And here's what the critics have to say about Eliza Jane's "ROAD TRIP" -- Winner, 1996 drama Logue Critic's Award, and "USA 911":

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Virtuosic! Schneider’s everymen and everywomen are opinionated, touching, and amazingly diverse. A vivid oral history of American life. The most stunning moment of the show, when Schneider averts the attack of a vicious homeless man with an operatic aria, is pure poetry, a soaring metaphoric counterpoint to the play’s recurrent themes of human desperation and the redemptive powers of art"- Kathleen Foley, L.A. Times

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Amazing . . . wild, audacious, powerful, funny, poignant. The next Lily Tomlin!"- Venice Magazine

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Schneider is an astonishing physical mimic, and eerily adroit at capturing accents and speech patterns from various regions of the country."- L.A. Reader

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Riveting, Brilliant, Dazzling . . . "- Wisconsin State Journal

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Wildly funny! Genuinely poignant. Watch out Anna Deavere Smith, Eliza Schneider just might do your act better than you do!" "- Backstage West
