    How does so much happen in such a short time? Devastating, redemptive, thought-provoking. A look at how we show up (and don't show up) for our friends and what that says about us.

    Timely, painful, and incredibly realistic. This play captures the nuance often lacking in discussions of sexual assault, for all parties involved. The characters and dialogue are so real, I feel like I know all of them personally. This play is challenging in the best way possible and should be required reading and watching.

    An incredible mix of highly theatrical and painfully realistic. The audience gets sucked into Amethyst's antics as easily as the other characters, giving us a terrifying view into the development of a cult. The characters would all be a blast to play for any actor and I'm dying to see someone design the studio. There is so much to this play, I can hardly say enough. Each watch or view would highlight something completely different and spawn new conversation about how the self relates to others.

    Saw a reading at the Valdez Theatre Conference and can only describe that play as incredibly joyful! A delightful romp that tackled big questions of womanhood, feminism, and friendship all with hilarious dialogue and delightful staging. It would be a joy to work on in any capacity, and I can't wait to see it produced someday.

    I saw a reading of this at the Valdez Theatre Conference and I can't say enough about it. The first word that came to mind was harrowing and the second was beautiful. It did such an incredible job capturing emotional abuse and there are lines that haven't left my mind since. I can only imagine how stunning is would be to watch a staged version but even a reading brought me tears and hope.

    I can't stop thinking about this play. I read it a few weeks ago and it continues to haunt and delight me. The characters are so three dimensional. She does such a wonderful job of writing trans characters that feel trans but are also relatable to a cis audience, which is a challenge. I desperately hope to see if produced soon!
