-Chicagoland Filmmakers and CNGM Pictures Audience Award: Best Actress

"Where Shakespeare provided more character-driven humor this Labor was more successful... Kate Kuen's illiterate country wench summoned forth a simple commedia dell'arte charm." --Ambush Magazine Love's Labor's Lost Review (June 2010)

-Storer Boone nomination for best supporting actress in a drama (NOLA)

Dishy Kate Kuen plays the salaciously saucy Poona, who is willing to get into her big pink box (a cousin of Woody Allen's Orgasmatron in "Sleeper") with a prince, rabbit or what-have-you. She's the "Candy"/"Candide" figure making her way through life in a series of disheveled sketches. Kuen is also the director whose organized chaos is very much at one with the play.
- David Cuthbert, Nola.com

Under Kuen's capable direction, the cast had a ball with this romp. It's a play in which one should expect the unexpected. Even the intermission featured extra entertainment. The show's bite was every bit as good as its bark.
