Cops And Friends Of Cops Reviews
Los Angeles Times- Recommended
"...Klier's script builds to a riveting first-act climax with masterful pacing and economy. The second half would benefit from further development, particularly in the placement of some character revelations and digressive conversations that defy credibility given the high-stakes situation that's been so skillfully established. Still, the fine performances keep this new piece as gripping and disturbing as Klier intended."
LA Weekly- Recommended
"...Klier's rough-hewn characters are completely convincing, and the script, in addition to forcefully probing issues of morality, bigotry, loss and redemption, takes hold and allows little in the way of relief, as does Klier's highly charged, violent staging."
Edge- Recommended
"...Klier elicits layered and highly convincing portrayals form the actors, who do masterful jobs of revealing the intricacies of their characters one layer at a time."
Stage Scene LA- Recommended

Not only is it a pleasure to welcome Clark and company back, to do so with as exciting a production as Cops And Friends Of Cops is exhilarating news indeed."
