NOTE: Because "A Pebble In My Shoe" deals with such sensitive and controversial issues, we have chosen to include both positive and negative feedback in an effort to represent all points of view.

"...The play is so well-written and brilliantly performed that we had the sense Bishop Spong was right with us. You are to be congratulated on striking a fine balance between being true to the Bishop's experience, message and convictions and yet maintaining a light, loving spirit. We shall be recommending strongly to others that they seek the opportunity to experience your wonderful play."

"You had us laughing and crying.  Wonderful job of making a very serious topic light enough to be enjoyable and easily understood, without making light of it.  Bravo!!!  Bravo!!! Bravo!!!"

...Richard Johnson, Woodland Hills CA

"I was very impressed and moved, particularly by the structure of your material and the clarity of the acting without excess or labour .  Audience response was so positive and involved. Spoke to several people afterwards and you genuinely affected them."

"My heart still races when I think on some of the lines and scenes from that play. You also were part of an incredible healing process which has been desperately needed in this diocese for a long while. On so many levels, it was simply amazing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

"It was a deeply moving experience to see "Pebble" and to feel the pain of Jack's long loneliness and struggle.  It was hard to see my church in such a harsh light.  Even though I went through it all, I was not at the center of the storm as Jack was.  Thank you for such a fine piece of writing about a pivotal figure in our church's life."

...Clarke Oler, All Saints' Church

" Congratulations again on the successful premiere of Pebble. Great script and beautifully acted and directed."

...Keith Henning, North Hollywood Church of Religious Science
