"The most powerful piece of the evening, "Piney Ridge" directed by Ralph Peduto, is a gripping story of racial tension in 1920s Virginia. The outstanding cast (Gail Borkowski, J.J. Porter, Melaku Assegued, and especially Briana Michaud) and Peduto's splendid direction combine to provide a stunning and haunting story -- in only 10 minutes." (Santa Cruz Sentinel, January 26, 2007)
