    "Billie" is a beautiful multigenerational love story that centers on a Native American family in Oklahoma. The play uses multiple timelines to great effect and shows how the love of one's family can be transformative and carry individuals through difficult times. I loved reading this and can't wait to see a full production!

    BILLIE is everything you want in a love story: sensuality, confidence, grief, humor, self acceptance. It's a beautiful example of a play's capacity to choose intentional windows of time to bring to life that provide larger context for lives fully lived. Can't wait to read the rest of the Oklahoma cycle!

    I really, really loved this play. I loved how Moses refuses to drown her play in trauma and pain. She tells an authentic story of her culture that defies stereotypes and tropes. The way these love stories flow into each other across time was absolutely brilliant. Moses masterfully keeps all these timelines distinct while also finding ways to blend them together. I loved that this is also a beautiful queer love story that is told with such care and nuance. These are such rich roles for Native actors.

    This play tells three love stories over three timelines and you might think you’ve seen a play like this before, but you have not! From the seamless transitions to the trueisms about life, this play is as relatable as it is unexpected. And trust that it’s unexpected at every turn, especially the end which… well, you’ll see! Expertly crafted, uniquely American, and heartbreakingly honest, this play is everything the modern theatre both wants and needs.

    Moses' Oklahoma Cycle concludes (for now) with this intricately constructed love story, spanning four timelines and three Billies. A play where years of relationships can be understood in a few words, where all characters struggle with choosing between the life they know and the life that could be. Funny and fast, building to a breathtaking finale, the play's fluid timeline and high theatricality make for an unforgettable watch.
