Of the premiere "ILove99 The Musical!" event on March 10, Paul Birchall of StageRaw.com said, "[This show was] held together and bolstered by love, talent, and passion. It was also a program that crackled with fierce intelligence, with sketches and songs that melded irony, humor, and a smattering of rage, as performers from many of our local stages tried to make sense of a union that seems to want to pull the plug on an entire culture."

Birchall continued, ... "the philosophical core of the show turned on French Stewart's commonsensical appraisal of Los Angeles small theatre. 'The theatre is like farming,' Stewart noted. 'You don't get paid for the seeds. You get paid for the fruit.'"

Pro99 is a collection of thousands of individual theatrical artists that have become a community choosing to work in intimate theatres (under 99 seats) in Los Angeles. The community includes professional actors, directors, writers, designers, stage managers, and producers. Many are proud members of Actors Equity Association and most are members of other unions as well. The Pro99 community believes it has the right to perform its crafts in an intimate and non-commercial setting and volunteer its talents in search of creative fulfillment.
