Recommendations of Silver Sixpence

  • Tim Nicolai: Silver Sixpence

    Absolutely terrific play. Jessi does so much with both of these characters in such a short span of time - it's timely, moving, funny, beautifully written and optimistic all in just a few pages. Can't recommend enough.

  • Wren Aubrey Latham: Silver Sixpence

    Love Jessi Pitts' ability to hold a moment of time in her hands and dress its wounds, welcome you in, and make you laugh, sometimes in a single blow. "Bitch, that's a nickel" made me bark out a laugh. I think Pitts can capture the human condition in a way that makes me want to picket outside of every playwrights festival, chanting, "Read her, stage her, pay her now! Pick Jessi Pitts! I don't care how!"

    Heartwarming and heartwrenching at the same time. Pitts established an entire family dynamic in 10 minutes and was able to give us a broad view of who these sisters are.

    This short play packs so much heart and beautiful/complicated sister relationship into its ten minutes. It's funny and touching, but also doesn't hold back on its critique on how allies don't always show up to ally.
