“The playwright, one of the leading writers for young audiences over the past twenty years (having worked numbers of times with South Coast Rep, La Jolla Playhouse, and others), raved about her direction, calling the production better than most professional ones he’d seen and declaring that he’d like to find a way to work with [Goren]."
