"Bess Wohl's Grand Horizons is a heartfelt dramedy that focuses on family and the importance of standing up for yourself. Featuring a solid cast that balances the humor and heart in the script and strong direction, Stage Left Productions is presenting a moving and entertaining Phoenix debut of Wohl's play as their first production in their new and intimate Glendale location. ...Wohl's play grapples with themes of identity, the need for independence, and the often evolving and bumpy nature of love between spouses and between parents and their children. ... However, some of the script seems disjointed at times and repetitive, with a few scenes that could be tightened to improve their impact. ...The entire cast deliver wonderful performances, with all actors bringing depth and authenticity to their roles. Shari Watts is wonderful as Nancy, blending quiet strength with vulnerability as she reclaims her independence. ...Bill, played with understated humor and charm by Richard Powers Hardt, conveys the weariness and confusion of a man grappling with change even if he presents himself as being in control and stubborn at times."   - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
