  • Jason Loewith: I and You by Lauren Gunderson
    “

    I can't recommend Lauren's I AND YOU highly enough. We produced it at Olney Theatre Center in the spring of 2014 and I received endlessly gushing emails from patrons about how strongly it touched them. It deserves to be produced all over the country and the world.

  • Laura A. Brueckner: I and You by Lauren Gunderson
    “

    Gunderson has skillfully crafted an unexpected, charming, moving story of love and acceptance told through the lens of two teenagers, who on the surface couldn't be more different, coming together over a reluctant love of Walt Whitman and sharing of jazz, Jerry Lee Lewis and waffle fries. Audiences will weep over this beautifully human story.

    Of all the productions during my Olney Theatre Center dramaturgy apprenticeship, Lauren Gunderson's tender, intimate play struck audiences on the most relevant and profound level. The dialogue is refreshing, a clever and fast-paced discovery of language between two smart (but believably so) teenagers. Audiences always stayed for talkbacks, revealing the various, layered ways that the story inspired them. Lauren is also a pure delight to have in the room.
