A Steady Rain
Guthrie Theatre
Star Tribune- Recommended
"...This minimalist design gives actors Kelly and Viscuso the necessary space to show us their skill. The two men conjure not only their characters, but a world for us. They perform with winning empathy and clear skill."

Twin Cities Pioneer Press- Highly Recommended
"...The gruff and gritty script employs a fine balance of realistic straight talk and colorful descriptions, and Kelly and Viscuso create such fully fleshed out characters that they invite some empathy even when they're clearly going down the wrong path at just about every significant crossroads they encounter. Key to their portrayals is that both Joey and Denny are motivated by affection for one another and the people closest to them, or at least so they think. But they seldom stop to assess whether their choices are doing more harm than good."

How Was The Show- Somewhat Recommended
"...IIn the case of A Steady Rain (in the Guthrie’s Dowling Studio through Nov 2), I must declare a prejudice: I dislike past tense material. Plays that depend on long set speeches about occurrences in the past violate, imho, ye olde creative writing saw, of “Show, Don’t Tell.”"
