"...Childsplay continues to present plays that offer a wide range of topics that touch upon both comical and dramatic issues that impact children of all ages; its production of Flora & Ulysses, which is beautifully designed, well cast, and smartly directed, is no exception. While the plot may incorporate some serious themes and topics into a story of a young girl and a flying squirrel, that only results in a more realistic overall story when balanced with the humorous sequences and the witty and wacky characters..

"...a fun romp, to be sure...The cast includes some of the Valley’s best comic actors...although DiCamillo’s playful take on comic-book culture is perfectly engaging, it doesn’t strike the kind of deep chords that “Edward Tulane” did. " Kerry Lengel, Arizona Republic (click here to read the complete review)

"...Incorporating such themes as courage, love, divorce, separation, isolation, and language, there’s no doubt, Flora & Ulysses is a genuinely odd, flaky, but thoroughly engaging story...But it’s also the funniest, laugh-out-loud Childsplay production of its current 2017-18 season...
