“This production of The Family Room is one of the most successful dramas I’ve seen in a long time. The acting is strong across the board, and the action moves quickly. It raises provocative questions and is engrossing throughout, with moments of tenderness amidst biting humor and conflict. It is impossible to stay emotionally uninvested in this show.” by Emily Hockaday – ShowBusinessWeekly
“Full of strongly developed, fascinatingly flawed characters, Ethos Performing Arts’ production provides a tense, darkly comic portrait of the people we rely on to help sort out our problems, and shows that they’re at as much of a loss handling their own lives as we are.” by Michael Μraz – nytheatre.com
“Production values are high in The Family Room…there’s something that keeps the work feeling hip and quick, rather than didactic and insular (as modern stage drama can sometimes be). This script is perfect for the stage, but with a few tweaks it could easily be adapted as a TV show or movie. The dialogue is contemporary and witty and the characters are relatable so it’s easy to visualize a broad audience for the story.” by Molly Marinik – theasy.com
“A fine ensemble cast and clever staging make this walk toward self-awareness an enjoyable one.” by Karen D’Onofrio – eljnyc.com
“The Family Room”, a funny and cutting new show that questions the efficacy of analysis, the boundaries of privacy, and the lack of distinction between child and adult behavior” by John Peacock – Flavorpill
“The Family Room” is a worthy and perceptive analysis of analysis…Coleite writes clever, realistic-sounding dialogue, and his dissection of seven characters in manifold degrees of pain is never uninteresting.” by Marc Miller – Backstage
“There is a commendable elegance in the combination of Coleite’s writing and Gwenyth Reitz’s direction as each member of the family circulates through Jian Jung’s cleverly conceived set design to meet and talk with their individual therapist…All seven actors well cast for their roles and giving engaging performances” by Barbara & Scott Siegel – Theatremania.com
