"Visually elegant and emotionally striking... The production doesn't pound the children over the head with atrocious images or inappropriately jarring moments. It eases them gently, but truthfully, into the reality of Hana's story...And adults (including this one) might be surprised to find themselves tearing up during particularly poignant moments, such as the display of a photo of the real Hana Brady projected onto the background...Director Larry Snipes does an amazing job conducting a harmonious symphony of technical, visual and narrative elements...Masked figures who represent the ghostly anonymity with which most Jews were viewed... render the show emotionally stirring... Much more than just a children's play, Hana's Suitcase is a brave, poetic and sometimes chilling production that responsibly passes on the painful lessons of history to the youth of today."
