"If Lily Tomlin and Anna Deavere Smith were to merge their talents, the result might be something like Eliza Jane Schneider’s Freedom of Speech, a dramatic tour of America and also a tour de force… A wondrous harmony of American voices pouring from a one-woman choir." - Adam Feldman, Broadway.com

"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
