  • Emily Siegel: The Woman American

    A unique play with great social commentary. I was glued to the script the entire time, and would love to see this performed on stage!

  • Emily McClain: The Woman American

    The pace of this dark comedy absolutely sizzles and it races to a very compelling cliff-hanger style conclusion. The characters are rich and multilayered, even within the 1950's housewife facade. Fascinating social commentary lies just beneath the surface and I enjoyed it immensely! I'd love to see this produced!

  • Ruben Carbajal: The Woman American

    The first thing you'll notice about The American Woman is the snap and crackle of the comedic dialogue. Cooper quickly establishes characters in deft strokes and sharp lines. The piece practically glows in technicolor, but underneath the suburban sheen, there's something unsettling percolating. I love how Cooper layers a screwball comedy lightness with the desperation of four women circumscribed in an oppressive world. It makes the final, communal gestures of the play even more resonant.

  • Cheryl Bear: The Woman American

    A very funny and terrifically dark comedy about the 1950s housewives that you will just eat up. Well done!

  • Claudia Haas: The Woman American

    Women in the 1950's bond. And we're talking, major, no-holds barred, life or death "all for one and one for all." What starts out weirdly domestic, takes a turn - for better or worse? A dark comedy satirizing the politics of the time. The four female roles are complex, strong, physical and wildly funny.

  • Steven Hayet: The Woman American

    A terrific short play. Dark, funny, and with the feel as if "The Honeymooners" met "Fargo." Would love to see this on stage.
