Patron Testimonals

  • Very enjoyable. A great mix of funny, quirky, touching, and WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!

    Doug Powhida, Patron

  • TheatreReset brought to life both fun and impactful stories, in such a wonderful and intimate setting, featuring some of the best local talent I've ever seen. There were many times I forgot I was watching a short play festival because of how engrossed I was in their stories. ★★★★★

    Scott Freeman, Patron

  • I legit had a bloody nose from the end of the cult play from snorting too hard. Brava!

    Kyle Jepson, Patron

  • The unique location and weirdness of the scripts (in a good way!) made me feel like I was seeing theatre in New York City. Very avant-garde!

    Jason Treadway, Patron

  • Great shows! Sound technician is a genius.

    Pat Kan, Patron

  • Thoroughly impressive...inspired me to write my own play!

    Eric Shook, Patron & Playwright

  • A feast for the senses!

  • I wasn't sure how you were going to top the first play festival, but you did!

    Denny McGarry, Patron

  • TheatreReset was fresh, fun and thought provoking. As they support multiple writers, whether it's funny or poignant, you are bound to find a skit that really resonates with you.

    Autumn Parker, Patron

  • Every production is better than the last. I don't know how you do it.

    Greg Kan, Patron

  • “It’s not what it looks like!” Actually, it was exactly what it looked like on Saturday - a bunch of theatre lovers putting on a great bunch of short plays! Lots to be proud of!

Playwright Testimonials

  • I'm in awe of the way you handled both festivals. It's hard to believe that these were the first two shows for TR as they were both so well done! My mind is still blown by the Mascot costume! Also, because of the amazing job you did with not only the festival itself, but with promotion of the show, another producer reached out to me yesterday and [...] asked to produce [my play, "Secondhand Soul"] in October. That's 100% because of the amazing work y'all are doing. I can't thank you enough.

    Ava Love Hanna

  • Congratulations to everyone on an awesome opening night last night! It was a really strong and enjoyable show throughout -- great job! And a special thanks to Kyle, Nicki, and Susie for doing such a wonderful job bringing '...Creature' to life. It was a real pleasure to see that one up on its feet for the first time.

    Greg A. Smith

  • My cast was fantastic and truly brought both artificial life form Daisy and her dog Champ to life. I couldn’t have asked for better. Also have to give a shout out to Casey May and Aran Morris who gave the absolute funniest performances of the day in Mark Harvey Levine’s "The Remote." I laughed harder at that play than everything else! All the other pieces were entertaining, endearing, and thought provoking. Just a stellar production from all involved.

    John Busser

  • Thank you for all the work you do for new playwrights!

    Greg Vovos

  • It was such an honor to be part of this production! [...] The performers did a phenomenal job and I'm so thrilled to have been part of this production! [...] Congratulations on another successful festival, and I would absolutely love to work with you again!

  • I loved the energy your crew brought into the building!

    Brock Bauer, Venue Manager

  • This is fantastic! I missed being on theatre email lists! I'm so psyched to see this lil slice of honey-baked hearsay steam its way into my inbox!

    Casey May, Actor

  • Some theatres will cast queer actors but don't actually center queer stories. TheatreReset does both.

    Aran Morris, Actor

  • Thank you, all of you, for being such wonderful artists. You all inspire me and should be proud of the humanity you bring to the stage.
