REVIEWS:

"Fillinger can really tell a story. You can see that she can pack more moment-by-moment tension into a play than most playwrights can manage in their careers."

 Chicago Tribune

"The play is well-made, well-structured, and well-paced to a degree that's rare in a professional debut. And like all great debuts, Faceless will leave you eagerly waiting to see what Fillinger does next."

 Time Out Chicago

"As relevant as the plot is to today's political world, the timeless themes of identity and self-discovery offered here will undoubtedly resonate well past the current president's term."

 New City

"Exceptional. Faceless tells a compelling story that forces us to think about who we label as 'other' [...] You will be talking about this show long after you leave the theatre."
