Press for It’s True It’s True It’s True
“Emily Anderson can move, with utter authenticity, from quiet despair to rage.” — Bay City News
“Emily Anderson shines throughout this production […] when Artemisia repeats the phrase “it is true” over and over again, we can feel her pain.” — Broadway World
“…played with subtle dignity, then growing force, by Emily Anderson” — Pacific Sun
for Doomers
“Emily Anderson superbly plays Alina, the ethicist with the heart and soul that Seth lacks. She’s up against the arrogance of a tech elite that plans to control the future…” — Theatrius
“Alina (an excellent Emily Anderson), MindMesh's chief safety officer, feels the weight of the technology's risk, recounting vivid dreams that illustrate her terror of what's being created.” — SF Gate
