Spring Awakening, 2019:
"Movingly defiant... Honest, vital and moving performances... Gilman's minimalism is expertly realized so that the audience experiences the shadows of the 19th century parochialism alongside an anarchistic spirit that thunders throughout... muscularity he has deftly balanced with childlike vulnerability." - Lavender Magazine
"Gilman manages to stay true to the legacy of the original while also adding its own fresh take to make it all the more relevant." - BroadwayWorld
"Gilman has brought some new ideas to the show, the best being to have some of the cast play musical instruments, integrating the music into the storytelling even more." - Cherry & Spoon

Peter and the Starcatcher, 2018
"'Peter and the Starcatcher' is quite unlike anything I have ever seen... a multilayered comedy with a gifted ensemble... Though this is not a full song and dance musical, there are action scenes almost choreographed in their precision. The scenes with books are genius and add so much to the production." - Berks Mont

NBC Interview: Philly Young Playwrights Mouthful Monologue Festival
Philly Young Playwrights Mouthful Monologue Festival, 2012-2017
"Throughout the show, the audience is taken through intimate observations of domestic violence, mental illness, discrimination, and questioning identity. Each character is given life by a cast of six young professional actors, who provide timing and finesse to either incite quiet gasps or bouts of laughter. I was proud to see my generation breaking stereotypes left, right, and center stage." - Phindie
