"Culminates in a startling moment which felt like it took the top of my head off."

"You won’t stop talking about this play once you see it"

"The White Card got under my skin."



Bay State Banner

“The White Card holds a mirror up to its patrons and asks, ‘Is this you?’"



Broadway World

A "groundbreaking piece of theater."



WBUR

"An intense and achingly relevant play"

"Taut and intense"

"There's much in this play that a lot of people really need to hear."



NE Theatre Geek

"Walking into the performance space at the Paramount for The White Card was a revelation. The transformation of the space from a theatre into a white hall erases the history of the theatre and shifts the focus entirely."



Edge Media Network

"A must-see event"

"The revelatory moments are just simple statements that cut into your very being."

"Deserves both our undivided attention and praise."

"Serves up many layers of thought-provoking themes"

"The actors' skill and passion to tell this story were equal to the exalted level of artistry of Ms. Rankine, Ms. Paulus, and the rest of their visionary creative team....should not be missed."



Boston & Beyond's Susan Mulford

"Digs deep into the psyche, prompting much discussion"



The Boston Globe

"a bracing experience that leaves you with plenty to think about."

"there's a gathering force to “The White Card,’’ which finds ways to get under your skin"
