  • Visitation by Andrew Martineau
    11 Jun. 2021
    “ VISITATION by Andrew Martineau is a beautifully touching and suspenseful two-hander. It's a tight and emotional journey of love, guilt, and regret. Iris is suffering in prison for mysterious reasons that come to light by the end. Ben is suffering from an act that led to his mother's imprisonment. Visitation is a wonderful punch that leaves you aching with understanding. ”
  • The Fierce Urgency Of Now (Radio Script) by Doug DeVita
    11 Jun. 2021
    “ Doug DeVita's, THE FIERCE URGENCY OF NOW, the audio adaptation of the play of the same name, has all of the same characters you love, and love to hate, in the play with the scripted inclusion of a rich audio soundscape to paint the realities of the scene. The show is a brilliant look at expectations, dreams, and escape. Its wonderfully rich characters and fast-fire dialogue accurately recreates the high-stress world of advertising, the frustrations with management and problem clients, the long-term effects of following through on expectations when your dreams were waylaid by reality. So good. ”

    “ Doug DeVita's, THE FIERCE URGENCY OF NOW, is a brilliant look at expectations, dreams, and escape. Its wonderfully rich characters and fast-fire dialogue accurately recreates the high-stress world of advertising, the frustrations with toxic management and problem clients, the long-term effects of following through on expectations when your dreams were waylaid by reality. Anger, fear, loss, bigotry, hope, toxic people, and loving friendship are the foundations of the narrative. There are characters you love and characters you love to hate all written in a realistic, honestly funny, and biting way. This play is smart, fresh, and very well done. ”
  • Sorting it Out by Neil Radtke
    11 Jun. 2021
    “ SORTING IT OUT by Neil Radtke is as touching as it is unexpected. Emily is graduating from High School. Cindy, her sister, did whatever she could to make sure that Emily had the path to the best future after their mother's untimely death. Cindy made mistakes while young and tried to impart a message of responsibility to Emily. This is a play about cause and effect and the touching relationship between a child and her older sister. It's the type of play that lets the audience sort it out at the end. Wonderfully done. ”
  • Fever (Radio Play) by DC Cathro
    10 Jun. 2021
    “ 2020 left us all with a deep understanding of fear and loss–fear of infection, of transmission, and the loss of our normal, of what we used to love. DC Cathro's FEVER (Radio Play) is a complicated and touching analogy of the world during the pandemic. Angel wants to go out to see a band and dance outside with her boyfriend. Mama is wheelchair-bound, high risk, and is afraid to let her. Fever offers a complex relationship between mother and daughter made of love, guilt, sadness, and longing. It's a story of before-and-afters and of finding grace in the new normal. ”

  • Mission by Robert Weibezahl
    9 Jun. 2021
    “ The best dramas have elements of comedy to lighten the mood, relax the viewer, and sneak in to heighten the emotion of the show. MISSION by Robert Weibezahl does just that. Lee and Jamie have a failing relationship. They lost their connection to each other and are on a mission of their own through their travel. Weibezahl crafts a realistic couple navigating a rough patch while keeping the roles gender-neutral. This dramedy would be a dream to cast. You could simply pick the best performers from the audition and pair them together. ”
  • It's Totally Not by DC Cathro
    8 Jun. 2021
    “ IT'S TOTALLY NOT by DC Cathro is a quick funny two-hander with amazing quippy pacing. Coincidences build and Margie is beginning to think the world is trying to tell her something. Her partner Duane tries to bring her back to reality. The play shines with its witty dialogue. The conversation feels real, the jokes are very well written, and the pay-off at the end is superb. I laughed out loud reading this show and would love to see it performed live. This show would be perfect for a festival with a supernatural theme. ”
  • Be That As It May by Andrew Martineau
    8 Jun. 2021
    “ BE THAT AS IT MAY is a show that will be a stand-out in festivals. Andrew Martineau's quick-witted comedy has some great unexpected twists and fantastic opportunities for the actors to shine. In the show, Russ, a professor at a local college, gets laid off and takes drastic measures. Joe, the dean of the school, tries to stop him from making a mistake. The layers of this show are what really sets it apart and lays the foundation for a hilarious punchline. Well…be that as it may, I think this show deserves to be seen on stage. ”
  • Everlasting Chocolate Therapy by Steven Hayet
    8 Jun. 2021
    “ I had the privilege of seeing this twice as a part of Theater Unmasked performances and love it. It is a natural progression of the inspiration with brilliant moments and some real candy for the actors to bite into. It’s a wonderful mix of comedic beats with earnest delivery of clarity. This is a great show to perform live. ”
