Emily Claire Schmitt

Playwright.  Screenwriter. Content Creator. Editor.

Despite the heavy, cerebral themes, this play is accessible to all and contains a delightful balance of wit and tenderness — welcome counterpoint to the thought-provoking ideas being addressed."

Ms. Schmitt and Ms. Simon’s writing is not simplistic; their symbiotic willingness to be forthright and face complexity urges not just the characters to reexamine their relationships to religion... but  encourages the audience members to challenge their own perceptions of faith,

Whatchamacallit will induce laughter for any audience. Religion is a touchy subject, and Schmitt has found an approachable way to encourage people to laugh about their own relationships with faith."
