Read what four of the five 2008 20/20 New Play Commission recipients have to say about InterAct's 20/20 New Play Commission program::

"A commission from InterAct is more meaningful to me than any other hundred or so theaters I could name. InterAct wants plays that matter, and in that sense they raise the bar very high. Would that the rest of American theatre were this significant."

- Lee Blessing

"Starting a new play is a journey into the abyss. With my 20/20 Commission, I feel like I'm walking into the abyss with InterAct Theatre Company holding my hand. "

- Elaine Romero

“Every time I sit down to work on my play for my commission from the InterAct I'm reminded of the enlightened grace of the 20/20 program, but its value to me as a working playwright - as tremendous as that is - is minor compared with the contribution it's making to the American theater at large.”

- Eric Pfeffinger

"I am grateful that InterAct and the 20/20 Commissions program has enabled me to pursue my artistic goals by challenging me to apply my voice to issues that excite me, anger me, and make me want to change the world."

- Michael Whistler
