    I first heard this play aloud at a reading at Egg and Spoon theatre in Brooklyn like two or three years ago and I didn't know lily and I didn't know what was going on but it was so incredible I kept thinking about it and thinking about it and now I am directing a production of it in Pittsburgh and I am so happy. I don't think there's another play out there that is doing what this play is doing.

    The community of National Committee readers for the 46th Bay Area Playwrights Festival advanced MY EYES ARE UP HERE HONEY as a Semi-Finalist at Playwrights Foundation. We were highly engaged by the way these three characters struggled to navigate their relationships outside and inside the virtual world, and the stresses of the virtual world on bodies. We appreciated in this non-linear play the themes of queerness, self, loneliness, corporate manipulation, voyeurism, and multiple realities. We hope this play is considered for further development and investigation, and finds dedicated...

    Lily's unique voice is like no other. The playwright creates a world that will make you question intamacy and vulnerability within a digital age. This play is nothing like anything I've read or seen before. Can't wait to see where this play goes. A great play by a great writer.

    Oh older folx, listen with open hearts and ears and let yourself learn. This lovely and heartbreaking piece about love, gender and the barriers between us can open your mind to understanding. It's also beautifully wrought and written and lily's is a unique and important voice.

    If we are learning anything about our current times it is about our relationships to screens and how we can foster relationships through them. I love how gonzales explores that while also looking at issues in the world of sex work. Endless dialogue will come from this play about the new ground it breaks with both form and content.

    Sensual and tender, gonzales explores the blur between our physical and digital selves—which aren't very different after all, for some of us. my eyes are up here honey is about our desire to love, be loved, and feel loved.
