RAVES FOR GAAR & THE MIRROR

What people are saying about The Mirror in New York, and in our summer home in Greensboro, VT!

“This is such a powerful and remarkable play [The Diary of Anne Frank]. It is a story of a great world tragedy. It has a new relevance as antisemitism is on the rise,” explained Sabra Jones, founder and producing artistic director of company who directs the production.”

“Directed by Sabra Jones, Mirror’s Producing Artistic Director, [To Kill a Mockingbird] was dramatic with dimensional and truly touching performances. The result was a great story well told.”

“As [To Kill a Mockingbird] unfolded— from the children’s excellent performances to the outstanding seasoned adults— the audience was held captive… Producing Artistic Director Sabra Jones’ bold, uncanny twists added a deeper dimension to the familiar play.”

“The three plays, “To Kill a Mockingbird,” “Sinners,” and “Annie Get Your Gun,” just stunned me. That was great work… Performances of GAAR’s quality must be encouraged and preserved. I’m coming again.”
