OTHER PRAISE FOR MELISSA
In Los Angeles Magazine:
…a skillfully acted effort with Melissa Kite, as the wife of one of the accused men (the excellent Kris Kamm), giving a fascinating portrayal of a Betty Crocker type 1950s housewife, whose Stepford-wife exterior gradually crumbles when her wall of denial comes crashing down.
Los Angeles Times:
Boise, USA shines a light on a very shady, yet lesser known, aspect of recent history…The cast is proficient with Seamus Dever's haunted voice of sanity and Melissa Kite's betrayed spouse especially fine.
LA Weekly:
GO!...moving turns are offered by McDaniel as the oily and bigoted mayor, Kamm as the destroyed banker, and Melissa Kite as the banker’s equally shattered wife.
Stage Scene LA:
Perhaps no one in the cast captures the look and feel of the era better than Kite, who could easily have stepped out of Father Knows Best. In her final scene, a prison visit with an excellent Kris Kamm as husband Joe, the stage truly takes fire.
The Tolucan Times:
. . . performed by a remarkably strong cast, the audience is transfixed througout. Kris Kamm and Melissa Kite passionately share some of the play's more heartbreaking moments. A worthy theatrical effort all round -- try to catch this one!
