"The character feels so real, and this production gets you inside their head. That’s rare...Wallace’s direction leaves you no place to hide. You’re not a passive spectator. You’re in the show." The Observer
"Amber McNew makes you question everything you may think you know about gender identity in one of the most riveting and involving performances I’ve seen in quite a while...Under the sensitive, well-paced direction of Summer Wallace." Herald Tribune
"both writing and acting, with the assistance of masterful direction, converge in this ground-breaking and necessary piece of stagecraft." Bradenton Times
"Scorch packs a big punch in iust 60 Minutes…(Mcnew) and director Summer Wallace have also achieved a fine balance between the humor and the horror in Gregg’s play; It’s a remarkable performance, all the more so for fitting into an hour-long show tightly packed with emotions and discovery" .
