Welcome To America presented by Prologue Theatre Company at Theater Wit

Chicago Reader - Recommended

"...What she did to her two young children was undeniably horrific, but by putting it in the context of a life of poverty and abuse, this Prologue Theatre Company production asks the audience to question this ultimate punishment. And is it really a punishment? Riggs asks for the death penalty, arguably making the government part of an assisted suicide in this heartbreaking, emotionally messy piece."

Around The Town Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...It’s a great and realistic performance, so much so that I regretted it was only 50 minutes, but it’s heavy stuff and the time goes slowly (in a good way). The script itself is very edgy, particularly the parts about the sexual abuse Riggs experienced as a child and its sympathetic portrayal of her psyche during the horrific (in fact, the horror downplayed) murder of her children and failed suicide attempt. Under the direction of Eli Grove, the technical aspects of this play are particularly affecting."
