Reviews

• "The foremost presenter of new and adventurous music theater works in the country." TIME Magazine
• "Philadelphia's Premiere Factory." The Washington Post
• "Floyd Collins... has large ambitions, and lives up to them." The New York Times
• "Long Live The Prince!" The Philadelphia Inquirer
• "Hey, They Do Write 'Em Like They Used To... Everything old can seem new again... That is the delightful lesson of 3hree...presented in a snappily renovated former movie house, the Prince Theater." The New York Times
• "Spotlighting emerging musical theater artists, 3hree demonstrates that even the most talented among us need a place to begin, to wrestle with a complex, collaborative art form in manageable pieces. The show... lifts off and soars... inspiring great hope for the future of the American musical." Variety
• "Enterprising and ambitious productions" Philadelphia City Paper
• "Once in a great while, it happens in the theater that someone extends an arm into the heavens and, to our amazement, snatches down a lightning bolt. It happened last week with Revelation in the Courthouse Park, the orgy musical that capped the American Music Theater Festival's fourth annual season. With an astonishing concentration of theatrical forces, the production, which hit with earthquake force... renewed the festival's franchise on a certain kind of excitement in this town." The Philadelphia Inquirer
