- FLEX by31 Aug. 2021“ Brilliant, beautiful examination of the lives of young black women who play basketball in their high school in rural Arkansas. The language is realistic and lyrical at the same time. Superb physical theatre as well, and since it's structured like a game, and the characters are so well drawn you can't help rooting for them. Even when they do things they regret. One of my favorite new plays this year. ”
- THE REVOLUTION OF EVELYN SERRANO (or, Nochebuena with the Young Lords) by9 Aug. 2021“ Beautiful, fierce, poetic, historical. The exploration of heritage and history is so powerful, and so needed. ”
- Eighty-Seven Keys (a monologue) by24 May. 2021“ A gorgeous, personal heartfelt and heartbreaking tribute to a much loved artist. This piece will move you to tears.
Honored to be able to present this in Breath Of Fire's "The Covid Monologues" ” - I Kissed Chavela Vargas by17 May. 2021“ So good! Chock full of great roles for older women, this hilarious story is about 3 generations of Latinx women, NONE of whom sit around stirring menudo. They are cabaret singers, lovers, lesbians. Older Rosa needs to be taken care of by her daughter Petra until circumstances change. Young Blue discovers herself, while Rosa and Petra discover different kinds of love. There's music, mastrubation jokes, and of course Chavela Vargas! Orale! ”
- Runtime Error by14 May. 2021“ Intense, vivid and moving, Runtime Error brings the topic of male sexual assault to the forefront. The clever use of coding parallels the way the victim sees or doesn't see his story, his victim hood, his error. The reading at Transformation Theatre was powerful. The live version will be even more so. ”

- my eyes are up here honey by3 Mar. 2021“ Oh older folx, listen with open hearts and ears and let yourself learn. This lovely and heartbreaking piece about love, gender and the barriers between us can open your mind to understanding. It's also beautifully wrought and written and lily's is a unique and important voice. ”
- Gut Punch by3 Mar. 2021“ Gut punch will hit you where it hurts: Right in your preconceived notions of who and what are funny. Cancel culture? Nope criticism culture, and if you can't take it then get out of the improv theatre. Funny, wry and oh-so- truthful. ”
