Written by Brian Golden
Directed by Jessica Hutchinson
FOUR STARS ... New Leaf's tight production of Brian Golden's new play delivers ideal American realism: seamless movement from emotional peak to trough, focus on familial dynamics, and a yearning to understand the past as turnkey to the present.
- Ryan Dolley, TimeOut Chicago
Burying Miss America is one of the best plays I've seen this season.
- Lauren Whalen, Chicago Theatre Beat
Not a moment feels false in this New Leaf Theatre production thanks to Marsha Harman and Ted Evans, who, as the siblings, capture the bittersweet blend of love and resentment unique to the familial bond.
- Zac Thompson, Chicago Reader
There's a real sense of what emotional loneliness can look like ... Evans is an actor to watch.
- Nina Metz, Chicago Tribune
If ever there was a show in the right performance space, this is it ... [the actors] effortlessly switch between joviality and angry bickering as only siblings can.
- Zach Freeman, New City

JEFF RECOMMENDED
"... a beautiful call for unabashed, wide-eyed optimism in the face of darkness."
- Neal Ryan Shaw, New City
"The acting is sensational ... young Caroline Phillips is terrific, [Tien Doman] is terrific ... they are simply cradled by the set and the sound design."
- Kelly Kleiman, WBEZ's Dueling Critics
"... an imaginative adaptation by Georgette Kelly and ambitious, soulful direction by Jessica Hutchinson ... incredibly thoughtful use of space to signify vast swaths of space and time, overlapping stories, and a lighthouse beacon at its center."
- Monica Westin, Flavorpill Chicago
"Lighthousekeeping shines as a poetic, touching and clever piece of theatre. Doman and Butts are stunning ... a masterfully executed adaptation."
- Keith Ecker, Chicago Theatre Beat
Combine the memory of your most joyous kiss hello with that of your longest kiss goodbye. Gorgeous. Go.
