“At only 75 minutes, the play flies by but never feels slight. Director Desdemona Chiang finds exactly the right tone to bring out the sympathy and sass in Nan’s story. The meta-theatrical jokes, the breaking of the fourth wall, the use of video slides all contribute to the fun, but the performances really do the trick when it comes to mining the story for its emotional truth…  The play is, in a way, post-ironic. Its meta-theatrical self-awareness makes it hip and of the moment, but all that leads to a powerfully authentic and emotional place.”
— Chad Jones, Theater Dogs

“Exit is a spirited comedy, able and clever, with likeable performances under Desdemona Chiang’s sure direction.”
— Robert Avila, SF Bay Guardian

“…under Desdemona Chiang’s direction, the fine-tuned ensemble is perfectly cast.”
— Jean Schiffman, The Examiner
