- Good Enough (In Development) by18 Feb. 2019“ The Rosie girls of the Gibson guitar factory suffer the war in their own ways. I loved being introduced to the world of guitar-making, which provided a textured backdrop for this alternately sweet and sad tale of love, loss, circumstance, and empowerment. A great ensemble piece for six women! ”
- Rocket Sex Magic by18 Feb. 2019“ All that is commonplace and accepted now was once unproven and beyond belief. Here, White deftly--and with great humor and theatricality--juxtaposes all that fell into that category in the pre-moon landing days with what defies belief and acceptance in today's world. And then he reminds us that it's been fifty years since the moon landing, and we're still still unwilling to think beyond what we know. ”
