"Kenny Carnes gives a vibrant, unforgettable performance"

 

-The Worcesser Telegram

 

 

 

 

"Carnes is a remarkable performer. He bounces from multiple characters and shape-shifts through time and space with tremendous care. I was left astounded at his rhymes and rhythms how he was able to transition from mood to mood and character to character. It was stunning!"

 

-KAOR 91.1 FM RADIO

 

 

 

"Carnes delivers a

powerful message!"

 

-NY Theatre.com

 

 

 

 

"Carnes makes the audience aware of the social responsibilities war brings and gets his audience to realize other views. This is NOT a political play. Carnes is the ideal humanist

who finds union in our division as he

heals us through his art."

 

-The Crimson White

 

 

 

"The day was a true tribute to our men and women in uniform. Carnes' commitment and energy is truly inspirational."

 

-Citadel Communications, WPRO Radio
