"Raw, revealing, funny and poignant – "Underground Railroad Game" is hands-down the best piece I've seen in the Fringe Festival this year and in many years." - WHYY
"Three years ago, Sheppard was completing his Pig Iron studies and created a great Fringe show, 'Hackles,' with his company Groundswell. Now they're called Lightning Rod Special and are a huge hit in the Curated Fringe. It's a great story that's really only just beginning." - CityPaper
"A complex performance from two gifted co-creators." - Phindie
"Underground Railroad Game is an outrageous and hilarious show, a play that explores race relations through the prism of a pair of middle school teachers – a black woman and a white man – who begin an after-hours romance while teaching their students about the Civil War. Think they can just ignore centuries worth of struggles, strife and stereotypes? After all, we’re in a post-racial America now, right? Yeah, right. Don’t bet on it." - 5/5 Stars - DC Metro Theater Arts
