- Emily Jewer, photographer, actor/writer

My name is Jon Kelleher. I recently heard abt your performance Kill Zone; A Love Story. I served w 3 Commando Canadian Airborne Regiment in both Belet
Huen and Mogadishu fr Dec 92 to June 93. I was actually in Toronto at a treatment centre for PTSD I received fr that deployment. Thank you for taking the time to bring this story forward. You have no idea how happy and hopeful it makes me that you and your group would do this. Im sorry I missed it but would love to see it. Ive heard powerful reviews.

- Thank you. Jon Kelleher, Veteran

My father was in the Korean War and was serving on the HMCS Iroquois when it was hit. He really connected with the play and commented he found it accurately reflected the emotions and impressions one experiences in that setting and situation. Thank you again, it was truly thought provoking and powerful.

- Patti Green, Govt. Administrator

Your play is ambitious and courageous in its big dimensions. The crows are such a brilliant device to graphically illustrate Ray’s triggers that condemn him to experience his trauma over and over. The drama is intense and gripping. The play is awesome. I want to humbly offer my congratulations to you.

- Ann Lou King, musician

It's one of the most profound anti-war meditations that I've ever seen, and that's why I loved it so much.

- Tom Gallant, entertainer, playwright, authour

I just wanted to say thank you for a stunning afternoon of theatre. It was one of the best things I have seen in a long time. Oh, so many things will be running through my mind for days! Congratulations again on a breathtaking afternoon.

- Roberta Mildenberger, Eastern Shore Players, Memory Lane Heritage Village

It is riveting. Extremely well done. You could hear a pin drop throughout the show.

- Kevin McNamara, Consultant, Chair Heat Theatre

Congrats on Kill Zone. It was intense, provocative, and very well-cast. I hope you had a successful run, and perhaps we'll find a project on which to collaborate soon.

- Dan Bray, Artistic Director Villains Theatre, actor, playwright

Killzone was a tour de force. Bravissima. The play gained power as it unfolded; the acting was searingly alive and Kent's direction masterful; such stage pictures too!

- Glenn Walton, Filmmaker, writer, educator, composer.

I applaud your poetic voice and subject matter. The play will stay with me for a long time... we spoke in complimentary terms about our evening of Theatre. (capital T intentional).

- Barry Cowling, Filmmaker

Absolutely riveting & thought-provoking & very well done! Excellent!

- Nancy McCarthy, Theatre practitioner, Halifax

I am still haunted by it. Wonderful, insightful writing and fine performances. Loved the parachuting image, among many other things. Huge congratulations!

- Steven Burns, Professor (Philosophy) King’s College, Halifax

You couldn’t have found a better Ray than Dave Rossetti – an inspired choice! The audience was captivated by the story and characters. Any plans to tour Kill Zone?

- Elizabeth MacDonald, Acappella Communications Inc., Halifax

How pleased I was. Your characters were real, the production was dynamic, and I particularly liked the Greek chorus of crows... inspired!

- Kathy Large, Program Manager, CBC Radio.

...you have something special here, like the thing with the crows - we live with them every day within us and they are pecking and trying to claw
there way out but to fit in we stuff them back in but they cut up your insides and no one can see the bloody mess they make on the inside because we look perfectly normal on the out side, if people only new what was eating us up on the inside it would be treated like cancer.

- Jim Lowther, Veteran and President, Veteran’s Emergency Transition Services

Kill Zone a Love Story is the rarest of phenomena: the right force at the right time, educating and healing exactly when needed most.

Heat Theatre is saying something important, and it is wonderful to hear.
