Some coverage of Mari Sitner’s NEBRASKA and Bad Mouth Theatre Company in the Minnesota Daily.
COYOTE, Nouveau 47 | Dallas
“… a ferocious writer for the ‘recession generation’ who hurls metaphor, alliteration and theatrical convention into a universe inhabited by the likes of Sam Shepard, John Milton and James Joyce with defiant abandon.”

IRIS, Red Eye | Minneapolis
“Best Playwriting, 2010 Year in Review”
– Lavender Magazine
“IRIS is based upon the Greek legend of Iphigenia, a tale told in the plays of Aeschylus and Euripides. Kautzman gives it a modern makeover, and it gets the Red Eye treatment in an intriguing and well-executed staging, with the dean of Twin Cities experimental theater companies mixing in plenty of movement and music.”
MODERATION, Spooky Action Zoom Presentation | DC
“Seeing this play refined and fully-staged would be intriguing. It revels in ambiguity – including the ending – while the journey is lots of dark, comedic fun.”
