"The Approach is one of the most impressively designed shows at this year’s Capital Fringe Festival... three powerful performances from Bannon, Klein, and Pitt, and an auspicious inaugural event for The Watershed." — Washington City Paper | Read the full review (PDF)
"...nothing is quite what it seems in this stunningly well-executed production... But the pièce de résistance is the performances: Tessa Klein as Cora, Nancy Bannon as Anna, Madeleine Burke Pitt as Denise... these three profoundly gifted actors have found every nuance." — DC Theatre Arts | Read the full review (PDF)
"Tessa Klein, Nancy Bannon, and Madeleine Burke Pitt—all convey that ghostliness exquisitely. Their acting is so mesmerizing that it draws you in and refuses to lose your attention for the entirety of the play....Director Michael Chamberlin’s staging... is simple but works well for a show and space like this. Gorgeous original music by Reid May, stark but evocative lighting by Venus Gulbranson, and an atmospheric set design by April Joy Bastian work in much the same way. — MD Theatre Guide | Read the full review (PDF)
