    “ Not a single line is wasted in this vivid, brilliant short play- the arc is gripping, the characters whole, and the conversation urgent. In 12 pages, Cato manages to construct a layered world punctuated by hilarious moments. Nothing short of incredible! ”

    “ Thought provoking talk all leading up to the last few powerful moments with the paper/machine malfunction. ”

    “ With characters immediately likable and resonant, Cato builds a world behind the scenes that we all know is all-too real, all-too common. Sharp, funny dialogue underscores the desperation here, the high stakes and mourning for plausible, unreachable futures that neither man can trace, even in imagination, except in his repetitive company with the other. A powerful commentary, finely crafted. Brilliant work. ”

    “ Cato fully renders this bleak reality in bite-sized form without sacrificing an ounce of truth.

    In a mere 12 pages we grow to know, feel, and care for these unfortunate souls as they pave a path to freedom despite the free market's boot firmly planted on their necks. A galaxy divides ideals and action.

    They say a good attitude is all you need. Easy to say when you're due for a transfer. ”

    “ "American Made" packs quite a punch in ten short minutes. Cato gives us two fully realized characters battling the problems they experience while in incarceration. A heartbreaking and important piece. ”

    “ CHRISTIN EVE CATO’s play, “American Made”, is an interesting look at the life of two prisoners and how they attempt to cope in jail. Each wants a better life, but there are obstacles. Can things change for the better? What drives a person in prison to try? ”

    “ AMERICAN MADE takes a conversation about the working conditions in prison and inmate exploitation and creates a portrait of two men attempting to create a better life for themselves in a situation that doesn't offer chances. Christin Eve Cato takes two ends of the spectrum from a debate on how to achieve that better life to the meeting point at the one, most heartbreaking reason men have try to either subvert or conform: his children's welfare. It's a ten-minute packed with all the punch of a full-length. ”
