    I love that this show is a story about how female creativity can change the world. This story is a perfect example of how getting different voices and perspectives in the room can benefit everyone. How long had male scientists been working, unquestioningly, in labs like this with these pregnancy tests? All it took was one woman – one artist – to walk into that same lab and look at those same tests.

    Predictor grabs you from the very first page and refuses to let you go until the very last line. Heart-wrenching, and tragically more relevant than many of us would like to admit, the real life story of Meg Crane translates beautifully to the stage with Blackmer's careful hand guiding it. Truly a captivating experience to read, and an even better one to see on stage.

    Wow. This fast paced, comedically historical play will draw you in with its goofy game show beginning and hold you tight through the intense frustration of feminism and politics of the USA in the 1960s and earlier. But really, this isn't a play about feminism. I see it as a play about logic and great ideas being ignored or scoffed at because they aren't how "we always do things." The subject of this this play is just as important now as when it was being "conceived" in the 60s. This is a must see show!
