"Sarah Norris directs the play with the lightness necessary to make the comic beats land. Daniel Allen’s scenic design convincingly evokes the Cannon House Office Building...authentic lighting by Hayley Garcia Parnell...sound designer Jennie Gorn undergirds the transitions with pulsating gameshow music, so the tension never slackens."

- Zachary Stewart, TheaterMania

​

"It's a tremendous achievement...the tension is there...

New Light Theater Project has been around for a dozen years, and I hope they're around a long time more."

- Peter Filichia, Broadway Radio

​​

"Eerily current...We rarely get new plays so closely attuned

to the current news cycle."

- David Barbour, Lighting & Sound America

​

"This is Government brilliantly reminds us that we’re all human."

- Mason Pilevsky, Pages on Stages

​

"I have finally figured out why I love the New Light Theater Project so much. They pick the best plays no matter the genre. You know when you go to a New Light production you are going to get a quality play with a strong plot and expertly cast and directed."

- Eva Heinemann, HiDrama

​

"What ensues is not quite a thriller, not quite a farce, but rather a discomfiting hybrid: The Office meets Fail Safe, with shades of Network and a sprinkle of Parks and Rec. It is, against all odds, gripping."

- Tony Marinelli, HiDrama

​

"This is Government, while plenty funny, is also a caustic commentary on the growing divide between the leaders  and the people of what used to be our democracy, and the cynical wedge being driven between neighbors who, if politics are factored out of the equation, are more similar than we might think."

- Tim Rowland, Adirondack Arts and Entertainment

​

"This is Government does garner laughter, yes, and quite a lot of it."

- Stephen Suskin, New York Stage Review

​

"funny and fast-paced...there are fine performances."

- Mari S. Gold, T and B on the Aisle
