Actress Nicole duFrense was murdered shortly after the final performance of Ashes. We remember her fondly and with deep respect for her talent and spirit. We are all glad that we had the good fortune of getting to know Nicole.

The following is an excerpt from the November 11, 2004 BroadwayWorld.com review of Ashes by Amanda Scarpone:

"The Milk Can Theatre Company’s production of Ashes deserves a big 'bravo' and a longer performance run. Squeezed into a very short 2 and a half week schedule, Ashes delivers Arthur Miller like drama...ML Kinney did a brilliant job in the composition of the script. The humor is parallel to Quentin Tarantino's where it is just raw enough and over the top enough to make you laugh despite the situation....[The play] is poignant yet humorous, and carries a dynamite cast with an identifiable message - a credit to all involved in the production. The Milk Can Theatre Company should definitely be proud of this one."
