"José Rivera’s new drama MASSACRE (SING TO YOUR CHILDREN) has both the visceral thrill of Stephen King and the eerie magic realism of Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
   The playwright takes a group of everyday people, living in a typical small town, and plops them into a fever dream of hatred, retribution and regeneration.
   Rivera’s darkly comic play…"
Mary Houlihan, Sun-Times (Chicago)

   "…there’s also downright militancy and politically charged passion in Rivera’s MASSACRE really is one of those difficult Rorschach Tests-of-a-play whose narrative loopiness, supernatural meanings and political allegory will haunt and confound each audience member in a different way…."
Fabrizio O Almeida, Newcity
