"Dynamite... The strength of Seven Guitars is in the superb pitch-perfect acting of the ensemble with each having their turn in the spotlight... Marin Theatre Company has again come up with a winner in the total production."

"Beautifully executed... all that time we spend with the gang pays off; when the end comes, it packs a wallop. Gash and the superb cast handle the play deftly... it plays out magnificently."

"The show is vibrant, colorful... [with] uniformly powerful cast, staging and design."

"Dynamic and compelling... The lyrical cadences of Wilson's blues-driven words soar and thrill as delivered by, yes, seven pitch-perfect actors."

"Insightful... It's a brilliant ensemble, but Wilson's 'Guitars' demands nothing less. He wrote the blues like a 20th century Shakespeare, and Marin's cast makes every word sing."

"Late playwright August Wilson's reputed knack for capturing time, place, and character crystallizes unforgettably in the Marin Theatre Company's production of Seven Guitars... Visually stunning and psychically rich, this quirkily enchanting production succeeds in bringing Wilson's vision of the black American experience to life."

"Beautiful production… you leave the theater fully convinced that words and music can combine in powerfully emotional ways both in and out of songs, in the cadence of poetry and in the rhythm of everyday language... [Director Kent] Gash's ensemble is fantastic: Margo Hall, L. Peter Callender, Marc Damon Johnson, Omoze Idehenre, Charles Branklyn, Tobie Windham and Shinelle Azoroh. Each actor has at least one moment of transcendence, and that fact alone makes this show worth seeing."
