    “ An incredibly moving, powerful play that gets to the heart of trauma and the disconnect where it is rooted. Only when that deep pain is voiced, is there hope of recovery. Excellent work. ”

    “ It’s not often we see the one character at multiple different ages played by different actors, let alone two. Amy E. Witting uses this rare choice masterfully, integrating her characters’ memories and their development between multiple time periods to show just how deep their scars run. A heartbreakingly haunting piece, THE HOUSE ON THE HILL is stunning! #PlaywrightPlug ”

    “ A stunning new work by an incredibly talented writer who understands that the underpinning of any tragedy is the love lost, hope abandoned, and struggle to return to everyday life. The writer creates four deeply compelling characters who make us laugh and cry, feel and question our own relationship to our extended family - what does blood mean? how much loyalty is owed family, especially after an unforgivable betrayal? This writer has provided both the enticing mystery of the event combined with a nuanced and rich understanding of the emotional breakage and rebirth of a soul. ”

    “ An extraordinarily affecting play about two women affected differently but in equally devastating ways by a senseless tragedy. The stunning, uplifting ending shows us that it's worth hanging on, no matter what. ”

    “ This play was developed at The National New Play Network MFA Playwrights Workshop. This program, conducted annually in conjunction with The Kennedy Center and the National Center for New Plays, provides a graduate–level student playwright with an NNPN-affiliated director and dramaturg, a professional cast for a week of script development, and an introduction to the Network, its Membership, and programs. ”

    “ Two women try to deal with trauma in their own way. While "the devastating moment" that plagued their relationship appears to be the central conflict, this beautifully moving play reveals the actual tragedy is losing contact with those you love. ”
