“Ben Sterlin’s portrayal of Mickey Marcus falls somewhere on the passion spectrum between Sean Penn’s performance in Milk championing gay rights, to Al Pacino screaming “ATTICA” in Dog Day Afternoon.

“Ben Sterlin’s first directorial debut for SUDS is a bold choice in an explosive, uncomfortable, yet thoroughly enjoyable two and half hours, introducing many fresh faces and daring production choices to the SUDS scene.”

“‘I love how unapologetic the play is,’ Sterlin yelled over the steadily increasing noise. ‘It almost takes the audience for a ride — it’s truly extravagant. Which makes having an extravaganza appropriate.’”
