Read what’s being said about DISRUPTION!
“Each of the ninety minutes … is packed with increasing tension and tantalizing twists and turns … Employing Louis Parnell’s many skillful tricks and tips as director, the entire creative team and cast shines in ensuring that AJ Baker’s Disruption is an edge-of-your-seat, what-is-going-to-happen-next, Silicon Valley thriller” – Eddie Reynolds, Theatre Eddy’s
“I felt like a fly on the wall in a real office and there was something cool about that. I think overall it was authentic and it’s female forwardness was refreshing.” – Brittany Janis & Katie Cruz, Drama Talk & Drinks
“They get us in the door with an anonymous whistle-blower claim,” says CEO Andy Powell (Sally Dana) in 3Girls Theatre Company’s “Disruption,” of her legal adversaries. “But now that we’re here, they change their claim to sexual harassment?” And that’s just in the first few pages of the zippy whodunit written by local playwright AJ Baker, who also happens to be a lawyer – Lily Janiak, SF Chronicle
“Disruption,” 3Girls Theatre Company’s latest new play, has its finger on the pulse of the current #metoo movement”
– Sam Hurwitt, San Jose Mercury News
“As the self-interested, somewhat secretive chief of staff Cris Friend, Heather Gordon is marvelous. We can sense her machinations and double-dealings at work beneath the surface, and we both hate and understand her, which is a testament to Gordon’s fine performance.” – Patrick Thomas, Talkin’Broadway
” … the tough, salty attorney Vivian Starr, [is] played with great wit and aplomb by Nancy Madden” – Elaine Elinson, 48 Hills
