"It’s very difficult to describe this brief but compelling production without spoilers – I’m starting them already! – so you’re just going to have to trust me: see SUNSET: TWO ACTS ON A BEACH. Really. See it. You will so not be sorry."

Sarz Maxwell Buzz Center Stage

"But there is some definite value to experiencing queer work last performed in the early 80s and seeing how gay art, as well as the communities they reflect, have and haven’t changed."

Dan Jakes Chicago Reader

"Nicely, Chris Sylvie's often buoyant John is contrasted effectively by Aaron Cappello's truthful hesitancy as Dan. Cappello, who ultimately gives the most natural performance here, and Sylvie truly ground these circumstances, allowing audience members to reflect on their own encounters and personal histories as well."

Brian Kirst Windy City Times

"as the second act begins, where John, played by the winsome and appealing Chris Sylvie, is looking for love at the same beach mens room. Dan, played by Aaron Cappello, closeted and married dad arrives. A situationship ensues that maybe will develop into something more. Played as a vulnerable and frightened construction worker who is trying desperately to square his idea of masculinity with what he most desires, their interaction takes us back to a time so very long ago when love could not speak its name."
