"The Nebraska Women in Higher Education invited Pippa White to perform her original play, 'Angels and Troublemakers', for our spring meeting. We were delighted and inspired by Pippa's depiction of the lives of women who helped to shape history in America and abroad. The audience was transfixed, and amazed at Pippa's ability to take on a personality, an accent, a style and an outlook of each character.She has a unique style that captures an audience. We would highly recommend this performance to any group of people interested in examples of citizens as leaders."

"My students only regret at the completion of Angels and Troublemakers is that they could not immediately arrange for their families to share in such a remarkable and memorable performance. Here are some of their comments:
Pippa White's performance was entertainment wrapped in history, intertwined with inspiration. It inspires the audience to put their own personal passions into motion and do something to change and improve the inequities that still exist today.
I was captivated and didn't want the performance to end. It never crossed my mind that she wasn't any of these women.
While watching her transform into each unique character, I experienced a storm of emotions. Angels and Troublemakers is the magic of true stories that are brilliantly told and hard to ignore.
She kept me intrigued from the time she began to speak. I felt emotion. She became these people.
Pippa set a rhythm by coming back and revisiting each character a number of times, letting us get to know each one better as she brought them back and revealed their causes and motivation, as well as a glimpse into their personalities.
One of the most powerful and lasting ideas I will take from Angels and Troublemakers is that we should all be trying to move forward and make a difference and change the world for the better, rather than accepting the status quo."
