"Now that the sequel to A...My Name is Alice, the joyous feminist revue that stole this critic's heart in 1984, is here, the women's movement takes another long step forward."
— Aileen Jacobson, Newsday

One Shoe Off
By Tina Howe / Directed by Carole Rothman
With Jeffrey DeMunn, Daniel Gerroll, Mary Beth Hurt, Brian Kerwin, Jennifer Tilly
Set by Heidi Landesman, Lighting by Richard Nelson, Costumes by Susan Hilferty, Sound by Mark Bennett, Hair by Antonio Soddu, Production Stage Manager Jess Lynn, Press Representative Richard Kornberg, Casting by Meg Simon, Stage Manager Gregg Fletcher, Associate Producer Carol Fishman
This production was the recipient of a grant award for New American Plays from the W. Alton Jones Foundation. Additional funding provided by AT&T, the Axe-Houghton Foundation, and Hale Matthews Foundation.
"One Shoe Off is rich, gorgeous and compelling. And its narrative shakes down at the end like a kaleidoscope finding an arrestingly beautiful and pattered rest. All in all this is an exquisite, funny play that deserves to find itself Broadway bound."
— Clive Barnes, New York Post
"Tina Howe's level of artifice is never so varied or surprising as in One Shoe Off. Howe creates a high-wire act of verbal and visual images whose motifs are play-acting and theater. Supported by Carole Rothman's sure, precise directing; by a team of sensitive designers that includes Susan Hilferty on costumes and Richard Nelson creating subtle lighting effects; and by the ensemble acting of a superb cast, the play's highly fantastical nature is realized."
— Alexis Greene, Theater Week
"Jeffrey DeMunn's Leonard, in all his grotesque ups and downs carries the play. As Dinah, Mary Beth Hurt is, as always, as near perfection as makes no matter."
— Edith Oliver, The New Yorker
"Overall, this is one of the more interesting new plays around, and it is superbly performed."
— Frank Sobeck, The Christian Science Monitor

Time On Fire

Lighting by Kenneth Posner, Set Consultant Rob Odorisio, Sound Consultant Aural Fixation, Production Stage Manager Jenny Peek, Associate Producer Carol Fishman, Press Representative Richard Kornberg
This production was part of the Naked Angels/Angels in Progress Series.
"Aside from being entertaining, Time on Fire is deeply life-enhancing."
— Howard Kissel, Daily News
"As fresh as it is fearsome, as funny as it is scary."
— John Simon, New York Magazine
"Evan Handler's stories about medical maltreatment should send a shiver down the spines of theatergoers even as they laugh. He is a fine actor, an equally fine writer and a consummate re-enactor of his own experience."
— Mel Gussow, The New York Times

Loose Knit
By Theresa Rebeck / Directed by Beth Schachter
With Reed Birney, Daniel Gerroll, Patricia Kalember, Kristine Nielsen, Constance Shulman, Tamara Tunie, Mary B. Ward
Set by Santo Loquasto, Lighting by Frances Aronson, Costumes by Elsa Ward, Sound by Mark Bennett, Hair by Antonio Soddu, Production Stage Manager Jess Lynn, Press Representative Richard Kornberg, Casting by Meg Simon, Stage Manager Liz Dreyer, Associate Producer Carol Fishman
A workshop of Loose Knit was presented at Long Wharf Theatre.
"Craftily rigged comedy. Has enough crackle to qualify as one of the smarter comedies of manners to be seen in New York recently. Its humor only partly camouflages a bleak picture of New York life in which relationships are as hard to develop as they are quick to unravel."
— Stephen Holden, The New York Times
