"Alan Altschuler, who plays Baylor, Beth's crude father, is menacing and commanding."
-- Theater That Matters
"A strong cast of dedicated actors who work hard to bring this emotional piece to life...Baylor (Alan Altschuler) plays a significant role as he would rather worry about business than his sick daughter."
"This is one of the largest and, across the board, strongest casts The Seeing Place has ever had in one of the company's productions...In particular, Altschuler...One great example is Altschuler's body language - not only do his words express that Baylor doesn't care much about his daughter's fragile condition, but just the way he carries himself shows his total apathy."
