“The satire is sharp and on point… Hearty laughs with hefty questions make for a great night of theater.”
—Kelly Rogers Flynt, Broadway World
“Ridgeway’s direction of the play is terrific… We laugh, we grimace, and then we laugh some more.”
—Gene Kahane, Alameda Post
“Altarena Playhouse’s production about well-intended people hoping to succeed outside their element hits its mark with fine acting and fine direction… ‘The Thanksgiving Play’ strikes many chords with great insight and accuracy.”
—Vic Cordell, Cordell Reports
“A mind-stretching, satirical ‘Let’s learn that’ tour through the false history of the indigenous people in America… Director Kimberly Ridgeway artistically enhances FastHorse’s humor, bringing each character to shine independently.”
—Pat Morin, Front Row Review

Rife with references to 1970s Oakland, “The Jewelry Box” follows six-year-old Brian’s adventures as he scours the help-wanted ads, applies for jobs and collects bottles, inching his way toward the coveted present, a jewelry box at the Hegenberger White Front store.
