So funny and, sadly, so true. A fast paced take on sexism in Hollywood (and everywhere, really) that manages to make its laser sharp point without being didactic. No surprise it's a short play festival favorite!

A hilarious take on the way sexism is written into television, including the news. Fantastic!

Smart, funny, totally magnetizing writing. This play has everything, said and in subtext. Simply perfect. Put this in your short play festival yesterday.

This is a hilarious and poignant play that I would love to see performed onstage. If you are looking for a ten minute piece, I highly recommend that you give this one a read!

Sure to become a classic in the new enlightened era! If only this was a period piece! Hoke has written a real send-up of our sexist culture complete with all the discomfort Chrissie can take - and the double twist at the end makes it a must-read!

Wow! A biting social commentary on the double standards that unfortunately still exist. I was cringing as I laughed - deftly done!

There are so many double-standards at play here it seems that male-dominated corporate cultures, in this case entertainment, aren't only missing a moral compass but are desperately in need of an ethical gyroscope as well. The piece is filled with frankness, complexity, and all levels of wit. The psychology of and standards of strength and weakness for women and men are explored fearlessly and economically. As thought provoking as it is entertaining.

This jab at sexism in media has a comfortably old-fashioned tone, with the sexy secretary gag and phrases like "dollface" and "sure as shimmy." The modern interjections of crass cock jokes make for some laugh-out-loud moments and shocking visuals.

The structure of this play excites me. JACK PORK’s sleaze-oozing satire builds to a series of images — literally, a photo shoot — we’re not likely to forget. The result is a keen commentary on gendered double-standards in media.

Hilarious take-down of sleazy writers, clueless directors and willing actors as they manufacture a television show (yes, it's like sausage-making in this play). Double entendres and full frontal fun abound in this ten-minute gem.
