    If you like this play -- follow her op-eds in the Washington Post. Epic and hilarious.
  • The World of Extreme Happiness

    This is a fearless play. Frances Ya-Chu Cowhig constantly shocks you with her choices, refusing to pander or soften her vision for the comfort of the audience. Fantastic on every level.
  • World Builders

    Every time you think you know where this play is going, and where it will end up, it shifts in surprising ways, staying true to the characters and the darkness they are grappling with.
  • Backyard

    Fantastic play. Wild. Theatrical. Visceral. Characters struggling to figure out where they belong in the world and flailing wildly at everything within reach. And what director wouldn't want to stage the gritty backyard wrestling scenes? Really wish I was around to see the production at Echo.
