"This smart, provocative play deserves to go on to be produced in as many U.S. cities as are on the map"

"It's interactive, fun and darkly comic. The ensemble is unnervingly believable, hosts and hopefuls alike. And, although we are ostensibly watching the competitors, it's actually we who are under scrutiny."

"American Dreams offered more than smart performances, whiz-bang visuals, ripped-from-the-headlines subject matter, and clever, cheeky packaging. Never shrill or preachy, “American Dreams” engaged our heads and hearts, asking us to confront a thorny problem only the most disingenuous pundits and politicians promise has an easy fix."

"Isam Zaiem, an American Dreams audience member and himself an immigrant, confessed that he didn’t realize how difficult it would be to make a decision. “How do you choose which of the three applicants should have the opportunity to become an American citizen?"

“If a good play should make you think about an issue and make you a bit uncomfortable about your preconceived notions, then American Dreams does the job.”

The Stage Directors and Choreographers Society honored American Dreams, as one of the top 10 achievements in the American theatre for diversity and inclusion.

“It is involvement theater at its best.”

After just two public readings in LaGuardia Performing Arts Centers Rough Draft Festival, American Dreams​ landed on the Kilroy's Honorable Mention list.
