Writing for Broadway World, Scotland, Natalie Donoghue described it as 'A one-woman show delivered with passion and enthusiasm…engaging and thought provoking.'

Award-winning Off Broadway playwright Monica Bauer's new solo show makes its American premiere at the East to Edinburgh Festival, at 59E59 Theaters.

The Detroit Repertory Theatre's 2013/2014 Season will have a Champagne Opening and Celebration on November 07, 2013. The highlight of this 57th Opening Night at the Rep will be the Midwest Premiere comedy A FACILITY FOR LIVING by Katie Forgette. The rest of the season are all World Premiere plays that span a range of issues: a powerful story about the changing music scene in the 1960's in America as a metaphor for the race riots happening at the time; a mystery about 3 Cherokee 'blood brothers'; and finally a twisted comical romp about a professor who meets a student who has taken his teachings about animal rights literally.
