STAFF RETREAT

Recommended by

  • Christiana Molldrem Harkulich: STAFF RETREAT

    This is such a delightful dark comedy about the systemic issues inherent in non-profit organizations. It's funny and truthful and satiric. I could not put it down. The opportunities for staging are wonderful (and the stage directions made me laugh out loud).

    An extraordinary look at a corroded, yet familiar Art Instituion. Femia swirls delicate, painful truths through rich dialogue and excruciating confrontation. An essential play for the moment, please please please produce this play.

  • Playwrights Foundation: STAFF RETREAT

    The community of national & local readers for the 44th annual Bay Area Playwrights Festival enthusiastically recommends STAFF RETREAT as a Semi-Finalist this season at Playwrights Foundation out of 755 plays. We were deeply moved by the playwright’s profound investigation of the power dynamics, microaggressions, and white privilege that, though talked about, are rarely meaningfully addressed in the workplace. We're compelled by the play's promise, as it explores nonprofit spaces with comedy, heart, and unflinching candor, written with strong evidence of craft. We hope this play is widely read...
