    “ Imaginative theatricality, poetry, and theme-blending that nails the ending, the trickiest part. Bravo! Full of impossible-to-stage stage directions that make me yearn for the magic. ”

    “ Gina was working on this play while we were in a writer's group together. It was such a joy getting to see the story develop over the year. The piece Gina has crafted is at the same time heart wrenching, horrifying, beautiful, and so so deeply human. It's about impossible situations and being rescued by our dreams. ”

    “ A beautiful piece of Magical realism set in the unforgiving world of New York City. Gina has a way with words in which you are automatically charmed by her characters, even when they less desirable as beings. This play is funny to the point that it keeps you from crying, an endearing to the point that the things that happen to the characters affect you as much. Highly recommended ”
