Press Reviews

"A nuanced, uncomfortably intimate script with the curb appeal of Starlight Express."
— The Pitch

"[Marilyn/God] adeptly dissects both Marilyn’s privilege as a Hollywood megastar, the searingly felt trials of her lost loves, and her descent into drug abuse."
— Artist Review Kansas City

"A one-act psychological melodrama with dashes of dark comedy that histrionically, but ably, explores the destructive nature of fame."
— Kansas City Star

"This is wonderful material for a director, because you are not trapped by realism. Anything can happen."
— director Branden McCall
