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.

    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!"

  • Grace Heller: Silver Sixpence

    Absolutely worthy of all of its accolades. The sibling dynamic is captured and used uniquely in this short play. Now that I think about it Pitts is exceptionally skilled at writing sisters (check out some of her other work to see what I mean). Do yourself a favor and take a few minutes out of your day to read this touching and honest script.

    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 is a beautifully structured ten minute script. The humor and heart weave together to create a lovely story and sibling relationship. Absolutely beautiful.

  • Rachel Bublitz: Silver Sixpence

    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.

    The model 10-minute play. The structure, characters, setting, and dialogue all serve to deliver the play's story and theme with utter grace and devastating clarity. Silver Sixpence is a gift to the actors, directors, and designers lucky enough to work on it.
