    Schilling takes us through the ins of the immigration system in the United States with such relatable wit blended with all the facts of the process.The saying goes, you can't get anyone to think about something without laughing at it first, and Renee does exactly that with this short, powerful play.

    Timely. A fascinating and frustrating look at something insanely broken. They say there's truth in comedy, and this is one of the most truthful pieces out there.

    Schilling writes an all too plausible, Twilight-Zoned fun house ride that uses an actual immigration form as it’s foundation. I saw this performed at the Borderlight Fringe Festival in Cleveland earlier this year and it was both charming and alarming at the same time.
