Published Reviews

"90 minutes of snide, jittery enjoyment. A pull-no-punches indictment of the increasingly dissolute lives of college students."

Centerstage Chicago

"Tightly wound!... Jacqmin uses this tense setup to explore uncomfortable truths about the ways race and class play out in top-tier schools... [Her characters are] multifaceted, sympathetic young adults embodied by a dead-on cast."
