CRITIC’S PICK! “Celebrates the universe of anime, comics, science fiction, manga and Hollywood effects spectaculars.” – The New York Times
CRITIC’S PICK! “Fly high the freak flag of fantasy... An ode to fangirls and fanboys, the show... celebrates the universe of anime, comics, science fiction, manga and Hollywood effects spectaculars.” – The New York Times
CRITIC’S PICK! “Genuine heart... Crystal Skillman’s script goes beyond the superficial snark and touches on topical issues such as bullying and suicide, without seeming preachy or ripped from the headlines. It’s an honest and often hilarious exploration of the complicated, fantasy-fueled, online world some teens inhabit today.” – Time Out New York
“Geek! is a celebration of the imagination. It revels in a subculture dedicated to living life according to their own rules, and while managing not to poke fun at anyone for enjoying some role play, it actually tells a great story about how we relate to the world and to those closest to us. The dialogue is screwball comedy fast and as sharp-tongued as can be. Skillman is a master of wit and character who knows the value of fast action and the honor of good versus evil.” – nytheatre.com
“Using a bit of Crystal Skillman's patented slang, [Geek!] is ‘amazeballs!’” – Qui Nguyen, author of She Kills Monsters
