“If you’re interested in playwriting talent and want to see it muscling toward maturity, you’ll find no more fascinating example than Stone Cold Dead Serious, a play by Adam Rapp receiving a stirringly acted production at the Chashama Theater...brave, compassionate, breathtakingly moving...the final image of the show has been haunting me since I saw it. Matt Stadelmann is remarkable.”
-The New York Times

“Sharp and disquieting…Stone Cold Dead Serious works as a kind of venomous substance, dangerous but invigorating.”
-The Village Voice

“Stone Cold Dead Serious is a gritty, funny, surreal journey through extreme psychic landscapes…Carolyn Cantor has plugged into the play’s emotional core, and her direction is informed, detailed, and generous…special mention must go to David Korins, who has transformed the Chashama Theatre into four distinct sets of Off-Broadway quality.”
- The New York Theatre Experience

“Extremely well directed by Carolyn Cantor, and the actors are first rate…extremely well designed. There’s a lot of talent behind Stone Cold Dead Serious.”
