A rip-roaring, unrelenting. much needed recontextualization of a significant moment in our young nation. Beautiful at its best and hideous at its worst-- this play demands to be heard from start to finish.

Ellis' two aging actresses are beautifully nuanced and genuinely funny as they navigate their old grudge and reconcile and old friendship. This feel-good comedy provides two awesome roles for middle-aged women and a very unique take on our romanticized concept of stardom.

The mark of a good period piece is that it retains its relevance in our modern world. Paper Dream excels in this area. With beautifully developed characters, an engaging plot, and a well-researched historical and cultural context, this is definitely a story worth telling. History buffs and those with an interest in social justice will find this very worthwhile!

After seeing ACCOMMODATION read by Ignition Arts, my mind was absolutely buzzing with questions, none of which have easy answers. Burdick has done a beautiful job starting a conversation about the way our education system overlooks individual human beings-- students and teachers!-- for the sake of appearances and test scores. This play is deliciously infuriating and thought-provoking, and of interest to anyone who has recently encountered the education system in any way!

Smith has a tactful and exciting way of bringing fresh humanity to two prolific historical figures. Her imagery is lovely, the relationship between the two women is endearing and heart-wrenching, and overall the script takes you on as many highs and lows as Amelia Earhart's airplane. A sincere, well-researched gem of a ten-minute play!
