What the critics had to say...

". . . metaphysically profound . . . The Last Schwartz is rollicking, sad, shocking, goofy, and thoughtful. It is comic drama firing on all cylinders, a superb work of theater by a playwright in full command of her considerable gift for character and dialogue. It's the hit of the festival and an absolute must-see, a funny, wonderful, rewarding evening of theater."

"The Last Schwartz is that increasingly rare phenomenon in American theater: It has a discernable plot. And that plot revolves around real characters who learn and grow and break things and fix them and that compel the audience to care about them."

~The Washington Times, T.L. Ponick

"The Last Schwartz is far and away the most intriguing play to emerge from the Contemporary American Theatre Festival."

"it's especially invigorating when a distinctive voice has the opportunity to rise freshly from the pack. Laufer gets just such a moment with The Last Schwartz."

A "brave examination of the havoc that a transient culture can wreak on the soul."

A "fine balance has been struck between hilarity and pathos."

~The Washington Post, Peter Marks
