'A Rendezvous with God' is one of those plays producers dream about...Solid entertainment...Avi Hoffman gives a multi-faceted performance, capturing all the character nuances...He suffuses his reading with an understanding of both the man and the poet...fleshing out Manger's character so that he appears as a living breathing friend speaking to us, his audience, as to a group of close friends. ~ Backstage Magazine
