    “ As writers take to the streets demanding for better pay, 'Make it Known' is timely. It is a wonderful call to arms to give voice to the women who have written so many brilliant plays and yet who don't get the recognition they deserve. There's a lovely meta feel to it as well - a woman playwright putting the names of other women playwrights into the mouths of young women. ”

    “ Yes, I love this, all of this. Ignorance to knowledge to action. A young voice calls out education for sidelining minority and female voices of theatre, and ends with fighting for diversity and awareness in curriculum and study. What a clever way to introduce us to Elizabeth Wong. ”

    “ This is awesome. Sally’s teacher is awesome. Sally is awesome. Elisabeth Giffin Speckman is awesome. And it must be said: what makes it all so awesome isn’t just the powerful and important message it conveys, but the high level of execution: idiosyncratic, natural, active, entertaining, urgent, very funny, and with an entire tight dramatic arc, Make It Known hits all the right notes and makes it look easy. Brava. ”
