"...Daddio and Smith certainly hit their emotional marks squarely on, but the undercurrents of their relationship are not explored well-enough in the script for the couple to show us more. And young Fitoria has the unenviable task of playing both a pre-teen and a young adult, especially when she goes on a sexual rant. Short and sweet-looking, the underlying needs of her Angelica were muddled."

"...Director Denise Blasor and her three actors do the best with the script they've been given, but I found my interest lagging early on, and an eleventh-hour journey into The Outer Limits left me not bewitched but bothered and bewildered."

"...All this is supposed to be some kind of fantasy-fairytale, ethereal and compelling. As I said earlier, the actors do a fine job and are well-directed by Denise Blasor. But Stephanie Kerley-Schwartz's set is dreadful and depressing. It's apparent that this is a no-budget production, but surely better accoutrements could have been acquired by roaming the streets and picking up furnishings that people had thrown out!"

"...Technically, the production, directed by Denise Blasor, is a good one: Background music by Juliette Blasor, in tandem with designer Christopher Moscatiello's crackerjack sound, conjure a pronounced eeriness on Stephanie Kerley Schwartz's appropriately dingy set, whose pendent cobwebs Daniel brushes aside in the play's opening moment. James McLaughlin's lighting adds to the aura of fitful suspense. Blasor stages the performers' interactions adeptly; if only she had sounder material to work with."

"...As the mystery finally gets untangled in the intense last minutes of the play, it reveals how succumbing to anger, hatred, lust and other urges are the ultimate price for experiencing love in the human condition. Emotional and evocative, this story captures human truths in ways that are beyond the everyday world we choose to see. As a mystery with sprinkles of humor and whimsy, The Lost Child is a thrilling ride everyone should experience this summer."

"...But it's the play itself that makes this production most problematic. Plots and subplots are introduced willy-nilly, very few of them ever reaching resolution. After the Peter Pan-like return of Angelica, it takes a very short time for life, after the horror and hopelessness of the past seven years that even has made Ann have to live incognito, to suddenly go back to parenting Angelica and decide who gets to sleep where and cheerfully wondering if anyone wants pancakes for breakfast."
