“Looking over the field, and what do we see? When it comes to brilliant dialogue, challenging characters, and a bold, refreshing theatrical point of view, just two words are needed: Theresa Rebeck! Long may she wave!” — Jack O'Brien

“Theresa Rebeck is a fierce defender of the right to bear witness, an organizer, a galvanizer always willing to take big risks for the good of the theater. She is a powerhouse and a star of the first magnitude, and everybody knows it.” — Marsha Norman

“Comedy of very bad manners.” — Alan Rickman

“Theresa's intelligence and rapier wit energize every word she writes.” — Jeff Goldblum

“Whip–smart, funny as hell, desperate and barely hanging onto sanity; Theresa Rebeck's women grab the controls of these runaway trains and never let go.” — Katie Finneran

“It has been one of the joys of my career to act in Theresa Rebeck's plays, and the greatest stroke of luck for me that she keeps writing them. Her commitment to continue telling stories for the stage is a gift to audiences and actors alike. As terrific as her work is to watch, I assure you, it is equally thrilling to act.” — Julie White

“Theresa writes for actors; the long speech I had in Mauritius is like a free–wheeling jazz solo, and every night when I finished it, I wanted to do it again. That doesn't happen too often.” — F. Murray Abraham

“Theresa's words are melodic to an actor's ear and a joy to pass on to an audience.” — Jerry O'Connell
