Touch review “Emotional trek on track”
“In the theatre world it’s often said that a lighting director succeeds if no one notices his or her work. But in a play that talks so much about the starry heavens, lighting can’t take a back seat. Again Kade Mendelowitz meets the challenge with an effective display.” Robert Hannon, Fairbanks Daily News-Miner
