"Robert Anderson's I Never Sang for My Father expertly portrays how family dynamics, and the relationships between parents and children, can cause both love and hate. The drama focuses on one son's lifelong need for the approval and love of his father and the emotional toll that takes when his father is a selfish, emotionless man. It's a simple play with a minimal plot, but Anderson's realistic characters and dialogue plus Theatre Artists Studio's superb cast result in an exceptional production that simmers and crackles until it ultimately explodes with raw emotion.....

"The bookends of Robert Anderson's memory play, I NEVER SANG FOR MY FATHER, echo a haunting refrain about the frailty of love and connection ~ and, in the failure to realize both, the enduring consequences: 'Death ends a life. But it does not end a relationship.' That sorrowful truth is the axis on which Tom Garrison and his son Gene spin in their daunting struggle to gain one another's affirmation and respect. Theatre Artists Studio is closing its season with Anderson's play. Directed by Steve Fajardo, the presentation is appropriately stark and focused. A simple set with the bare essentials gives the right space to a string of stirring performances... " - Herbert Paine, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
