REVELATIONS was a finalist in the play division for the Del Shores Foundation Writer’s Search for 2023

“ The first thing that struck me about this piece was the wonderfully powerful imagery, both religious and in the creation of the images the writer puts in your head. As you listen to the characters talk about what they saw and did I could see it in my mind, and that continued throughout. To inspire this kind of visualisation purely from reading is a great skill. This power continues in both imagery and dialogue as you are presented with a story that you will need to know how it unfolds. For me this was a great example of story telling. ” —Rachel Feeny-WIliams

"An incredible work. Theology, philosophy, psychology, and more being explored. Smoot perhaps dances back and forth during the individual scenes between those areas but man, does each scene end with a harsh uppercut. Or a body blow that drives the wind from you as you realize the impact of what is being said. This is the type of play that made me sit in quiet contemplation for quite a few moments after finishing it. It absolutely needs to be produced, not only because it's an excellent play but also because of the message it can leave with its audience." —Brent Alles

“ INCREDIBLE WORK, from the very, very get-go. "People lose people. I don’t understand why we’re so damned careless." So many amazing lines like this. Extremely memorable characters, seamless changing of scenes, and incredibly deserving of being widely produced. ” —Jonny Bolduc
