    This play made me pretty nostalgic thinking about my time in high school theatre. I love that the theme isn’t just about the high school experience itself, but that it takes place in a theatre as well. As a director, I can see this being produced with little to no set (since the theatre is the set). I love that it opens and closes with reference to the ghost light. Something about that really spoke to me.

    This is a wonderful breath of fresh air in the fantastical world of princesses and knights. I'm so tired of the damsel in distress narrative. This is not it. May all princesses be as strong as this one.

    This play is so fascinating. We live in a world right now where it is often hard to separate our real lives from our digital lives. Although we may not all be involved with online gaming like the characters in this play, this play is very relatable for anyone with any kind of online presence. I saw myself in this script as someone who is very present on social media. We don't need to cut out the digital from our lives, but this play reminds me of the importance of staying anchored in reality too.
