  • Nick Malakhow: Nomad Motel

    A complex and gorgeous examination of two infinitely compelling characters (everyone in the piece is well drawn, though I'm specifically referring to Mason and Alix). Carla so wonderfully brings together these two characters with both parallel and intersecting experiences of family, home, and identity, and clocks these subtle but propulsive seismic shifts in their relationship and their senses of themselves. The use of transitory spaces and the juxtaposition of expansive emptiness and cramped claustrophobia is so interesting from a design perspective. I hope to see many theaters and bodies...

  • Molly Ross: Nomad Motel

    A wonderfully unique story, Ching captures the truth of these teenager's struggles with the whole world seemingly against them. This play piqued my interest and brought me into a world I had never looked into. Profound moments throughout this play pulled me in even more and I craved to know more about the lives and struggles of parachute and motel kids, and a beautiful yet surprising ending stayed with me long after it was over.
