Star Tribune - Somewhat Recommended
"...The luckiest folks in the cast are Timberman, Tezla and Gangler. Timberman takes the time to breathe some texture into the wacky Gloria, finding the beats in her character’s psyche. Tezla also modulates the crankiness of Uncle Bill and even has a moment of touching sensitivity. Gangler is straightforward and fully committed to the easy temper of the TV reporter."

How Was The Show - Highly Recommended
"...The only truly universal experiences of life are pain and death, and the two are often closely intertwined. Whether it is the emotional pain resulting from a loved one's death or the physical pain reminding us we are all approaching death, these themes permeate much of human existence. Stephen Karam's Sons of the Prophet, a 2012 Pulitzer Prize finalist, manages to explore such themes with respect, insight, and a healthy dose of humor. And it is a joy to say that Park Square Theatre's current production (running through June 5th), delivers this show's thorny subject matter with aplomb."

"...Sons of the Prophet is having its Minnesota premiere in this excellent production mounted by Park Square Theatre on their Proscenium Stage. It is a sharply written play, with a central character being drawn downstream by currents beyond his control, grasping for a hanging branch to hold on to. Everything we see is in the realm of the possible, the fact is that no law of man or nature prohibits bad things from piling up upon some of us. Karam's play demonstrates with wit, tenderness and empathy the hardships that are the cost of being human."
