“Cast in the role of Conrad is Matt Ronzani, whose portrayal of an adolescent in desperate need of healing is stunning in its intensity. His awkwardness, his anxiety, his grief imbue every aspect of his performance. We can feel the pain inside him.”

-CHICAGO TRIBUNE

“A powerful performance by Matt Ronzani”

-AROUND THE TOWN CHICAGO

“…the emotional journey is one well worth taking largely because of the powerfully affecting performance of Matt Ronzani as Conrad Jarrett … whether deflecting dialogue with a quip or evoking the agony of a nightmare, Matt Ronzani is masterful in exhibiting Conrad’s full range of emotions. His wrenching breakthrough meeting with Dr. Berger captures the intense anguish of his desperate struggle, and that anguish permeates the theatre.”

-THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

“Matt Ronzani, as the young man Alan Strang, was completely honest and believable in his stellar performance.”

-HEARTPRINTS

“Playing Alan, the talented Ronzani scores as a sullen, withdrawn teenager with a laughing lack of respect for authority.”

-DC THEATER ARTS

“The energy of the play is almost entirely invested in and delivered by Matt Ronzani … and he’s pretty amazing … I imagine it’s difficult to speak in tongues consisting of radio ad jingles, but he seems scarily comfortable doing it.”
