    I loved the heightened satirical tone of this play, the way it seems to exist just outside of our reality. Reyes does a great job of satirizing the egg freezing industry and its less savory side as a cash grab that preys on vulnerable women under the guise of "have it all" feminism. At the same time, the play acknowledges that these sorts of treatments do serve a purpose and give women more control over their lives and their reproduction. Egg-cellent stuff (sorry I couldn't help it please forgive me).

    This play comes from such a place of passion and provocativeness. I really appreciated the perspective it took on the pressures women (and really, those with child-bearing abilities) face with trying to balance their ambitions and their desire to have a family. I loved getting to know and understand the perspective of each of the characters. More female roles like these please!!

    This play was a treat to work on in our Women's Voices Festival! It is contemporary, full of humor, topical, and has a strong point of view. It is clever and leaves you thinking and laughing. Kristine is a joy to work with too!

    I was in a writing group with Kristine while she was developing Eggs On Ice, and it was such a joy watching this weird and wonderful universe come together. I am excited for more people to see this play. Eggs On Ice works because even as Kristine revels in the absurd hilarity of the fertility industry, she writes her characters in such a human way that you can't help but empathize with their anxieties and desperation.

    As a co-founder of Mission to (dit)Mars, I had the privilege of working with Kristine to develop EGGS ON ICE. It is a timely, feminist, and often hilarious play that examines the pressures of biology, motherhood, and the demands professional women face. It is thought provoking and laugh out loud funny. This play should be produced!
