    “ Stupid Ghost is such a delight every time that I read it. It's subversive in all of the best ways, and constantly challenges me to reexamine my understanding of depression and grief as we both lose and discover parts of ourselves. One of my favorite's to come back to again and again. ”

    “ Ghosts are the worst, right? Savannah mixes humor, and supernatural with a coming-of-age story. The Poltergeist is such agent of chaos that made the whole play an interesting read. It's is wonderful that this play about truly feeling and discovery exists. ”

    “ "Stupid Ghost" is great. Our narrator ghost teaches us a little about ghosts and assures us that ghosts would never hurt us and don't follow people - but then our narrator meets a very pretty girl. And her very pretty boyfriend. And, well... The dialogue in this play is hilarious and the whole thing is fast-paced and pure entertainment. Weird and wonderful. ”

    “ Ghosts. They’re everywhere. They’re watching you. And maybe they want to be watched, too. Part fable, part horror story, part love story, Reich spins you a tale of wanting to be noticed. Craving a little attention is harmless, right? As Ghost’s seemingly benign needs start to spiral out of control, you are in a quandary - do you root for the humans or the ghosts? A very funny, original look on growing up, being present, and taking care with your ghosts. ”

    “ There's a lot to love in this funny, tender play about being seen and feeling alive. STUPID GHOST is a play to read and reread -- it's hilarious and so fast-paced that you'll be dying to find out how it ends; but it also invites deeper, slower consideration about what it means to be alive, what it means to move on from the ghosts of lives we've abandoned, what it means to really see another soul. Totally charming. Totally wonderful. ”

    “ A piercing, moving play about the pain of going unnoticed and the lengths we will go to for recognition. Stupid Ghost is witty, tender, and very human--not to mention really funny. A great ride for actors and audience alike! ”

    “ This is a truly exciting piece of theater about the desire to really be seen by someone. It's a very funny show, and has moments of real sweetness and heartache in the midst of horror and melodrama. Lovable characters spiral wildly out of control in an entertaining and brutal way that is fascinating to witness. ”
