"Bravo!!!!! We had a great time at the show and thoroughly enjoyed the performance. We've told a number of people about the show and even were inspired to become season ticket holders for the upcoming season." – John R. Streitmatter
"Art matters. Divine art (that which reveals the soul) is vital. You guys did divine art." – Bradley Falk
"March of the Kitefliers was better than I ever expected. It was the first Jobsite performance for both me and my roommate. The acting, writing, directing and even production was so amazing that I apologize that I don't have the right words to express how impressed I was.... I can't wait to see another performance. You are all incredibly talented and Tampa is fortunate to have Jobsite here." – Jenny Weigle
"We had a phenomenal time last night. Congratulations on creating a innovative and utterly hilarious script – not to mention driving home a really great point. Wow, wow, wow.... I kept thinking to myself, 'wow. they really put effort into building this.' ...I hope I get to make it down to see the show again. The standing ovation was well deserved. Congratulations." – Tim Burke
"It was phenomenal! The show was hilarious! I laughed the whole way through. In fact between all my snorts and guffaws, I darn near peed my pants a few times. So if you go, bring your Depends. You'll need them.... And the show's message is great too." – Dawn Narramore
"My wife couldn't stop talking about your play over the weekend to all our family. She really enjoyed it as did I. She had never been to a play before so she didn't know what to expect but she loved it." – Jacen Santiago
"Michelle and I attended Saturday's show, and we had not read a review. March of the Kitefliers was a masterpiece! We have been season ticket holders for several years now, this was absolutely one of the best top 3 plays and performances we have seen you all do. Keep up the great work and may all your original works be as big a hit as this was!!" – Wayne and Michelle Smith

Reviews
"...it is charming and fresh and - wonder of wonders - genuinely funny... what you might call an uber grande good time." - Amanda Henry, The Tampa Tribune
"...the poignant drama and spunky hilarity cut close to the bone...." AOL Cityguide
"[Gobioff and Paonessa] wanted to surprise audiences with their new play, The March of the Kitefliers. They've succeeded in a several ways." - Marty Clear, St. Pete Times
"...funny and poignant.... The acting is as solid as the script. ....Kitefliers is a romantic comedy, but has enough wit and freshness, even on second viewing, to set it apart from the genre's run-of-the-mill entries." – St. Petersburg Times
