“The stage cast of 20 is excellent—energetic, expressive, and completely at ease with the complicated dialogue…Under Ms. Roos’s direction, the actors move, march and fight with precision, bringing a raw and boisterous energy to the stage.” - Evanston Roundtable

“One of the ways in which Roos made the story modern was through her casting, as she made a deliberate effort to cast roles regardless of the character’s traditional gender or race.” - Daily Northwestern

“‘Julius Caesar is about one generation making decisions that the younger generation has to pay for,’ Roos said. ‘I find that important to tell this story with people of different identities, because that’s the way our country looks like right now.’” - Daily Northwestern

“(The transitions) became almost a different story all on its own. The transitions aren’t in the original script by Susanna Centlivre, but were the idea of the show’s director, Danielle Roos… they were able to portray so much emotion and humor without saying a word.” - Middle Tennessee State University Sidelines

PRINCESS CUT - A YOUNG GIRL’S REALITY INSIDE A TENNESSEE SEX RING was written to shed light on a dark, but true, story of a young woman from Knoxville, TN who was forced into a sex trafficking ring at a young age. The play follows the young woman as she replays memories from her childhood and of learning to live a double life as the psychological trauma caught up with her.
