“…an ensemble of appealing actors who seem completely at home with this loose-limbed material. Investing it with a physicality and free-willed theatricality, the company is sharp and funny and, in investigating what goes on under those lacy, beribboned bloomers, enormously sexy. Pasha McKenley's adventurous portrayal is so much fun, especially next to Karyn Dwyer's wide-eyed tentativeness and the gorgeous underplaying of June Raphael. Kirstin Hinton and a solid Kim Kuhteubl complete the cast, whose members form a uniquely feminine bond as they collectively explore the power of forbidden words, the painful pressure of unspoken expectations, the care of one's virginity, and the joy of reaching new heights.”
