I was exhausted from laughing!
— Marielle Sabbag, Vocal Media Geeks
Danley leaves no crumbs in this jam-packed, lively, and riotous comedy. “Working For Crumbs” is outrageously fun.
— Abigail Dobry, MD Theatre Guide
Danley’s play pushes up the ridiculous and gives us a sense of catharsis; after all, who hasn’t wanted sweet revenge beyond the meetings and SMART objectives?
— LouReviews
A quick-witted farce in the style of commedia...their attempt to hide the truth results in a true comedy of errors.
— OC Weekly
Be prepared to laugh out loud—a lot!
...Along with the crazed energetic humor and hilarious physical comedy that we associate with the Marx Brothers, there are also some delicious, delicate moments
— Jonathan Sachs & Ruth Neeman, Burlington Buzz
Working For Crumbs will have you laughing, at times a little too hard, from start to finish... a delectable treat!
— Amanda N. Gunther, Theatre Bloom
A whimsically deadly spectacle.
— Daily Herald Tribune
A conclusion as haywire and whimsical as the rest of the production, with laughs until the last line of dialogue....Working for Crumbs is a must see.
— Everything Theatre
A hilarious farcical plunge in the secretarial pool with dynamic roles that have been yet to be written for actresses. Like if FAT CAT KILLERS were written for women. Thank you, Danley, for writing this brilliant, smart and deliciously dark comedy. Young physical comediennes everywhere, rejoice!
— Ignition Arts
The laughs are relentless
— Kevin T. Baldwin, METRMag
