"Thank heaven for the unwavering commitment of Jonathan Bank, the theatrical archaeologist whose Mint Theater unearths long-forgotten plays and imbues them with new life,” declared The New York Times. Mint was awarded an OBIE for “combining the excitement of discovery with the richness of tradition” and a special Drama Desk Award for “unearthing, presenting and preserving forgotten plays of merit.” Ben Brantley in The New York Times Arts & Leisure hailed the Mint as the “resurrectionist extraordinaire of forgotten plays."
