“...Still the exuberant heart that McLean, director John Hildreth and the other performers pour into this production make it worth the journey. As Muley, Darren Myers is a natural, real-life presence. As his mentor Mel, Bryson Engelen is smooth sex appeal and crackling intellect. Kate Nawrocki is all heart and quivering passion as the idealized Jill and Allison Cain is both maternal and sublimely sassy in a variety of roles.”

“California Crossing is unique because it realistically captures the essence of teenagers, or at least the ones I remember. Pot smoking, political diatribes, family tribulations, sex, music, love, jealousy, high school pressures, and dreams...am I leaving anything out?”
