    A strong piece of social justice type of theatre that is both personal and interactive. The characters serve as our tour guides in the play. This play has moments of education but also moments that give those who struggle to wrap their heads around gender identity a slap in the face. This is a play that stands out given its fearlessness and authenticity with bringing fresh voices to the forefront.

    The Divine Alchemists is a fantastically whimsical coming-of-age story that features some of the best-written monologues for queer folx that I've seen in a long time. Fantastic play with plenty of fun for directors and actors alike to play with. Love this play!

    “How is a game with rainbows all over the box one of the straightest games I’ve ever played?” - Iggy, The Divine Alchemists.
    Only the second sentence into the play and I was already hooked. Dismantling gender roles injected with humor, mixed with a splash of magical realism (3 words: Misgender Deflection Remote). Reflections and realizations cement this group of young together while they dissect perspectives. “The Divine Alchemists” is an incredible modern coming-of-age tale, recommend to any college theatre program searching for inclusive, fresh stories to tell!

    From snappy, terrible-pun-filled dialogue and incisive conversation to great dances of imagination that engage wholly with the medium of theatre and its ability for transformation, Fields has crafted an amazing one act that, given the state of the America at the moment, is more important than ever. Coming out as anything is complicated and stressful, but finding our ways to our true selves, transmuting friends into family, it, like this show, brings magic. Very well done.

    This play truly is a work of art. It offers such a spirited, fun, and creative outlet to explore our relationship to gender, ourselves, the world around us, and what it means to truly find acceptance. We get to join a found family as they celebrate Aerith coming into her own and the power of social alchemy. Truly, this is a magical peace that explores all these themes and more and should be required reading for any ally and also offers an incredible opportunity for those performers in the LQBTQIA+ community.

    Divine Alchemists captures the authenticity of dialogue among the current generation of gender nonconformists, presenting our issues in a realistically positive and enjoyable light. I recommend this play to anyone, from those who see gender as 1s and 0s, to those who are devising new mathematical theories on how to describe gender.
