    “ An examination of what love is, brilliantly scrutinized through the stories of the various characters.
    I loved the musicality of the dialogue, along with the imagery woven throughout. ”

    “ A fantastic look at love through a unique lens that shows us where it can take us with humor. Well done. ”

    “ "Show me all the parts of you that you do not love so I know where to begin."

    At once hilarious and earth-shattering, THE ELVIS ADMINISTRATION has a charm that is utterly unique. The musicality and poetry called to mind Charles Mee, but Walters has a voice all her own. She somehow manages to perfectly pair the poignant with the hysterical. With repetition riddled throughout, this play explores the universal vulnerability inherent in loving another creature. ”

    “ This play grabbed me right away with it's bold theatrical visual vocabulary and its memorable characters who speak poetically about heartbreak. Why not put Kim Jong-Il in the middle of a rom-com as he's searching for a South Korean bride at a resort wedding while he's trying to destroy America with nuclear weapons? I was particulary drawn in by Turtle-Man, Crab Girk, and of course, the Elvis Impersonator. The metaphors are rather clear in this irreverent, fun romp. ”
