“The solution to the cycle of violence? Artistic Director Burton Wolfe proposes a  solution in his new musical, NEIGHBORS… It’s moving… The songs are frequently touching and well performed… At the play’s end, the opening night audience was moved to its feet –an ovation with much applause and many shouts of ‘bravo.’ Wolfe’s vision had moved their hearts.”

"In its premiere performance, the play is truly powerful--- In the words of Mahatma Gandhi, "If you want peace, you must begin with the children..." The pace never slows down---   Songs, 
 Love is my Religion and Leaving you are likely to bring tears.  The dark A Brainwash to Death is a dramatic scene you won't forget.  In the end, it all comes together in a very surprising way."

" Neighbors"  brings a message of peace.  Wolfe has written the book and lyrics to 20 musical numbers... Abraham sings to his wife, Sarah, "It's All Been a Blessing Shared with You"  which captures the sweetness and intimacy of a long-married couple.... Fatima's song, "A New World is Born," and the play's anthem, "Safe to Live," were strong moving musical moments..."
