    NO HANDS is so sweet! The characters are engaging, the dialogue is sharp, and I love the way this gives a lively and distinctive voice to something that wouldn’t ordinarily be thought of as having a voice.

    There’s so much that I admire about this ambitious and passionate play, particularly how it brings both its famous and not-so-famous characters to life.

  • Lenny Hort: BUNNIES by Joanne Hoersch
    “

    Joanne Hoersch writes with her head, her heart, and her guts in this fascinating, fast-paced, thoroughly believable comedy/drama of unlikely feminist empowerment at a particularly tense moment.
