  • Gina Femia: We See What Happen by Jonathan Alexandratos
    “

    I've read this play twice now and am so eager to see it produced. Jonathan has taken a traditional biographical concept and exploded it into a theatrical playground. Every turn is unique and exciting and new and unlike anything I've ever read or seen before - and I read and see a lot of theatre. Most of all, this play is full of heart and a deep, throbbing love that runs throughout. In a world where immigration is still a struggle, this play rings true.

    This play is one of the most terrifying plays I've ever read. But it's even more than that - it's tense, expertly crafted and brilliant. Please consider making this play part of your next season - perhaps around Halloween?

    Glad I got to see this play in NYC! It's a lovely play, a retelling of Beauty and the Beast for modern audiences that resonates even more in today's political atmosphere. I highly recommend it!

    A powerful, poignant and often hilarious new play. Chilling and touching, it feels more relevant now than ever before.

    This play took me down so many twists and turns, I couldn't see what was coming. It's surprising, dark and like Matt's other work, so, so funny. I loved this sibling murder comedy and I think you will, too. So produce it!

    I love this play so much and am so glad it's receiving a rolling world premiere. A play about grief and loss and what we do to get through it, it's beautiful and deserves to be on all the stages in the world.

    This play is completely badass, one of the most successful dystopian futures I've read in a play with a world that is not so similar to ours. Lydia's got a powerhouse of a voice and it's thoroughly represented in this amazing play.

    A tight, powerful play about women and the very specific ways they're caused to suffer in a world driven by men and perceptions. This play should be produced.

    A terrifying, satisfying horror story for the stage that feels super relevant to the political climate of today. This play is begging to be performed and is incredibly timely and necessary. Produce this play!
