"Jump-Start Theater was filled to the rafters for the performance - folding chairs were brought in to accommodate late-comers. Sunday’s performance drew a healthy crowd as well, according to figures from the brand-new Classic Theatre, which staged it in collaboration with Jump-Start. The crowds were rewarded with a satisfying piece tracing the relationship from its early, playful phase all the way to the explosive, emotionally draining break-up. Director Diane Malone has described the play as a love story, and that’s exactly what she and her gifted cast delivered."

"Director Malone and the rest of the ‘Rancho’ company fly to Massachusetts on Monday. They’ll have two rehearsals in the performance space - a historic spot where Eugene O’Neill’s work was first staged - before giving two performances at the Provincetown Tennessee Williams Festival."
