“With this show, Hagen has matured into a beautifully balanced playwright/ performer. He has accomplished one of theatre’s most difficult tasks - to have his audience walk away with a much greater understanding – intellectually, emotionally, intuitively – of his theme, having told his tale in an easily digestible, entertaining way, using all of the dramatic tools at his disposal.”—Graham Hicks, hicksbiz.com

“With Bells On is flat-out wonderful.”—Stephen hunt, Calgary Herald

“I’m still laughing after seeing With Bells On last night at the Red Barn Theatre, truly one of the funniest plays I’ve seen in a long time.”—Joanna Brady, KONK Life Key West

“Hagen has the gift of gab. And he tells us a bizarre, humane story in extravagant, mock heroic, hothouse language that seems as right as red lipstick for the occasion. Unmissable.”—Liz Nicholls, Edmonton Journal
