Biking With Andrew Scott enjoyed a successful run at the Write Act Repertory Theatre in Hollywood, CA (April 10 - May 17, 2008)

The Tolucan had this to say: "Delivered with heartbreaking authority by playwright Debbie Bolsky, this story is at times gentle, brutal, clever and sweet, and always an incredible ride."

Backstage West stated: "The twist: From the opening scene onward, Andy appears as a ghost, and only Stephanie can see and speak to him. This plot device offers the production's best moments, thanks to several honest, tender moments, well-crafted by Bolsky and handled with reserved yet palpable emotion by Brown and Crabtree."
