"In Evan Cabnet’s skillfully acted, quietly absorbing production for LCT3, the greatest pleasures are in the details: the exactness of Pearle’s dialogue, the slow boil of denial and resentment, the thin fissures between Alex and her therapist husband, Greg."
Time Out New York
Adam Feldman
"Mr. Pearle has found an intriguing subject of real currency, and one that stirs our natural sympathy. And with the ever-excellent Ms. Gugino and Mr. Grosz giving layered, honest performances in the central roles, 'A Kid Like Jake' mostly keeps us engrossed."
The New York Times
Charles Isherwood
"Director Evan Cabnet’s cast and production impress. Carla Gugino [is] wonderfully nuanced. Pearle displays a fine-tuned ear for conversational dialogue."
