FIVE STARS! - "Director Elena Velasco guides her cast adeptly through the small space....Using projections, movement, and some classic storytelling techniques, this production puts a new spin on the theme that the people we love the most can also make us feel the most “stuck."...This Is All Just Temporary deftly highlights the strength of the feelings of both love and guilt a family can elicit in us, and how we sometimes must come together to make impossible choices." - Jon Bavoso, DC Theatre Scene
