 Many of Trace Crawford's playsWhat they are saying...
And What a Damn Fine Morning It Is... "a hilarious send-up of consumerism in a neighborhood where aspiration is gospel... playwright Trace Crawford has his mischievous hand on our mercantile pulse" - Lynn Miller, Talkin' Broadway The Sum of Your Experience... "The one work that struck this reviewer as the most serious... The scene ends with a real twist that makes this one the winner in the Drama category." - Alan R. Hall, CVNC "… a mean-streets shakedown for something other than a character's money, a taut thrill ride…" - Byron Woods, Independent Weekly "Part confession and part psychoanalysis..." - Cliff Bellamy, The Herald Sun …the concept was interesting and the climax as the victim, shorn of his memories, stares at the gun the thief had given him in return, excellent… - Graham Cleverley, Wort.lu "…reminiscent of "Fight Club," as the thief demands that the man give him his memories and forces him to painfully talk about his unhappy and unfulfilling life." - Katie Reilly, The Rotunda A Couple of Metal Gods Sitting Around Talking... "…takes you back to college days or memories of rock concerts attended….funny, yet endearing…" - Mary DeBerry, AHTSPOT.com "…entertaining... If you’re as much a pushover for sight gags as I am, you’ll enjoy Carter and Ferreira playing air guitars like it’s a final competition on American Idol." - Bill Rodriguez, Providence Phoenix Time to Change the Pitch... "…Fast-talking TV car salesmen get a creative and funny retread in (the play by) National winner Trace Crawford...’" - George Walker, Indiana Public Media Trace was featured in the June 7, 2011 edition of Theatre Talk, the theatre blog of Columbus Dispatch Theater Critic Michael Grossberg.
Trace was mentioned in the December 2010 issue of American Theatre in the piece they ran about Mildred's Umbrella's Museum of Dysfunction III.
