SEAL SONGS 
Two tales of love lost and found by the English seaside.

“…poetic and magical … love, loss and healing, … lyrical dialogue … funny and touching … Atcheson is mesmerizing and Green is an ideal straight man ... Both plays are a delight to watch and Atcheson and Green, along with direction by MacGowan, create such a wonderful sense of time and place that you can almost hear the seagulls and smell the salty sea air.”
- Andrea M. Meek – Showbusiness Weekly

“… an appealing bit of sentimental whimsy … genuine emotional content … adorable and heartbreaking … It is a joy to watch. … the audience leaves smiling and even a little misty.” 
- David Vining – nytheatre.com

“… from the mundane to the fantastic … Katie Atcheson and Richard Kent Green are charming and engaging … just the right length and combination of talent and experimentation"
- Kessa De Santis – electroniclink.com

“ ‘Deep Water’ … a sweet subject for a half-hour one-act. Green is appealingly rustic, with just a dash of goodhearted cluelessness … Nora’s infatuation with the sea and its mystical denizens infuses every pore of Atcheson’s intensely detailed performance…’Deep Water’ has a real humanity that deserves to be explored and savored over a longer period of time.”
- Matthew Murray, Talkin’Broadway.com

"SEAL SONGS, two well-written one acts involving seals by Jennifer Fell Hayes, directed by Kathy Gail MacGowan, … sweet, charming, realistic … Richard Kent Green inhabits the character of the shy workman who loves music— he IS the man … Green is totally convincing in his characterization, and he and Atcheson work well together in this enjoyable comedy."
- Richmond Shepard, lively-arts.com

"Richard Kent Green is a thoughtful actor who approaches his characters with a gentle hand.  He makes careful work of his accent in the first play and inhabits Alan with a touch of melancholy that makes you lonely when he makes his final exit."
- Usher Nonsense.com
