Review: Lavin brings new life to ‘Stories’, – Ben Steelman, Star News

“Lavin, Red Barn Studio Score Again with Collected Stories”
“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.
Jackie Iler – The State Port Pilot, Southport, NC
