Press Reviews

"CREATING CLAIRE soberly considers the missing link between faith and science…DiPietro's compact, neatly-crafted drama focuses more on Claire's growing faith and its effect upon her marriage than upon hotly debating the issues.“ —Variety. ”[A]wfully well done…“ —The New York Times. ”Joe DiPietro has approached the controversial subject of creationism versus evolution in his engrossing and provocative play…DiPietro has a good grip on the spiritual, emotional and psychological factors that determine our choices and beliefs."
