"Good theater, at its most basic, should simultaneously accomplish two things: entertain and enlighten the audience. And by the time Montalto’s piece of theater had ended, she had more than accomplished both. Plays don’t need to be two-and-a-half hours long, with a 10-minute intermission to be effective. Sometimes, all you need is a barebones set and a story worth hearing. You’ll find both at Emergency Used Candles." NY PRESS
