Reviews

The New Normal Trilogy perfectly captures how fear has radicalized and ramped up racism and changed the culture of our society. While things will never be the same, hopefully we'll remember the kind of community that is us at our best. Great work! 

Cheryl Bear
NEW PLAY EXCHANGE

Shelter is chockablock with forceful and sometimes violent scenes as it unravels the tale of a vulnerable young woman driven to commit a desperate act ...

Parrillo writes strong stuff and deserves every encouragement.

Nels Nelson
THE PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS

Parrillo shows an understanding of people on society's underside and of how they talk. She also demonstartes that she can write dialogue and present situations theatrically.
