Election Day
“Sharp performances get the vote in ‘Election Day’… the cast, which also includes a very funny James Kinney as the aforementioned activist—all beard and love beads and smooth moves."
- Nina Metz, Chicago Tribune
Dirty Blonde
“The three actors in the play have multiple roles...James Kinney turns in a respectable and understated performance as West's husband, Frank Wallace.”
- Charleston City Paper
