←Recommendations of To Saints and Stars

Mirrorbox Theatre read this in May of 2021 as part of our Out the Box series. Like all great sci-fi scripts (and no doubt this script is great) it has much more to do with the here-and-now than any flights of fantasy. The very detailed character studies, particularly between the female best friends are deeply touching and never saccharine. We were particularly surprised to see a play that centers its questions of faith in a tradition explored less frequently on American stages, and in ways that felt very believable and never sensationalized. Highly recommended!

A beautiful, smart, and moving piece that highlights the adventure in both exploring the solar system and building a family. Though the play contains profound insights into friendship, faith, science, and climate crisis, it moves seamlessly from scene to scene and makes for a compelling read. If you don't read this play, you're missing out on a fantastic experience!

A powerful look into friendship and faith as two women follow their mission in the exploration of life. Well done.

I was lucky enough to catch a reading of this beautiful and poetic play at San Diego Rep, and I was awestruck at its examination of faith and science as it pertains to our relationships. Can't wait to see this sci-fi marvel brought to life on stage! I highly recommend.

An inspiring play that attempts to untangle the knot of friendship, family, and core beliefs. The characters of Zoe and Sofia are both forces to be reckoned with as the play reveals not only their goals for careers, religion, and science but their vulnerabilities and secrets that made their friendship more like family.

This beautiful play deals with faith, science and friendship amongst the family you choose. It deftly maneuvers between these themes and manages to be gut wrenching yet also instill hope and faith til the very end. Bravo

Science and faith, old world values and the potential to imagine new ones, so much at stake - the future of the human race - written with great skill and grace. Beautiful work!

Though at its purest a play about faith vs. science, this play is also about what it takes to and how we advance humanity which, in some ways, are thornier questions. Jordan presents it all beautifully through a female lens that aces the Bechdel test while simultaneously showing us how far women have come and how far we still have to go. Stellar (NPI!) work!!

This play is a FINALIST for the 2020-2021 In-Progress New Play Reading Series at Unicorn Theatre in Kansas City, Missouri. It is our pleasure to support TO SIANTS AND STARS.

This is a gorgeous, theatrical, and insightful piece of sci-fi led by compelling characters and excellent world building. In a masterful example of showing vs. telling, Jordan Ramirez Puckett fleshes out a hypothetical future that is clearly rendered through the words and actions of just four eclectic people. Sofia and Zoe are powerful foci, and we see well-paced revelations as we wind back and forth in time and place. Ramirez Puckett explores gender in two totally different fields, faith, and human use and abuse of the planet with subtlety and complexity. The ending moments are astonishing!
