“…Laura
Shamas, tilting on its axis the recent trend of outsourcing American jobs to
foreign countries, has concocted a plot for RE-SOURCING that’s as original as it
is loaded with comic possibilities….”
Jeff Favre, Backstage West
“…Shamas
has a point to make about the outsourcing of U S jobs to other countries…. There
are funny moments….”
F Kathleen Foley, Los
Angeles Times
“...hilarious RE-SOURCING, a controversial farce sticking it to `The Man’… A
combination situation comedy and political lesson, RE-SOURCING contains a
serious message….
Writer Laura Shamas presents telling tidbits of historical data and current
outsourcing and job woes among American working class, leavened with strong
humor.
As the public feels growing rage around the destruction of the American
middle class and working class to feed the skyrocketing salary increases of C E
Os, RE-SOURCING humorously resolves the situation.”
Mary Mallory, Tolucan Times
“Laura
Shamas deftly and humorously suggests that we ought to consider the ways in
which labor is exploited both within U S borders and across borders.”

California, Irvine
