Press Reviews

"THE WAITING ROOM…is a bold, risky melange of conflicting elements that is…terrifically moving… there's no resisting the fierce emotional pull of the play…Adventurous… THE WAITING ROOM invigorates as it astonishes. How did Ms. Loomer…ever come up with a piece that's so crazy, so brutal, so logical and so satisfying? For that matter, when was the last time any play moved you enough to ask that question?“ —The New York Times. ”Lisa Loomer's funny-sad THE WAITING ROOM sounds like a feminist polemic but plays like first-rate comedy and drama… Loomer's writing is never pedantic and always lively… THE WATING ROOM is well worth a visit.“ —Backstage. ”THE WAITING ROOM is swift, light, harsh, amused and heartbreaking.“ —Washington Post. ”Fascinating… A smart and disturbing comedy. THE WAITING ROOM glows."
