"... iTheatre Collaborative's well-directed production of Graham's challenging and intriguing play features a gifted cast who allow the audience to see that racism is most likely something we will never solve and that almost everyone has both positive and negative aspects...Director Christopher Haines has found a talented cast to breathe life into these three-dimensional characters....Matthew Cary instills Ray with a deep sense of conviction, while Victoria Stokes makes her Valley debut in a powerhouse performance as Shatique. Kim LaVelle is a firecracker as Roz...You may be somewhat offended by what Graham has to say, or feel uncomfortable in possibly seeing aspects of yourselves in the characters he has written, but you'll also most likely be forced to really think about the modern reality of racism....

"..While all five actors are well cast to ability and extremely well played, it’s ultimately the three adults, Matthew Cary’s Ray, Kim LaVelle’s Roz and Victoria Stokes’ Shatique that holds attention, particularly Stokes who truly shines in her valley acting debut. Once secrets and motives are fully revealed, the scenes between Ray and Shatique develop into something practically combustible......

"...Bruce Graham pulls no punches in WHITE GUY ON THE BUS, his stinging broadside at the underbelly (the hypocrisies and contradictions) of racism that contaminates the American soul.....The power of Graham's punch is sustained in iTheatre Collaborative's riveting production of WHITE GUY ON THE BUS, superbly directed by the company's artistic director, Christopher Haines and featuring a first-rate cast.....Because Graham's play is unsettling and brutally honest, it demands to be seen, to be absorbed, and to be contemplated. There can be no better opportunity to bear the sting of this gut punch than to step into the ring with Haines's heavy hitters.....
