Press and Testimonials
"This company has always liked to keep us guessing. It succeeds wildly." ATLANTA JOURNAL CONSTITUTION

"PushPush moved to Decatur and brought along its trademark boldness. It stages in-depth, risky work you won't see elsewhere. PushPush's Festival of New German Playwrights gave us an authentic claim to "international city" cultural status. Uncompromising and audacious, it's theater for adults." ATLANTA MAGAZINE

"PushPush Theater has made a name as a venue for cutting-edge writing and acting. Increasingly, through partnerships and space-sharing, it's also becoming a place for mixing media…a destination for performances that cut across disciplines, as well as a source of intriguing theater." CREATIVE LOAFING

"PushPush Theater is doing important work. They are giving audiences exciting productions, working with young people, creating programs to build strong collaborations with other theaters in our region. They are an outstanding example of the quality of work available on our stages. Their plan to knit the city more closely together through partnerships with other theater companies is an important step in building the kind of collaborations that will help make the entire community stronger."
