Edith Can Shoot Things and Hit Them is the "warm, sweet-tempered sophomore effort from new collective Artists at Play" with moments that LA Weekly describes as "authentic and delightful." The show "keeps its audience on the edge of their seats" and is considered

Asians on Film, "this wonderful play firmly
grounds itself with real characters and real issues to effortlessly pull
both heartstrings and laughs."
