Press Reviews

"The train-of-thought flow of Skillman's language finds a comfortable home inside the charged monotone of her characters' voices. It's not often that a theatergoer has the opportunity to observe as an actor tears into the subconscious of a character. It's not an experience one is likely to forget."
