Examiner Names Z Space and Word for Word
In The 10 Best San Francisco Theater Experiences

"Noted for adapting short works of fiction for the stage without changing a word of the original text, Word for Word takes the word 'adaptation' to all-new levels. You leave a Word for Word show in disbelief that you’ve just seen a short story performed and not a carefully honed play by a world-class playwright. And supporting arts organization Z Space Studio, of which Word for Word is a part, always has intriguing shows in development."
-- Chad Jones, San Francisco Examiner

"...the guiding light of progressive theater and music in the Bay Area."
-- San Francisco Magazine

"Word for Word, the Bay Area company that turns short fiction into fantastic theater."
--Chad Jones, Oakland Tribune

"Z's work - and founder/artistic director Dower's vision - have generated a new and noteworthy spirit of cooperation in the Bay Area theatre community."
-- Jean Schiffman, American Theatre Magazine

"For the past ten years, Word for Word has been bringing literary short stories and chapters of novels so glowingly to life that the writers themselves . . . are enraptured."
-- Callboard Magazine

"How does one grow bored with constant theatrical innovation?"
-- Chad Jones, Oakland Tribune
