    Press Quotes

    “Adam Seidel’s … promising ORIGINAL SOUND, the rare new play that pays attention to how the modern pop-culture sausage is made.” —Elisabeth Vincentelli, The New York Times

    “ORIGINAL SOUND [is] a cautionary tale of what happens when we justify our every move with motivated reasoning — adapting all reasoning of our actions to meet our needs. It is the play that resonates our time now in history.” —Holli Harms, The Front Row Center

    “Adam Seidel’s enthralling new play casts doubt on the notion that such laws exist to protect artists, dampening the intellectual property echo chamber with a wall of soundproofing foam and a great story.” —Zachary Stewart, TheaterMania
