Little Children Dream of God Reviews
Los Angeles Times- Somewhat Recommended
"...A supernaturally murky tone, enhanced by Derrick McDaniel's excellent lighting design, predominates. Given the right approach, Augustin's dramatic perambulations may have retained the power to fascinate. Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of a committed cast, director Andre Barron's over-the-top staging never pitches Augustin's daring oddity into the credible human context that could make this feverish "Dream" linger."
Edge- Recommended
"...Where director Andre Barron scores is in his casting and his direction of these remarkable actors. The relationships are clearly delineated, and what humor there is (mostly from Chandler's sarcastic and sardonic wit) more than offsets the seriousness of the writer's dialogue. While all the actors shine, Chandler and Ta'le, lead the pack with their insights and presentation."
Stage Scene LA- Highly Recommended
"...It less gifted hands than director Andre Barron's, and with less gifted designers than the team assembled to create a world in which reality becomes magical and magic becomes real, Little Children Dream Of God might come across more than a bit too ambitious for its own good."
The Tolucan Times- Highly Recommended
"...An affecting tale of faith and family, Little Children Dream of God blends superb acting and powerful staging to create a tale full of humanity. The Road Theatre Company's West Coast premiere of the play appears timely as well, revealing the diverse texture immigrants add to our culture."
Stage Raw- Somewhat Recommended
"...With its plot involving the fate of a foreign refugee seeking a new life in America, Jeff Augustin's Little Children Dream of God couldn't be timelier. It gets a solid production from the Road Theatre Company in this West Coast premiere and is full of strong performances, but something curiously flat in the main storyline keeps it from attaining its full potential."
