“...I hope women will give themselves permission to be honest about their needs and speak up. We all must engage in healthy, empathetic dialogue in order to heal the toxic gender dynamics we've inherited." —@MeganOrt

@MeganOrt: “I believe The Yellow Wallpaper will inspire all viewers, regardless of age or gender, to join in the conversation about women’s issues. I hope men will leave this play and think more intentionally about how they speak and listen to women...”

“...To be involved in a project that focuses on the female psyche, with a female author of the source material and a female creative team (@C_Ort_official and @MeganOrt) for the adaptation, is extremely exciting and powerful for me...”

“I first read The Yellow Wallpaper when I was 19...I was profoundly moved and disturbed by Gilman's story, particularly the imagery in her language and the pervasive feminist themes...I couldn't imagine how controversial it must have been when originally published...”

“Just as the role of the oppressor is harmful, so too is the role of the woman who stands by and does nothing to help her fellow women. I hope this play encourages women to give themselves and their fellow women the permission to speak up for what they feel they need.”

“This play sparks a conversation about women’s relationships to one another. For decades we have been conditioned to view each other as threats. The Yellow Wallpaper reminds us that only when we choose to support one another will we succeed.” - @clarisefearn
