Reviews

"...the premiere of Columbus playwright Chris Leyva’s 'Cowgirls Don’t Ride Zebras' is cause for celebration. The gem of a play, nicely structured and genuinely funny, deserves to be picked up by other children’s theaters... the target audience seemed captivated by the humor and constantly changing cast of characters, and the adults were treated to some sly wit on the side." - Columbus Dispatch

"What makes it sing is the natural wit rising out of situations. Leyva has a great ear for how people talk and an even better grasp for setting up an absurd situation and letting it play out without forcing it... The play’s a delightful tribute to enthusiasm and curiosity with some strong laughs for even cynical adults..." - Columbus Underground
