Media

“This piece flows off the page. It is richly imaginative and joyous.” – Roger Danforth, 2002 PCA panel member and Artistic Director of The Drama League, New York City

“Its cinematic sweep, sharp dialogue, wacky comedy, and surprising plot twists and turns captivated kids of all ages. Most impressively, Snow White is a play that deals with genuine ideas and has a deep emotional resonance, while being as adventurous, silly and moving as any great fairy tale should be! Marjorie Sokoloff's voice is fresh, surprising, and honest.” –  Kevin Moriarty, Artistic Director of Hangar Theatre
