    I had the good fortune to see a staged reading of Skillman's remarkable play at Oregon Contemporary Theatre. Bringing together humor, grace and a strong, driving pulse — As powerful as that urge you get when you're young and you head off headlong on your first devil-may-care road trip — this story intertwines different perspectives on activism, letting (teenage) Zoe's intention shine through. It's a story about hope, deftly cached in a world that feels, like this one, confusing and raw sometimes. Zoe and Rain really DO save the world. A lovely tribute to community and friendship.

    I'm so happy this play is getting its world premiere, because it's just a stunning piece of theatrical, emotional, and writing excellence. Full or surprises and heart, it just never lets up. Congratulations!

    This is a heart-stopping, theatrical work that will leave you at the edge of your seats. Skillman deftly combines themes of loss and trying to connect with the big picture of respecting our earthly home. She gives us two characters that are spirited, imaginative and deeply immersed in trying to do the right thing even when it goes haywire. A play with great depth touched by earthly sprites. I would dearly love to see this staged.
