REVIEWS & RECOMMENDATIONS
"John Mabey’s “The Mount Greylock Fish Hawk Squawk” involved the entire company as three couples lost on the mountain disclose their own special anniversaries as they find themselves lost and abandoned...reflects their personal lives and...reflects our own lives...Directors were spot on with each piece...especially “The Mount Greylock Fish Hawk Squawk.”

"The theme of “what’s right in front of you is easy to miss” paired with witty dialogue in John Mabey’s “The Mount Greylock Fish Hawk Squawk” endeared the plights of three couples celebrating different anniversaries on a mountain hike...lighting was most effective in “The Mount Greylock Fish Hawk Squawk.”

“Mabey's play cleverly seems to be saying that you may be looking for something precious (the title bird) but in the process, you find something more precious, like better communication in your flawed relationship. The three couples (also cleverly given names that can be played by any gender) are at various stages of their relationships. Some happy, some going south. The seemingly lost couples encounter the bird, but that takes a back seat to what they learn about each other in the search.”
