Why Are Graham Crackers Hard?
Rachel Bykowski: 20% Theatre Company Literary Manager
"One of the things I loved about this play and Forman's writing was the way the playwright was able to address the hidden fears many women have about intimacy, motherhood, and finding a partner. Forman takes these anxieties and wraps them in a touching, funny, warm story about two women, who find themselves trying to build a home for two younger girls, and help create their own version of family."
Lysistrata
Kerry Reid: Chicago Tribune
"It's powerful stuff, and there's a bit more like that here, including Amanda Forman's formidable turn as the female chorus leader. With bold and sardonic parries, she confronts the soldiers trying to break into the occupied Acropolis — kept out by a pink padlock suggestive of a chastity belt. Forman actually feels more warrior-woman determined than Lysistrata herself..."
"The actors, especially Amanda Forman, exuded a beautiful array of emotions as the hurting Gretchen. Her portrayal deeply affected the other performers as well as the audience."
