←Recommendations of North Star

A powerful look at gun violence and the utter loss of trust in the world. Moving and well done.

I had the pleasure of seeing a staged reading of this play at Creede Rep and it absolutely blew me away. Kelly has created two unbelievably vivid worlds and blended them together in a way that is truly breathtaking. It's funny, smart, moving, and absolutely terrifying all at once. I can't wait to see a full production of this play.

North Star is an exciting, theatrical play that deftly blends contemporary challenges (mass shootings, teenage bullying) with myth, magic, history and playfulness. With a robust, mostly female cast and tons of opportunity for creative staging, North Star is a particularly relevant and appealing choice for colleges, universities and progressive high schools.

This play is gorgeous, timely, and timeless. A heart-full exploration of what it means to live in community and the social contracts we make and break. I love this play.

I had the honor of reading a recent draft of this out loud over the weekend. This work flirts with the line between sentimentality and brutality, between heightened fantasy and stark reality. This summer camp will leave you with memories that will last a lifetime.
