“…everything that you want a show for young
audiences to be… written with insight and compassion
by David S. Craig around a very important theme: the
thin but seemingly uncrossable line that divides the
haves from the have-nots in our society. —Richard

“Entertains, instructs and uplifts us, all without
ever stooping to patronize. A powerful piece of theatre

“Impressively blending contemporary realities
and enduring emotional truths, Craig fashions Danny
into a prince of a play.” —Jon Kaplan, NOW
Magazine
“David S. Craig shines a penetrating light on
the mind set of a wanting kid most citizens would drive
by thoughtlessly on one of our sorry streets. Funny,
real and ultimately uplifting.” —Kevin Prokosh,
Winnipeg Free Press
