“The story was told heart-breakingly well, I would return again just to see Terri transform the black-box theater into a bar at the peak of happy-hour on the Lower East Side. This is not one to miss.”
Sarin West – Times Square Chronicles
“Phil Palazzolo and David Hart’s sound design is masterful; the bustling bar, and the pouring and shaking of drinks, are not only fully audible but perfectly timed.”

Eleanor J. Bader, Theatre Is Easy
“Ingenious sound design of Phil Palazzolo… Michael Leeds’ high-speed direction… deft lighting by Jason Fok… Last Call is a straight, no-chaser serving of one woman’s truth; you’ll never look at your bartender the same way again.”
David Barbour, Lighting and Sound
“Not only does she provide an insightful view, for the uninitiated, into NYC bar culture, but more importantly into the soul of someone, like so many of us, trying to find a small slice of peace and order in a chaotic life.”

“The play skillfully unfolds”

“[At] Last Call, you’ll feel like the end came a little too quickly–not so dissimilar to the experience of nursing a drink, at the end of the night, at your favorite local bar.”

Patricia Norris – Woman Around Town
“Anyone who has spent time in a NYC dive bar, particularly in Greenwich Village, recognizes Terri Girvin. She’s a brassy, no-nonsense young woman whose regard vacillates between tender and tough-as-nails, as circumstance dictates….”

JK Clarke – Theater Pizzazz
