“The show provides insight into so much of what it means to be human: how we relate to the divine, how we process trauma, how we forgive the unforgivable, how we individuate from children into adults, and how we create something out of nothing. And does it artfully from nuanced acting to set, sound, and costuming” — Cultural Voice of NC
“What stood out to me was the play of absence and presence and the way that stories that we tell or the secrets that we keep — the lies that we keep from others — how they take up space and how they have a presence, even when we think they're not there.” — Elise Edwards, Ph.D, Baylor University

“Harris and Johnson make sure that 5 has a constant sense of discovery; obviously, the company knows what will happen next but, partly because the potential outcomes are so huge, the audience is in a constant state of surprise.” —Star Tribune
“H. Adam Harris has fashioned a theater piece that entertains us, makes us question the characters and ourselves and even surprises us. It feels cohesive and real in a way that theater rarely does and then it still is able to add elements of the fantastic without losing its tone or grounding.” —The Stages of MN

“This production’s key achievement — and more than enough reason to go see it — are the three performances.” – OC Register
“Harris displays a keen eye for the telling detail and endows the three-hander with a casually elaborate structure.” – The Show Report
“Harris not only brings out the very best from his three stars where acting and vocals are concerned, but his endlessly inventive work is seamlessly integrated with that of choreographer Niko Montelibano.” - StageSceneLA

Redwood
“Redwood was worth the wait…Director H. Adam Harris' smart and efficient staging unfolds on a candle-bedecked set as a frothy, over-the-top comedy in the first act and a touching drama in the second. Harris maximizes the humor before taking square aim at the heart.” —Star Tribune
“H. Adam’s smart and active direction keeps viewers engaged from scene to scene with bits of choreography and song that deepen the themes in the play. Redwood is witty, while also examining how a blood-guilty history might complicate present-day relationships.” —Minnesota Playlist
“H. Adam Harris directs this production of Redwood with sensitivity to the sea change in our landscape. He allows the humor to bubble up while stressing the humanity of these people who bear the weight of conundrums that remain unsolved centuries after they first took shape.” —Talkin’ Broadway

“H. Adam Harris has an innate understanding of the difficulties people can cause for themselves and for others, even when they are doing what they believe to be the best they can…In How It's Gon' Be, Harris digs deep into the essence of each character, revealing to us the forces that move them to take the actions they take, to say the things they say—not always the best-thought-out of plans, but always the most honest, coming directly from the heart.”

“Underdog, the feisty company founded by wave-making theater artist Kory LaQuess Pullam, has tapped director H. Adam Harris for a poignant staging by a crackerjack cast.” —Star Tribune
“This terrific cast, beautifully directed by H. Adam Harris, includes Kory LaQuess Pullam and Briana Patnode as the young parents, so believable and natural as these young and foolish kids, who really love each other and their daughter, but don't know how to navigate the world they've found themselves in.” —Cherry and Spoon
