- Reviews:
- "The closing refrain of “We’re All In This Together” is a reminder of how much work needs to be done, and the show as a whole is a reminder that we don’t have to just scowl and complain while doing it. Even if it doesn’t generally feel right now like life is a cabaret, it’s definitely a place where we can still laugh while fighting the good fight." -Scott Renshaw | City Weekly — City Weekly Review of SLAC's Summer Show: The Gaslight Zone
- "While the show is unapologetically political, it never feels preachy. It is first and foremost a comedy, and it succeeds because it never forgets that its primary goal is to make the audience laugh... Overall, I cannot recommend this show enough." -Lindsay Cruz | Utah Theatre Bloggers — Utah Theatre Bloggers Review of SLAC's Summer Show: The Gaslight Zone
- "Lucky for us, SLAC loves to poke fun in the funniest, most ridiculous way possible, and they do it with intelligence, searing criticism, and immense love." -Jason & Alisha Hagey | Front Row Reviewers — Front Row Reviewers Review of SLAC's Summer Show: The Gaslight Zone
- "Ultimately, THE GASLIGHT ZONE is incredibly amusing and, despite parodying heavy (and rather ironically) unimaginable real-life events, offers a night of delightful escapism and much-needed laughter." -Sydney Naegle | BroadwayWorld — BroadwayWorld Review of SLAC's Summer Show: The Gaslight Zone
