Denver Post theater critic John Moore writes about the Countdown to Zero theater company’s staging of My Name is Rachel Corrie, with interviews of the actress and Corrie family as he reports on a unique take on the play: “Countdown to Zero, the closest thing to an experimental company to stage the play to date, made several artistic choices the Corries had never seen before: A set made primarily of sand. Certain passages treated as almost musical departures. The actor playing their daughter also reading the epilogue about her death.”

Susan Stein reviews the production of  the Humboldt State University Van Duzer Theatre production of My Name is Rachel Corrie for the Arcata Eye in Arcata, CA.:

“Whatever one’s perspective on the Israelis and Palestinians, Rachel Corrie makes a completely human entrance on the scene. As we glimpse her through her journals and letters in My Name is Rachel Corrie, the 23-year-old college student activist lives with Palestinians and works in support of their self-determination, and seems purely to hold nothing against Jewish Israelis, whom she refers to with compassion.”
