Elevator Girl
“
Our readers responded to ELEVATOR GIRL’s sharply imagined world and its use of comedic and comic book genres to explore difficult contemporary issues.”
“
In the stunning ELEVATOR GIRL, Hoke fearlessly takes on more issues than can be counted--rape, consent, body image, "good guys," feminism, misogyny, the patriarchy--but she does it with a feather light touch that later feels like a super-powered punch in the jaw.
This is a play that needs to be performed on a REGULAR BASIS for people of all ages, all genders, and all races.
ELEVATOR GIRL is the kind of play that will receive a standing ovation everywhere it's performed because audiences won't be able to help it--and then they will discuss it deep into the night.”
