“Mary Bracken Phillips has worked hard -- and succeeded -- in delivering a pair of mesmerizing, fully realized characters. Augusta Pierce Tabor is a fascinating creation, as is Elizabeth "Baby Doe" Bonduell McCourt Tabor. When they're together onstage, matters ignite with the intensity of a steel forge.” Peter Filichia Star-Ledger

“Musical theatre that will catch your imagination and tug at your heartstrings! It’s a keeper!”- James Miller, Wichita Eagle

“…a mother lode of story material” New Haven Register

“A thoroughly engaging musical …filled with lovely melodies…however, it is the broader themes of redemption and forgiveness that elevate “SILVER DOLLAR” theatrically… especially in the stunning finale which brought a standing ovation.” - Diane Lewis, Wichita Eagle
