"Elly Green’s direction of an incredible cast of actors took Anna Jordan’s script and brought out every emotion fathomable. I was a wreck leaving the theater." (From New York Times “Your Picks For the Year’s Best” 2019, Rebecca Silbar, Chicago)

“Director Elly Green’s production was among the best productions in this long-established theater’s history, filled with actors offering up risky and uncompromising performances, all encapsulating the work’s central themes of longing and sadness. Beautiful.” -  Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune, Theater top 10 in Chicago 2019

"Yen” is currently enjoying a unstinting little production in the studio space at the Raven Theatre under the dynamic direction of Elly Green... the acting work here is all first-rate and fully capable of inducing shivers of recognition"- Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune

"Fearlessly directed." - Ben Kaye, New City Stage

​"In essence, Yen is a family drama, and Green, along with her powerhouse ensemble, skillfully crafts a piece that brings to frightening life all of the pain within this dynamic." - Lauren Katz, Picture this Post
