McLucas navigated characters with internalized systemic sexism, racism, and homophobia with humanity...portraying [a] specific and heart wrenching character arc.

My Name Is Asher Lev

By Aaron Posner
Directed by Joshua McLucas
South Camden Theatre Company - Camden, NJ
The South Camden Theatre Company production proves that an ambitious company — and one in a unlikely location — can still inspire, lead us to question, remind us of our innate conflicts, and most of all, help us to remember that family, no matter how harmonious or conflicted, is a taproot for us all.
Sally Friedman, The Intelligencer
South Camden Theatre Company's stark production, directed in a straightforward fashion by Josh McLucas, tells the story in a quietly powerful fashion...it sparkles with life...
Tim Dunleavy, DC Metro Theater Arts
