"Vermont Stage Company's production of the 85-minute one-act, directed by Cristina Alicea, focuses more on the deep social messages of Hall's play than on the humorous flirtation between a very human King and a young, attractive and seemingly available woman. On opening night, the audience gave The Mountaintop an immediate standing ovation. This is a play for our times. Hall's irreverent tragicomedy may not have answers, but it invites a discussion about how humans deal with hatred." - Seven Days

"Director Cristina Alicea, the artistic director of Vermont Stage, encourages Garrett and Tyler to let their characters unfold without artifice. The larger-than-life civil-rights hero and the humble, mysterious maid seem on equal footing and of equal significance." - The Burlington Free Press

"While 'The Mountaintop' is largely a comedy, it goes deeper than most dramas. And Vermont Stage’s production, directed by Artistic Director Cristina Alicea, plumbs those depths, having fun along the way." - The Times Argus
