    “

    The fraught relationship between science and religion is certainly nothing new to the theatre but this is such a fresh take on that theme. Huge questions are being asked in this play is at its heart a character study of two women that had a strong bond as children but went in different directions as adults. This play shows that people of science and faith are complimentary of each other and have so many similarities. The way this play is structured between locations and time is absolutely brilliant. PRODUCE THIS PLAY!!!

    I had the incredible pleasure of seeing a staged reading of To Saints and Stars recently. I do not cry easily, especially in public. The relationship between two best friends, separated by unbearable distance, is brought to life with such great honesty and heart, by the end of the play I had tears streaming down my face. This play centers two women in professions we don't often have the fortune to see onstage, and is a beautiful, poetic, raw, and vastly smart exploration of science and faith.

    I read this play in a coffee shop and was so moved by the power of the language and craft that I ended up crying in public. It was worth it. It's like if Romeo & Juliet were about a platonic life-long friendship - but with a much more interesting ending.

    A must read for people who have had a childhood friend (or any friend), who enjoy compelling, nuanced women, and/or who feel that either science or religion doesn't get the respect it deserves. I would love to see this play produced.

    I am absolutely stunned by the beauty and construction of this piece. Ramirez Puckett explores not only questions of faith and science in this incredible play, but also of sisterhood, chosen family, abandoned culture, and what it means to accomplish unimaginable goals. I truly cannot wait for others to discover To Saints and Stars. It will go far, just wait and see.

    A lovely exploration of the lifelong friendship between two determined women. Their respective points of view are strong, making their moments of contention suspenseful but also heartbreaking. While religion versus science may be up for debate forever, Puckett skillfully shows how they not only co-exist but are co-dependent. However, what is not debatable is the need for friendship and sisterhood; Puckett shows they necessary for Zoe and Sofía's survival.

    A play that carefully weaves faith, science, and technology while being a platonic-romance. Any theatre would be happy to bring this
