"Shotgun’s growth from a gleam in the eye to gritty little company in a pizza parlor basement to one of the Bay Area’s most respected small theater companies—with its own home, and a solar-powered one at that—is impressive enough on its own. But what makes this a tale worth paying attention to is the company’s commitment to its art. Shotgun’s ambitions have always exceeded its grasp. As its work has grown more polished and its regional and world premieres more exciting, it keeps challenging itself and its audience to reach a little higher. Here’s to the next 20 years."

Robert Hurwitt, Theater Critic
