Charm by Philip Dawkins
Mixed Blood Theatre 2016
“It is humanity, passion and life that practically radiate from Mixed Blood Theatre’s production of 'Charm.'" "Gorlin has done such a fine job of ensemble-building..." "...Behavior that registers as authentic and deeply felt..." "Watching the vibrant young actors do their things in “Charm” is exciting..." - Chris Hewitt, Pioneer Press
"Mixed Blood's production is the first to include five transgender actors in the cast, which lends an air of poignant authenticity to this moving, funny, and at times difficult story." “Addie Gorlin's direction is an exercise in organized chaos...This cast really works well together and have developed an obvious trust in each other." "Kudos once again to Mixed Blood Theater for their fierce dedication to diversity and inclusiveness ..." - Jill Schafer, Cherry and Spoon
"... Director Addie Gorlin is well aware of these issues, and I’ve known her as an ally to a number of marginalized communities for quite some time. Her direction leads this show the right way, giving us lots to talk about and lots of trans artists to rave about for days... A really nuanced piece of reality that many not in a queer community would be unaware of..." - Cassandra Snow, The Column

I and You by Lauren Gunderson
Phoenix Theater 2015
"A truly terrific job, the performances were nuanced and rich, surprising and moving." - Peter Brosius (Artistic Director of Children's Theater Company)
"This is no 'high school play.' This is professional production with two of the most talented actors I've seen in the Twin Cities over the past 10 years-who just happen to be teenagers. Honestly, it was hard to believe they were acting at all." - Claire Avitabile (Artistic Director of 20% Theater Company)
This was the first production where teens were cast and the first production where the races of the characters were switched. A huge confirmation of this story. Thank you and those talented teens! - Lauren Gunderson
