"Sally Jane Kerschen-Sheppard's comedy Blooming Cactus focuses on a subject that isn't talked about often: how a senior citizen can see the entire life they knew–their spouse, their friends, and their home–all suddenly disappear when they are forced to move to a retirement home in a new town. But Blooming Cactus is a comedy with many laugh out loud moments, so while those serious moments are touched upon, and they are delivered terrifically in Theatre Artists Studio's world premiere production, it's the humorous moments that truly shine with a cast that sparkle with their sharp comic timing....Gran's 18-year-old grandson Joey comes to stay with her for several months (he) meets his grandmother's friends Denny and Jean and soon realizes that the three of them are running a drug smuggling ring...as a way to supplement their fixed income...the dialogue is natural, the jokes funny, and the tender moments warm. It's also very funny. Under Debra Rich Gettleman's smooth direction, the cast excel, especially Patti Suarez who is a gem as Gran." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
