The 29th Street Rep's 2000 production of its adaptation of nine short stories from Charles Bukowski's "South of No North (Tales of the Buried Life)" was a big hit, running over 100 performances. This was followed by ts revival of Sam Shepard's "Fool for Love" enjoyed a 19-week run of 122 total performances, ranking as the company's most successful production at the box office. In 2003, the Rep's production of Charles Willeford's "High Priest of California" was cited by the New York Times as one of the best Off-Broadway plays of the season.

The Lincoln Center Theater Archives has videotaped, for preservation, the 29th Street Rep's productions of "Killer Joe", "Pig", "Bobby Supreme", "Avenue A", "South of No North ", "High Priest of California", and Jack Henry Abbott's "In the Belly of the Beast Revisited".
