"New play development is a tricky
business -- as costly, inefficient and vital as research and development
labs are to corporations. The bottom line eats away at risk-taking
in the cautious regional theaters, dwindling mid-sized houses and
struggling smaller groups... No one has thought longer or worked
harder on the development process than David Dower, artistic director
of The Z Space Studio."
-- Steven Winn, San Francisco Chronicle
"...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
