With “Enough to Let the Light In,” which debuted at Teatro Vista Productions in 2022, and her latest world premiere, “BOTH,” Nozicka demonstrates complete mastery of the best type of stage thriller: those that combine gripping suspense with richly crafted characters, complex family dynamics and sensitive explorations of trauma.” Read the full review here https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5adf53ae2714e52a2591f09e/518240eb-6985-42a7-8c8b-7a5d9d96b895/Both-0122.jpg PLAYS - Praise from Broadway World: “Both is an excitingly chilling premiere.

It also reinforces what a powerful team Nozicka and Verdin make in reimagining what stage thrillers can be.” Read the full review here https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5adf53ae2714e52a2591f09e/9c392224-d3e4-4f76-a409-2b1928632080/Both-0101.jpg PLAYS - Praise from Chicago Stage and Screen: “This is the kind of theatre that makes Chicago an epicenter of the art form.” Read the full review here https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5adf53ae2714e52a2591f09e/2bbe5060-0db7-4407-9a95-4779ea1902bf/Both-0760.jpg PLAYS - Praise from Chicago Theatre Review: “BOTH, a new play by Paloma Nozicka and directed by Georgette Verdin is a sly, creepy and thoroughly entertaining take on grief, belonging, human connection, and truth.
