"...provides a key exploration of the potential shifts in cultural power that may result from meaning-making casting practices, as Pao reopens questions of nontraditional casting and repositions previous debates for a new generation of theatre practitioners and scholars."

"Angela Pao's No Safe Spaces is an outstanding contribution, important not only for those interested in theater and performance studies but also for scholars invested in examining the complexities of race, the centrality of the body, and the entanglements between the cultural and the political."
