“Spreading the Word is about three women (Cynthia Babak, Sarah Baker, and Vickie Tanner) sitting around and comparing notes about their common two-timing mutual ex-boyfriend. It is reminiscent of a Sex in the City episode.”

Jack Quinn, TheatreScene.net

“ Dykstra usually gives his sketches simple foundations: roommates debate how to paint the patio furniture; women skewer a common ex in a clinic waiting room; actors argue about a performance. But each scene soon escalates through looping meta-logic and fast talk, frequently rising into an obsessive-compulsive delirium…("You said 'witches' and followed it up with 'wenches'?").”
