    “ Jarred Corona’s SPOTTING THERMALS is a gritty procedural a la True Detective or The Fall, complete with dark twists and turns and suffused with poetry. More typically seen on the screen, I think this kind of story would come alive incredibly on the stage, and can only imagine how the tension will build in a live audience. A great read that I’d love to see up on its feet! ”

    “ This is such a deep, dark thriller. It reminds me of the thrillers I used to watch in my college days and loved. The characters are all so distinct and there are roles for so many great actors. This is a play that will totally be the talk of your season! ”

    “ A truly epic play with some very sharp dialogue! As a fellow Savannah writer I find it fabulous that I have a Detective Ellis as well, I named mine after two squares. This play is a terse thriller with a satisfying climax. Looking forward to reading more of Corona’s works! ”
