Coming In Hot
The words of women who served in the U.S. military from Vietnam to the present day, adapted from Powder: writing by women in the ranks from Vietnam to Iraq.
One performer. Seventeen characters. A national tour produced with Kore Press, directed by Lisa Bowden, developed at the Rhythm Industry Performance Factory in Tucson.
“Coming in Hot is a tour de force… powerful and affecting piece beautifully delivered by Simpson.”
Tucson Weekly
“Simpson showed rich, mature talent in playing 14 roles… theater that will long resonate in the thoughts of its audiences.”
Ford Burkhart — Pulitzer Prize-winning NY Times journalist
“Ms. Simpson brings all of these people to the stage through the channel of her own considerable talent as an actress.”
Huffington Post
“Tenderness is the quality that has most stayed with me from Coming in Hot.”
