It Pays To Advertise, by Roi Cooper Megrue and Walter C. Hackett

Metropolitan Playhouse (2009)

One of the best revivals of 2009 -- Martin Denton of nytheatre.com

“Friends, Metropolitan Playhouse has outdone itself!...  In just about every way, the quick comedy of this play feels fresh and invigorating. Director Michael Hardart does a splendid job moving the story briskly and sunnily, never giving us too much time to ponder the increasingly outlandish goings-on...  I had a blast.”

--Martin Denton for nytheatre.com

“Director Michael Hardart keeps the pace bubbling along...  After almost a century, It Pays to Advertise continues to be a delightful comedy, as well as extremely prescient and topical in our current world. Michael Hardart’s entertaining production mines the play for all its comic potential. “

-- Victor Gluck for Theaterscene

“A rollicking story...  it pays to see It Pays to Advertise.”-- Amanda Halkiotis for New Theater Corps​
