“Carter’s extraordinary gift here is in taking these kids to the top without ever pushing them over it. They’re self-absorbed, insecure, noisy, angry, and obnoxious—but the audience is still rooting for them to be okay in the end, a bit of a tour de force on the director’s part.”-PTownie (June 2, 2018)

“Carter directs Lonergan’s one-room talk-fest with physical energy and simmering power. If “This Is Our Youth” is a harbinger for the season to come, then Outer Cape theatergoers are in for a formidable ride…”-Howard Karen, Wicked Local Wellfleet (June 6, 2018)

“But director Katherine M. Carter and the actors make the two young men seem like another smart variation on Vladimir and Estragonin “Waiting for Godot” — two men who fill the void of nothingness with chatter and activities that seem meaningless on the surface but serve either a dramatic or philosophical function underneath.”-Ed Siegel, WBUR (June 20, 2018)
