- Cheryl Bear:7 Mar. 2021“ A heartfelt play about friendship, growing up and not allowing the world to separate us from each other. A gripping adventure! ”
- G. Victoria Campbell:24 Feb. 2021“ I'm a brand new playwright struggling through my own script about climate change and read Rain and Zoe to see how it's done! It's so hard to portray a political / social message without coming off as preachy, and Crystal did so stunningly. I felt for the characters--their wants, their goals, and couldn't put the script down. Funny, witty, gripping, impactful. ”
- Audrey Lang:15 Feb. 2021“ "Rain and Zoe Save the World" is an inspiring play that is hopeful amidst hopeless circumstances. As focused as it may be on the two title characters and their stories, both together and apart, its world is expansive and exciting. As a piece about global warming and the politicization of science, I appreciate how well those themes are woven into the emotional arc - as a reader, I emerge with an awareness of the gravity of the situation and an impetus to make change, but not at the cost of a deeply moving story. ”
