"Sharr White's The Other Place is a thought-provoking and at times riveting exploration of memory, identity, and the intricate complexities of the human mind. Theatre Artists Studio's production features a stellar performance by Debra Rich in this carefully constructed puzzle of a play that allows the audience to piece together the fragments of one woman's life while skillfully blending drama and mystery into an emotionally resonating journey."  - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)

"To say that Sharr White’s THE OTHER PLACE is unsettling is an understatement. And yet, the discomfort is purposeful. White intentionally thrusts the audience straightforward into the restless and confused mind of Juliana Smithton...If Juliana (portrayed with vigorous and wide-ranging emotional depth by Debra Rich) is confused about what is real and what is illusory, so are we. The playwright has devised the arc of the play so that, not until its very end, do we comprehend the cause of Juliana’s dis-place-ment.... the play, directed by Tom Noga, is an immersive experience in empathy-building"  - Herbert Paine, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
