"Jordan Tannahill's play Concord Floral is a modern suspense drama with a gothic horror twist. It focuses on a group of teens who are forced to deal with the aftermath of two of them finding a dead body. While this drama is very good and completely interesting it isn't entirely successful, although I also haven't stopped thinking about it since seeing Mesa Community College's excellent, intriguing and suspenseful production. MCC's cast features several exciting performances with direction and creative elements that are superb...The creative elements help to evoke the eerie nature crucial to the plot. Josh Hontz's sound design is a knock-out, filled with spooky sound effects and ambient noise to create a creepy aural soundscape, and the lighting design by Troy Buckey uses shadows to play up the suspenseful elements..."   -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
