"Playwright Laufer... directs with unblinking assurance.... Michael McClain’s treehouse set is a visual treat..." 

- Hap Erstein, Palm Beach ArtsPaper 

"Something magical is happening at Theatre Lab... Rooted is a well-crafted and beautifully executed play that uplifts but doesn’t shy away from observing the weeds that can infest even the most well-guarded refuge."
