“Lilac Co is disturbing and funny.” Dan Fox (Frieze Magazine)

“The first show of Lilac Co I saw—An Othello Thing—completely blew my mind, I thought it was one of the greatest things I had seen.” Nova Benway (Triangle Arts, Dumbo)

“Drawing from the hermetic expressionism of Agnes Martin, Gertrude Stein, Samuel Beckett, and others, Lilac creates not merely physical spaces, but imaginary, emotional, and intellective states an audience passes through.” Thom Donovan, The Brooklyn Rail

“The real shit, recalls the best of Jack Smith.” Mark Russell (The Public Theatre)
