    “ As a tone deaf person with social anxiety, I hope I'm sitting way in the back when I see this. Bit I really Really REALLY hope I get to be there when it happens!

    There's a gloriousness to the conceit that leaves plenty of room for La Maestra to play and react in ways that connect her to the audience and connect the audience to each other.

    A truly grand experiment! ”

    “ This feels to me so much like a silent movie would be like to watch in a darkened theater with no words and yet a lovely bit of music playing to set the mood and tone. Words are not the only way to get across a well of emotions and Martin proves once again masterful at his craft. ”

    “ The subtitle may be misleading. It might take a minute to read, but I’m willing to bet a performance would go longer because the actor and audience will enjoy this piece so much. I always marvel at how Martin can mine ideas that so quickly and efficiently squeeze intense emotions out of an audience, whether highs or lows, and this play does not disappoint. And I predict that every performance will be stunningly varied. Dazzling. ”

    “ To have a one minute play without dialogue and with only one character is truly a tall order, and Martin supplies the goods! Pulling the performance from the audience is the very definition of "immersive theatre". A wonderful celebration of the music of the spheres! ”

    “ STEVEN G. MARTIN has written a masterful one-minute piece, without one word from the actor, and yet we, as the audience, can experience the sounds, emotions, and beauty of music. “Out of the Silence and Back Again (A 1-Minute Play” is a brilliant piece. ”

    “ A bold piece that breaks the forth wall into experiential theatre. Framed by a seemingly traditional context this play is a joyous jab against passive viewership. ”

    “ A fantabulous, explosive, musical musing on the symbiotic relationship between artists and audience. Martin’s play scratches so many itches in a such a short amount of time, and will surely be a hit anywhere it is performed. Audience participation is something we often dread, but rest assured, thanks to Martin’s deft hands, we should definitely embrace it. Highly recommend. ”
