SOLDIERS: THE DESERT STAND: Reviews/Announcements
2008 After Dark Award for Madeline Long's portrayal of Toma Singerson
Outstanding Performance in a Play
"...the play's comic sensibility is impressive and in perfect balance with the chilling moments that result from the appropriation of cartoon violence, exploration of the play between reality and fantasy of war games and mediation on the media coverage of war."
- Monica Westin, NewCity Chicago
"Madeline Long’s all-in performance as the foul-mouthed, lisping,
violence-crazed preteen does her country proud. - Kris Vire, TimeOut Chicago
"LiveWire Chicago Theatre is yet another example of the talent that brims from every nook and cranny of this city...proof that a tiny show can look, sound, feel and play great...Their world premiere of “Soldiers: The Desert Stand” displays excellence in creative and technical execution..."
- Venus Zarris, Gay Chicago Magazine
"nihilistic lampoon" - Bill Williams, Chicago Reader

Jeff Recommended,
Jeff Nomination for Matt Kelly portrayal of Clegg
Outstanding Actor in a Play
...the two performers are thoroughly commanding...Michele Kline is heartbreaking, disintegrating convincingly...Matt Kelly is all monolithic banality-the counterintuitive but correct choise, conveying a creeping menace... - Brian Nemtusak, Chicago Reader
