Reviews: Island Stage Left's production of "Trying" by Joanna Glass:

• "This show is a heck of a display of real, authentic acting. . . Newcomer to the island Libby Barnard is relentless in her portrayal of Sarah, and early on you find yourself cheering for her with her challenges with the judge, her past, and her own home life. Dan & Libby deliver the poetry of the play with the precision of wizards who know their spells well. And we were caught in that spell." --Ian Byington, San Jaun Island Update
