“
Like others I had a visceral reaction to this very brave monologue that speaks for just so many of us. Would be amazing in performance. ”

- Emily Hageman:15 Jan. 2019“ This play so perfectly captures a moment that is so real, so powerful, so crippling. I don't even know what to say. This is so powerful. This is everything I felt in that moment and more. Thank you for giving so many of us, SO MANY OF US, a voice, Gina. Thank you for being so brave. Read this piece now because it is so, so, so much more than writing, it is truth and it is pain and it is anger and if you don't understand, read this and you will. ”
- Rachel Bublitz:15 Jan. 2019“ This piece gave me a visceral reaction, I could feel it in my stomach as I read, in the tears welling in my eyes. Femia makes a jarring and yet apt comparison between a moment in the 2016 election in which one of the then candidates, and now our president, bragged on tape about grabbing women and a specific and personal sexual assault. There’s brilliant brevity to her dialogue, it would be devastating to see staged. ”
- Carolanne Baker:31 Jan. 2018“ Powerful. I love Gina Femia's writing. She's my new favorite. ”
- Emma Goldman-Sherman:26 Jan. 2018“ 29th Street Playwrights Collective produced the workshop of this at The Un-Auguration in 2017 and it felt timely and urgent then, and it's even more timely and urgent now. I hope Femia gets the chance to have it fully produced - a very moving piece of theatre! ”
- Nelson Diaz-Marcano:15 Nov. 2017“ An uncomfortable and sincere play that feels like a dagger to the heart. Femia puts the character front and center of how most women felt when November 8, 2016 happen. How we all felt when it happened. A betrayal from a society we trusted to be better, a pain that took away a bit of our honor. "Pussygrabber" is an important one woman show that captures perfectly the sentiment of a disillusioned and assaulted nation. ”
- Shaun Leisher:19 Sep. 2017“ A powerful solo piece that really shows how so many of us could not just accept the results of the 2016 election and why we still resist. This play will be important as long as men who abuse women continue to be rewarded. ”
