    A truly great American play. A reminder that we are stronger together, and that you deserve to be here. Warm, like the fire you'd gather round to hear Katherine tell the story.

    Weird kids rise up!

    A lovely grounded play for all of us who were weird animal girls. A little bit of magic, a little bit of terror, and a lot of heart in between.

    Honestly hope I get to produce this someday, because it feels so relevant, so personal, so magical. A little other-worldly while being deeply grounded in material realities.

    A beautiful script! The narrative felt like sitting around a camp fire; sentimental, connected, and mysterious. Well-drawn characters all around. This is a designer's dream show. Cannot wait to see it produced!

    Gwynn's reverent play finds unique parallels across the stories of two communities, protected in one land and hunted in another. Filled with music and queer longing (as all plays should be), it's an expertly paced fable of summer innocence coming to an end – or maybe evolving into something more mature. Rich opportunities for any production company, and well worth the challenge.

    A gorgeous coming of age story and play with music that is both intimate and large in the ways it explores environmental themes.

    A moving story of humanity, isolation and fear as we watch these characters on their journey and the connection they make. Well done.

    Oh my god this play. Simultaneously heartbreaking and heartwarming, "An American Animal" features exciting theatricality, dynamic characters with refreshing humanity, timely themes of American isolation and fear, and genuinely funny/intimate dialogue against a massive Yellowstone landscape. The YA-summer-romance plotline is told with clarity and heart, refreshingly balanced alongside the just-as-swoonworthy nurturing of the wolfpack that Paz, Chloe, and Willa are tracking. This play is so, so special and the ending feels like a gorgeous, queer expansion into the people that the summer allowed...
