The crowd enjoying Happy Birthday, Wanda June

Rita Kohn, Nuvo

"A well-staged reading of an absurdist polemic tract on war, fidelity, manliness, femininity, Happy Birthday, Wanda June proves nine fine actors can make anything entertaining in a lovely setting on a perfect summer evening with a sold-out crowd."

Stephanie Salter, Terre Haute Tribune-Star

"A talented ensemble of actors...proved that Vonnegut's words are a lot like the primordial soup itself, teeming with life."

Charles Goad as Konigswald

Hope Baugh, Indy Theatre Habit

“Over my desk I have a piece of advice that Kurt Vonnegut gave in an interview in USA Today, October 10, 2005. He said, "Please notice when you are happy." I was happy tonight."


Robert Neal as Harold Ryan
