what Critics and Theatre Professionals around the Country
are saying about
Messiah on the Frigidaire
“I
laughed more at this play than I have at anything on a
local stage in a long time, And for that many thanks to the
skillful playwright and the talented cast that brings this
piece to life. You can talk about your playwright
competitions, but this new play is just about the best new
play I’ve seen produced on a Columbia stage. “
Addison
DeWitt
The Free
Times Columbia, SC
"As a
director, I dream of finding the perfect script; one with
an excellent story-line, realistic characters and the
potential to take an audience from laughter to tears and
back. Messiah
on the Frigidaire is that
dream come true."

script is among the best I’ve read. Right up there with
Inge and Kanin who just happen to be two of my favorite
Playwrights. I am thrilled and honored to add Culbertson to
that list."

on the Frigidaire is a

a play.”

interpret differently.”

“I want
to thank John Culbertson for writing such a wonderful
script, full of so many remarkable moments. His script is
truly a work of art, and I am excited that I get to be
involved with sharing such an amazing piece of work with
the audience.”
Wayne-John
Rousse
Director Messiah
on the Frigidaire
Workshop Theatre, Columbia, SC
“Mr. Culbertson takes us on a roller-coaster ride from
laughs to tears, makes us face the darkest side of our
nature, and then leaves us laughing and hopeful with a
'happy' ending. And these days that is almost impossible to
find in the American theatre.”
Stas'
Czerkawski
Director Messiah
on the Frigidaire
Auburn Area Community Theatre,
Alabama
“The litmus test for any drama, especially a comedy, is
audience reaction. And on opening night of
Frigidaire,
the audience was laughing a lot, often quite mightily.”
