“A Story About a Girl is strongly directed…To see a new play, so satisfyingly presented, is a rare treat. Purdue is to be thanked as well as congratulated.”

~ KCACTF state representative, Professor Elliot Wasserman, University of Southern Indiana

“This is one of the most effective and powerful theater experiences I have seen in twenty years. The work was ‘ensemble’ in all of the positive aspects of the word, including designers, technicians, even extending to house management in creating THIS world of THIS play. It appears that the director’s clear vision invited creative contribution all around. Thank you for this important work.”

~ KCACTF Respondent, Dr. Tim Good, DePauw University

“The strength of Rand’s final moment, which is also the show’s final moment… leaves an impact that the audience cannot forget.”

~ Kathy Matter, Lafayette Journal & Courier

“This was a splendid production. The director did a masterful job of developing his ensemble and choreographing its movement. I have sincere admiration for the artistic leadership of Richard Stockton Rand…and I congratulate the entire Purdue Theatre on this grand effort.” ~ KCACTF Respondent, Prof John Steven Paul, Valparaiso University

“One of the finest productions I have seen at Purdue Theatre over the last forty-five years.”

~ Dick Jaeger, The Lafayette Leader

“Rand has assembled an outstanding cast and imbued them with the spirit…the play is a grabber from start to finish.”

~ Dick Jaeger, The Lafayette Leader

“Richard Stockton Rand set the laugh track to go off at 8:07 and it kept running until about 10:15. And there was precious little time when the audience wasn’t doubled over with the laughter, the result of an excellent cast and some cagey, exuberant direction…It was a treat from startling starting point to the funny finish.”

~ Dick Jaeger, The Lafayette Leader

“Richard Stockton Rand directed this thought-provoking production with insight and sensitivity.”
