“Absorbing, engrossing…Nothing is more satisfying than an absorbing story, skillfully told. And nothing is more exciting than actors who can bring the story to life in full dimensional power. Riveside Theatre’s production of “Collected Stories” by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Donald Margulies possess both elements to a high degree. The result is an engrossing evening at the theater…much credit must go to director Kristin Horton for her concept and development of this powerful and complex play.” – Cedar Rapids Gazette

“Riverside Theatre’s incarnation of Pulitzer-Prize-winner Donald Margulies’ play breathes through its actors and simple but intimate set. It’s hard to imagine seeing it anywhere unlike the small venue at 213 N. Gilbert. St….The story is strong and human. The characters don’t stream in and out of tragedy; the drama comes from the interactions.” – Daily Iowan
