Joli Tribuzio
"What the play mainly becomes, in the hands of Mr. Cantone and the very fine Ms. Tribuzio, is a brother-sister story of ferocious devotion. Jackie is a gay man in a virulently homophobic age, and Dotty will hear no one speak a word against him. Dotty is a scheming, unrepentant liar, and Jackie loves her anyway."

"JOLI TRIBUZIO PLAYS THE OVERLY EMOTIONAL DOTTY MORELLI WITH EXCEPTIONAL SKILL. JUST WHEN YOU THINK SHE'S ALL FIRE, SHE GIVES US A TENDER MOMENT WHERE WE UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE'S FIGHTING FOR.

"Joli Tribuzio is particularly strong as Dion's mother, Frances. Tribuzio is deeply sympathetic not in spite of the hard, unpleasant shell which her painful life has given her, but because of it. Joe Barbara is convincing as a troubled Bronx cleric whose adherence to religious principle prevents him from providing Frances with the seemingly best advice regarding her marriage."

"Tribuzio is excellent as Dotty, always ready with a cutting remark, angry glance, stream of cuss words, or bearing her soul to someone she hasn't seen in years, as the situation requires.
Her performance is also definitely one to remember when awards are being handed out."
