“An American Rendition is dark, biting satire of the ilk that's so brilliantly constructed that it makes you laugh out loud while feeling almost sick inside as you gradually realize the true horror of what you're laughing at....Comfort's work was extremely well-served by her seven-member troupe of performers, all of whom are excellent actors."
