“Intense and electrifying - NEVER IS NOW asks a host of thought-provoking questions. But, perhaps more importantly, it does so through glimpses of the very personal lives of people forced to experience the events in these tumultuous times.”
- Splash Magazine

“Top Ten - Recommended. Never is Now says it best: ‘We tell the truth and inspire others to keep fighting’... A cast diverse in age, race, ability, and sexuality — remarkably differentiates among their various roles.”
- Stage Raw

“Go see it. An extremely rare moment in time in which a portion of history… is presented in a very unique unveiling. The voice is different and you will be different for seeing it”
- BroadwayWorld

- Larchmont Buzz

“Wendy Kout’s daring play within a play illuminates today’s ugly realities while recounting the dark legacy of the Nazi genocide. Find the time this weekend and see this powerful production.”
- The Hollywood Times

“Does more than tug at the heart strings, actually beating on one's heart like a drum… Savor the raw, seemingly effortless flow of story... It moves us, as it should. As it must.”
- Night Tinted Glasses

“Run! Run! Run! ... A fascinating night of theatre… quietly beautiful and wonderfully effective. Wendy Kout’s work cries out for an awakening, mostly for the people who turn their heads or tune out the unpleasantness around them.”
- Joe Straw

“A research study conducted by a Purdue Convocations staff member has found that live theater can be used as a teaching tool to enhance student learning and retention of information — and even levels of empathy.”
