What Critics Are ALREADY Saying About MISTAKES WERE MADE

Chicago Tribune Lists "Mistakes Were Made" as one of "Our Most Anticipated Shows of the Season" saying, "Michael Shannon is an unusual kind of naturally gifted actor, inextricably linked to the theater city that raised him." "There are few productions in the whole city next season that should be as greatly anticipated as this one. By the way, ensemble member Mierka Girten is also in the play, lest we forget, and she's a pretty damn good actor too." -Rob Kozlowski
