BROWSE MIKKI’S PRESS
“‘Mikki Gillette is one of Portland’s most revolutionary playwrights.”
“Gillette knew almost immediately that Nikki’s story was one she wanted to tell onstage, but it was a priority for her to strike the right balance and to show the full complexity of Nikki’s life.”
“Gillette’s firsthand experience enriches the play’s in-depth portrayal of what occurs in queer youth centers all over the country.”

“Gillette has been on a tear of late, not just with sheer volume of output but reaching new artistic heights. (She) is in her moment.”
“The play dramatizes (Nikki’s) story in a way that doesn’t pull punches.”
