Brooklyn Boy
Mandel Jewish Community Center
Director: Brian Zoldessy
"Dawn Youngs hits the right notes as Weiss’s “shiksa” (non-Jewish) wife, whose jealousy over her husband’s success destroys their fragile and childless marriage." Roy Berko http://www.royberkinfo.blogspot.com/
"Dawn Youngs simmers with jealousy as the competitive and self-absorbed wife Nina, who is barren physically (she can’t have children) and imaginatively (she hasn’t had a story published in six years)." http://www.clevelandjewishnews.com
"When the book hits it big, he must then navigate his newfound success through the dangerous shoals of personal relationships involving his dying father, Manny (a sweetly crotchety Bernard Canepari); his ex, Nina (touching, rueful Dawn Youngs); and his old neighborhood buddy, Ira (a most amusing and human Noah Budin)."

Directed by Geoffery Hoffman
"Erin Courtney's dark comic play uses surreal images to portray the breakdown of a corporate wife when she relocates to London. It's centered by the fierce, courageous portrayal of Wren by Dawn Youngs, whose bizarre reactions include pinned-to-the-floor panic attacks, inappropriate party games, and an unforgettable nude come-on to her gay children's book editor (the gob-smacked Curt Arnold)." Linda Eisenstein http://www.coolcleveland.com
"Dawn Youngs is remarkably believable as Wren" Christine Howey http://www.clevescene.com
"Dawn Youngs displays considerable courage as the hallucinatory, children's book-writing wife, especially in a scene that requires her to walk blithely around stark naked for a couple of minutes within a foot or two of the audience." Tony Brown http://blog.cleveland.com
