"Good, character-driven theater can make an audience look at itself and examine who they are and how they live. Buddyhood, a play about a lifelong friendship between two very different men, is one of those plays."

"Paxton's original comedy-drama Buddyhood takes the audience through the hilarious ups and serious downs of a lifelong friendship between two Lowcountry men."

"Buddyhood explores the hilarity and the depth of character found in friendship. The play uses humor and wit to address issues of race and diversity."

"Women have Steel Magnolias, a story of friendship through the years, one strong enough to sustain its members through hardship, a bond that keeps its members laughing, sometimes through tears, and always offers a willing shoulder to cry on. Thanks to Greg Paxton, there is now a compatible play for men."

"The storyline of Buddyhood engages the audience with insightful reflection about friendship with its blessings and challenges and ultimately through the character development and writing style delivers a message of unity among human beings."

"Thematically, the play had great appeal to a diverse audience, being funny, nostalgic, timely, and substantive. The differences between the two characters are profound and significant, making their friendship all the more unique and poignant. It is reminiscent of The Odd Couple without the obvious play for laughs or the one-dimensional conflict. In simple language, complex issues of racial, economic, sociologic, and emotional differences are mined, resolutions found, and greater understanding reached. The satisfaction for the audience is felt in the completion of the characters' life cycles. Staying true to the influences that shaped them, their character growth is both believable and touching."
