| "CRITIC'S CHOICE!" | |
| - James Hebert ( San Diego Union-Tribune ) | |
| "BEST BET! TRYING is compellingly told under the taut, sensitive direction of Kerry Meads. The set, props and costumes are pitch-perfect, and Doug Waldo is superb as the cantankerous octogenarian, who gradually warms to his new charge, thanks to a fiercely focused performance by Kelsey Venter." | |
| - Pat Launer ( KNSD.com ) | |
| "The play is a contest of wills...Venter matches Waldo with a rising assertiveness...their byplay — deftly orchestrated by director Kerry Meads — is first rate! " | |
| - Jeff Smith ( San Diego Reader ) | |
| "Doug Waldo and Kelsey Venter are excellent! Kerry Meads has directed the play with sensitivity and unobtrusive polish." | |
