Video interview: WWAY – Video interview for “Collected Stories”
Review: Lavin brings new life to ‘Stories’, – Ben Steelman, Star News
“With imagination and keen perception, Bakunas directs Lavin and her co-star, Isabel Heblich (Sister James in ‘Doubt’) in the delightful drama “Collected Stories” by Donald Margulies. This successful telling of stories is an amazing, fast-paced, poignant two-act play.
Just as the Red Barn Studio’s first production, ‘Doubt’ left me thinking and analyzing, ‘Collected Stories’ did the same.
