    “ As an art nerd, I was thrilled that this was an honorable mention for the Student Jane Chambers Award. This play is a fantastic ensemble piece that would be a dynamic acting challenge for college-aged women and would also provide an intriguing design challenge. I fantasize about what the Hystoracle would look like! ”
