REVIEWS
“‘The Trial’ by Jeff Dune hit home [with] a monologue that gave me chills. This trial had my brains swirling trying to think of the blockages that might exist in my life because of emotions like fear or the inability to completely understand or even try to understand things that make me uncomfortable. The play was phenomenal in a way that made me shiver and empathize with all those women exercising their natural abilities and being condemned for it and forced gifted women to operate in secret as opposed to training others to grow in the gifts they obtained.” (Alisa Brock, MD Theatre Guide)
