"...The one-hour one-act, which premiered over the weekend at the Children’s Theatre and which is recommended for older children, is set in a rough patch of Cleveland that has functioned like, as one of the characters says, a hotel. People stay for as long as necessary before moving on. The neighborhood has turned over from immigrant whites to migrating blacks to a new batch of immigrants from Asia and Latin America, even as people remain from the earlier waves. In other words, it’s a mosaic of America, full of accents and different backgrounds."

"...Yes, it's a story about using your ears, but the most impressive ear belongs to Parks, who displays a magnificent gift for capturing the voices of people from distinctly different cultures and life experiences, and compelling you to listen."

How Was The Show - Highly Recommended

"...All these characters are played by the luminous and uber-talented Sonja Parks. Parks does yeoperson work in Seedfolks, switching from character to character with grasshopper-like speed and astonishing ingenuity. She deftly sketches in each one (and she gets, no doubt, much help from able director Peter Brosius) and gives each a defining physicality. Parks, lean and lithe, athletically takes and holds the stage. For an hour and fifteen minutes, everyone in the CTC’s Cargill theater was in her sway. I was."
