex Hearn, The Berkshire Record

“Direction by Chester’s artistic director Daniel Elihu Kramer is economical; there are no wasted movements or moments.  His actors bring their characters to life with sensitivity and insight… this production is perceptive in interpreting McPherson’s script and is intelligently directed and acted.”
-Macey Levin, Berkshire on Stage

“None of McPherson's characters is who they seem. There is change. People will surprise you, McPherson seems to be saying. Director Daniel Elihu Kramer and his cast respond with patience and insight."
-Jeffrey Borak, The Berkshire Eagle

“Chester’s The Night Alive showed the impressive talents of director and cast in realizing an important and far-from-easy play so fully—brilliantly, in fact.”
-Michael Miller, Hudson-Housatonic Arts
