"Directed by Mark Shanahan, the two-hander features Jan Neuberger as Helen Anderson Kirk, aka Mrs. Mannerly, and Matthew Schneck as Jeffrey and a handful of children who populate the makeshift classroom in the local YMCA... aided by the soundtrack of '60s music, the evocative old furnishings and cinderblock walls.." - Talkin' Broadway

"Scenic designer James Fenton has faithfully replicated the faded glory of the Y’s former gym, now home to athletics of a different sort and competition of a different sort...“Mrs. Mannerly” oozes charm and warmth" - Lowell Sun

"The sets are minimalist but effective, with the majority of the story unfolding in the rumpus room of the local YMCA. The one exception is a scene at the local watering hole where Ms. Neurberger finally gets to break from her Mrs. Mannerly facade and does a hilarious bit with Jeffrey involving nine shots of Johnny Walker." - Events Insider
