"...HOW TO LOVE A REPUBLICAN offers an entertaining evening, and its timely gaffes will keep the audience laughing from beginning to end. This is not a play for those who want depth and finely drawn characterizations, but it will please and entertain audiences with its timeliness, light touch, and highly amusing lines and situations. It just happens to be the ideal play for the season."

"...What perfect timing for a play of this ilk! How to Love A Republican is another winner by comedy playwright Jerry Mayer. This one will keep you in stitches, as Jerry has a knack for clever lines, and the entire production, superbly directed by Chris DeCarlo, features a perfect cast. This all adds up to a very funny play that you won't want to miss."

"...It's safe to call Jerry Mayer Santa Monica Playhouse's resident playwright, since he's given us great stuff there: Aspirin & Elephants, Almost Perfect, Two Across and more. Guess what- he has not lost his rib-tickling touch! This work is totally timely but will still be pertinent long after the 2016 Election is over. It takes place mostly in the McCoy residence in Beverly Hills. I have to say, the furnishings look a little shabby, even if it were in Beverly Hills Adjacent. But, the set is serviceable (by James Cooper), shifting to various locations, courtesy of Cooper's lighting skills and the ever changing projections by Fritz Davis, which are priceless. Who knew politics could be so funny?"

Stage Raw - Somewhat Recommended

"...You almost have to feel sorry for the ensemble in playwright Jerry Mayer's so-called political romantic comedy, about a bizarre love triangle between a lovely girl and her two boyfriends, one a Republican and one a Democrat. Mayer is an amicable upbeat playwright, known for decades of work penning genial gag-filled TV sitcoms, as well as a bustling retirement career penning works for the stage that run like genial gag-filled TV sitcoms. But just after the election this sort of gentle even-handed political debate seems totally against the cultural mood."
