"An interesting look at the politics of modern romance in places of higher learning, where codes have been established to keep teachers from getting chummy with their students... Lawrence is amazingly compelling... Gonzalez fills [his role] with his own more cerebral qualities... Polis is a standout, as are Husmann and Carlease Burke... Alison Vail Fuller directs with a steady hand." "Dialectics of the Heart is a smart play. Writer Dale Griffiths Stamos stakes out ambitious ground to cover and engages both the head and the heart... Director Alison Vail Fuller skillfully plays with the setting of the story. ...Sharon Lawrence skates a thin line between vulnerability and off-putting frigidity. It's a challenge she's up to. ...Stamos leaves us with hope and our own reflections. This is, after all, a thoughtful play. RECOMMENDED." "[Nicholas Gonzalez is] charismatic... Lawrence is beautiful and dignified ... Polis and Carlease Burke also turn in appealing performances as her colleagues and confidants." "Stamos is a playwright who knows her philosophy well enough to make both subject and drama come alive... the journey is challenging and entertaining." "Gonzales and Lawrence are both fine actors and they are backed up by a tremendously gifted ensemble... a pleasant evening of theater." "I won't give away the surprise denouement at the very end but I will guarantee you it will make the whole trip more than worthwhile... Alison Vail Fuller directs the whole piece with incisiveness and style." "Lawrence and Gonzalez exude a believable rapport... colorful, character-rich portrayals by Carlease Burke and Joel Polis... Polis' Monohan is particularly endearing... Peter Husmann delivers a brief but notable turn." "An expert cast, led by Sharon Lawrence... with each passing scene, her personality transforms... [Nicholas] Gonzalez makes an ideal counterpart.... At its heart, "Dialectics of the Heart" ably tackles the question, 'How do we know what we know?'" "Stamos' play is quite literate... Lawrence gives a wonderfully nuanced performance as a deeply conflicted woman...For those who enjoy a good love story, you will not be disappointed."
