WINNER!

Broadway World Austin Awards

Best Leading Actress in a Play (Amber Quick)

Best Leading Actor in a Play (David R. Jarrott)

“[David] Jarrott has fully captured the essence of this internally and externally crucified character... and brings the audience into the shadowy confines of the victim’s mind."

Brian Paul Scipione, CTX Live Theatre

"Jarrott Productions presentation at Trinity Street Theatre is smart and professionally slick. THE FATHER is nearly perfect in its technical aspects."

- Lynn Beaver, Broadway World Austin

"Director Roemer and the cast create an engrossing, complex story unfolded, almost literally, in compelling rhythm."

- Michael Meigs, CTX Live Theatre
