"Split is the kind of show that makes you excited to be a theater-goer. John Heard is absolutely outstanding."
- Joanna Langfield, WCMA
"Carole Rothman assembles an unusually strong cast for this production and handles them with an easy-going subtlety that precisely suits the author's intention." - Howard Waxman, Show Business
"Michael Weller has done his playwright colleagues a favor by proving in Split that people talk as well as they ever did. All that's needed for more good contemporary plays are playwrights who can organize the exchanges that are right in front of us." - Christopher Sharp, Women's Wear Daily

BITS AND PIECES
By Corinne Jacker / Directed by Caymichael Patten
with Vic Polizos, Verna Bloom, Robert Fields, Robyn Goodman, Lynn Milgrim
Costumes by Denise Romano / Sets by Michael Smith / Lighting by Victor En Yu Tan / Sound by Gary Harris / Production Stage Manager Jonathan Silver
"Bits and Pieces jumps right into the audience's lap and stays there until the curtain falls. Any play that's as neatly designed and as thoroughly entertaining as Bits and Pieces deserves to be welcomed with open arms."
- Robert Santelli, The Aquarian
"Corinne Jacker's characters are deftly fleshed out and wring the best from Jacker's wonderfully darkish humor." - Don Nelson, The Daily News
"Caymichael Patten has assembled a first-rate cast. Robyn Goodman, a tall and fiesty actress, manages to make Iris seem both irritating and tender; her sexual hunger for her husband is ravenous without ever being carnivorous. Robert Fields is a constant delight."
- Frank Rich, The New York Times
