“…a show that was specifically written to be performed remotely… The brainchild of playwright Marc Palmieri, [WAITING FOR THE HOST] just may be the first full-length work written for our new surreality.” —TDF Stages. “Call it a play within a play within a crisis… The play authentically flaunts all the glories and pitfalls of a typical online group session.” —NJ Star-Ledger “Waiting For the Host...allows a new work, a new approach to theater, a new approach to performing, a new approach to directing to take place and it is definitely entertaining. The play does not disappoint. It is real, raw, and brings some much-needed laughter; exactly what theater is supposed to do.” - Broadway World
