  Jean Koppen, Playwright

Reviews and Media.

DC Metro Theatre Arts on "Got a Light?"
"A wonderful display of Koppen’s creativity, she was able to make time travel a reality by including hilarious lines that connected current issues to 15th-century France."

​The Alexandria News on "Black Hole"

“Jean Koppen deftly looks at (the black hole of) family disfunction in her stunning playwriting debut.” “Koppen’s script is poignant and funny, peppered with realistic dialogue and delivered by a talented cast.”

​​DC Metro Theater Arts on "Black Hole"
“An original work of art that will leave the audience questioning their own histories and re-examining what they think they know about their familial relationships.” “This script showcases Koppen’s talent with dialogue, character arc, and with a story that reminds us that things are not always as we might believe them to be."

​Life With More Cowbell on "Housekeeping"

"Three cleaners find something unexpected in a wealthy client’s home and their everyday routine is thrown into disarray as they debate the moral and ethical implications of their discover and what to do about it. At times darkly funny, the play highlights the stark realities of class, precarious work and distrust of a justice system that treats the rich differently from the rest of society."

​The Washington Post on "Capsmittment"

​“Capsmittment,” about two male Caps fans in their 20s (named after two of the guys who sit by Koppen and her husband at games) who are trying to decide whether they’re ready to make a season-long commitment to their team."

Interview with .govaculture

​Jean Koppen's play Capsmittment won last year's Sportaculture playwriting competition. Jean previously worked for The Smithsonian Institution which is part of the federal government (yes, really) and currently works for AARP, which some people think is part of the federal government (it's not, but they do).
