"It is easy to see why The NOLA Project chose Archibald MacLeish's "J.B.," a modern-day verse play based on the Job story. Director Andrew Larimer has substituted a flood for MacLeish's nuclear wasteland as a local parallel and the text refers to a "murdered, broken city." The ending MacLeish gives his play, that to be human is to suffer "and what suffers, loves" and determinedly goes on, resonates as well." -David Cuthbert, The Times-Picayune
