I hope you’ll excuse me while I kvell a little here! It’s so exciting for us to be able to announce that thanks to the incredibly positive audience and critical response to our production of Lynne’ Kaufman’s THE COUCH, we’ve extended its limited run beyond the Festival dates. We still have excellent availability for both of our main stage plays through March 31 (and great 2-play packages), and we have 2 more wonderful weeks of readings and events on the Festival calendar. But now we’ve also added 3 more dates for THE COUCH: Friday April 5 and Saturday April 6 at 8 pm, and for you matinee-lovers, Sunday April 7 at 2 pm.

As a Company, we really couldn’t be more delighted with the reception to our brand new, uniquely 3GT take on Lynne’s play! All of the members of our team — director Amy Glazer, playwright Lynne Kaufman, cast members, designers, front of house crew, along with the behind-the-scenes folks responsible for our impressive production values –have been singled out for praise by the critics and by audience members. Here are just a few examples of what we’re hearing:
And the full articles are even better than these short quotes! And mo bettah: audience response has been powerful and satisfying. Goldstar reviewers resoundingly agree with the critics. And my personal favorite Goldstar comment:
“The theater company is wonderful. Go support them.”
Yahoo! If you still haven’t bought your tickets — or if your March calendar was too tight to fit in a show — I hope all of this encourages you to join us soon and see what happens when 3Girls Theatre puts women’s work on stage, where it belongs!

Join Playwright Lynne Kaufman for our final Psychology Weekend Event!
Happy St. Patty’s Day! We’re celebrating with a very special 30 minute pre-show conversation between Lynne and third generation Jungian analyst Dr. Tom Kirsch about the Jung/Freud relationship, Jungian and Freudian analysis then and now, and the personal and professional life of Carl Jung and his circle. Dr. Kirsch has a fascinating take on the play and its context. Audience members are invited to mingle and meet Lynne and Tom at a wine and cheese reception after the talk. Tickets are still available to the 4 pm show so don’t miss out on winding up the weekend with 3Girls Theatre! Special discount: Enter the code JUNG at checkout to get $5 off! Buy your tix here.
