Etiquette is a perfect snapshot of how we attempt to navigate theatre through rapid cultural shifts and the growing desire for better accountability. This play is sharp and funny with poignant messages on how we move forward post-pandemic. The characters are wonderfully alive with relatable flaws and witty dialogue that had me laughing throughout!

It's genuinely always fun to engage with a David Lee White script. It's even more fun seeing his own specific take on the plight of a theater administrative team bouncing back in 2021. His delicious one-liners are cutting, his characters are well-drawn, and ETIQUETTE specifically raises questions about power, privilege, and the changing landscape of theatrical audiences (and office staff) in the here and now. This one's a fun, punchy read.

A week after reading Etiquette, I'm still giggling at some one-liners. This play was genuinely so fun to read, while still tackling tricky, relevant topics - like the turnover happening in theaters as higher ups are ousted, the ability of public opinion to turn on a dime, and a realistic (but not fully depressing) depiction of theatre's post-quarantine return. The characters honor but subvert familiar tropes and challenge cancel culture in a meaningful manner, with a lot of humor along the way!
