“Machine Learning is a tight 90-minute drama with a stellar cast that explores companionship and the human condition (as all good sci-fi should).” By Alex Simmons, Oct 21
“All four of these capable performers are ensemble players and keen listeners, expertly wearing their characters on their sleeves, and providing engagingly organic performances.” By Victor Gluck, Oct 22
“Darkly funny and deeply human, MACHINE LEARNING explores our search for connection in a world increasingly led to believe that technology can fix all.” By Tara Lamorgese, Oct 27
“While the play generates the suspense and menace of a thriller, it also proves effective if viewed purely as a domestic tale, as the verbal sparring, kinder interactions and shifting allegiances reveal four compelling characters.” By Adrienne Onofri, Oct 22
