    I think it's human nature to want to feel appreciated. Also, it should be the human thing we all do in showing that appreciation when and where it's needed. Martin gives us a valentine full of admiration in this short play for the sometimes overlooked component of theater, but probably the one most in need of those feelings of love. This would be such a great play to see included in any ten minute festival.

    Oh, how I loved the moment when all expectations are turned upside down, and "An Appreciation" becomes an appreciation of what should always be appreciated. Beautifully done, Steven G. Martin. Beautifully done!

    I laughed in joy as I came to the unexpected ending, which the playwright totally set up in the beginning. A fun piece that makes imaginative use of the theatre space and is perfect for a proscenium stage or black box.

    Simply lovely. Martin turns his - and thusly, our - attention to an oh so integral and yet so easily overlooked aspect of theater, and gives it its due, as only he can. Any Steven G. Martin play is a thoughtful, thoughtfully composed, reflection on art and life and beauty, but AN APPRECIATION is a master work. It's clever, but more than that, it's honest, but more than that, it's a revelation. And no one dares to test barriers and boundaries like Martin. (I know. I've tried.) Martin writes from the heart, and we can only marvel at the result.
