“Wiry and jittery Jennifer Pierro has several hilarious bits as the scheming company psychologist.”
“Director Ken Wolf’s sharp staging realizes the play’s comedic and dramatic momentum through zesty straightforwardness, visual élan and his cast’s strong performances.”
“With its five characters and one set, Powerhouse is in the tradtion of well-made plays.”

“The best acting accolade goes to Jennifer Pierro as the HR psychologist second banana.” -Mari S. Gold, T and B On The Aisle

A 2024 10 Best List
by Darryl Reilly
(shared with Off-Broadway and Broadway Plays)
Manhattan Repertory Theatre is the only theatre company in New York City to make this 10 BEST LIST 2 years in a row with Off-Broadway, and Broadway shows!
Proof of the quality of the work we consistently do!
Since 2017, we have produced over 80 plays with playwrights, actors, and producers from around the world. Each project begins with an idea on the page and grows into a fully realized production on stage.
We are now accepting full-length plays and musicals (60 to 150 minutes) for production through 2026. Whether your goal is an Off-Broadway run, or a fully staged premiere, we can help you bring your work to life in New York City.
Production costs for a full-length play typically range from $25,000 to $200,000 and beyond, depending on the scope of your production, scenic and technical elements, cast size, and number of performances. We work with both Equity and Non-Union projects.
This program is for playwrights and producers who are serious about building a professional production in New York, or anywhere in the world—with the guidance and experience of Manhattan Rep’s team.
Your script deserves more than a reading. It deserves a stage, an audience, and a full production that brings your vision to life.
