    “ DeVita is really good at getting audiences to care about his characters right outta the gate, and that feeling makes his work hard to resist! Even if his protagonist is someone you might ignore IRL, he becomes an Everyman you want to root for. It's an impossibly awful office environment DeVita fills with biting humor, but the core of the play is so relatable! ”

    “ Don't be fooled by the amount of comedy DeVita employs in this piece. "The Fierce Urgency of Now" has valuable, well-thought out characters, with a very interesting dynamic between Kyle and Dodo, along with displaying the harsh realities of a totalitarian workplace. Well-researched and well-written, this piece is a surefire attention grabber! Keep up the fantastic work, Doug! ”

    “ A fascinating look into the world of modern advertising agencies--but the true focus is on a young man struggling to live his life in a way that honors his past, his loved ones, and himself. The central relationship isn't sexual or romantic, but rather a collegial friendship between a young gay man and an older woman--offering excellent lead roles for each, plus many strong supporting roles. Fleet, funny, moving, and very produceable. Well done! ”

    “ I saw a reading of this play and it is memorable. Smart, relevant, real, wild, and hysterically funny! ”

    “ If you have worked in an office or any workplace where good intentions were absent, where the verbal attacks piled on high with the assignments, where trust and character were tested -- then DeVita's comedy is for you.
    Some of the snappiest and fiercest dialog I've come across in a long time.

    “ Fierce is right. DeVita really delivers some cutting dialogue with some real zip and pepper behind it. For how hard hitting it is, I was wonderfully surprised by the ending.

    Definitely the play to read if you want dynamic characters and a breath of fresh air. ”

    “ This rapid-fire play is biting and draws blood, but leaves you healed and hopeful by the end. ”
