“ Starry-Eyed is an ambitious and entertaining play that manages to provide critical commentary on a variety of issues while also investing in the varied ambitions and vulnerabilities of its cast of characters. Blending nuance with calculated caricature, Cameron Noel speaks powerfully to the struggle for Black performers and Black creators to achieve success with integrity and dignity in an industry that frequently denigrates and exploits them, all while telling a story that is alternately poignant and hilarious, uncomfortable and all too real. This play is definitely worth a read! ”
