SCRIPT SAMPLE
"a rare commentary on our modern political culture that manages to – in an often funny, but also poignant manner – offer a deep reflection of the broader situation" — OnStageBlog.com
"There is light amid dark as the historical and surreal election of 2016 brought these friends to their depths and gave them a way to rise again. Maybe this is a parable for the results of the election? Maybe we are now looking for a way to rise? The Diplomats represents that friendship is greater than politics … or most anything for that matter. Kudos to Diaz-Marcano for his representation of ethnicity and feminism." — Drama Queens Reviews
"Friendships, yes, like politics, make strange bedfellows... magnificent." — Outer Stage Blog
