"Director David Wolber stages the play with care and sensitivity, ensuring that its moments of greatest resonance always get their due. And Young is quite good as The Playwright who's making his professional entrance just as Huguenet exits from both the stage and the world." - Jenn McKee, Ann Arbor News
"...while the play tells the true story of playwright Athol Fugard's early days as a novice actor and struggling writer and the relationship he forms with fading star Andre Huguenet, a modern-day parallel can be drawn between the two similar actors who play those roles in the Network's much anticipated production. And THAT'S what makes director David Wolber's vision of Exits and Entrances so fascinating. It's a subtle, reflective role, which Young captures quite well. Grossman, however, has been handed not one meaty role, but several - and watching Grossman tackle each is what his fans have been eagerly anticipating. They certainly won't be disappointed, as Grossman offers a master's class in acting technique with his standout performance." - Don Calamia, Encoremichigan.com
