Kentucky Playwrights

Our latest featured list comes to us courtesy of playwright Jane Jones, who offers this introduction: "This was an exciting chance to dig into the NPX database and discover the breadth of playwrights living and writing in KY. I was delighted by the variety of subjects and forms I found. This list reflects my penchant for dark humor, lyrical plays, and plays that address personal or social issues close to the writer. I also have a deep love of short form and included a couple here. Diana Grisanti’s River City and Brian Walker’s Dog get extra credit for being based in Louisville, KY!"

M.r. Fitzgerald recommended Days of Plenty by Brayden Frascone
“ As someone who has had to make that decision to leave the safe farm life behind to follow a glistening California dream, this play encompasses the immense fears of being trapped in one type of life versus failing miserably while chasing another. I also deeply appreciate how both fears clash together in the form of two friends who are brave enough to share these fears with each other...but will they be brave enough to take a leap for an adventure together? ”
Lainie Vansant recommended Her Own Devices by Lindsay Adams
“ This haunting play is sci-fi at its best - it has a fully fleshed-out world without having to be about the world-building. Big, imaginative ideas fit into a single set and very practical staging, leaving us to focus on the fascinating characters that Adams has created. ”
Matthew Weaver recommended LAPS by Zoe Jovanovich
“ Ridiculously fun, with a must-read scenario that's like a train wreck, especially for for poor outmatched Wilcox, the creep. It's clear from the get-go Jenny is the one holding all the cards. This would be a blast for a teen performer in their local community theatre, and quite possibly just as much fun for the audience, who would get to revel in the not quite safe for school-ness of the play. LAPS is the equivalent of a refreshing slice of key lime pie for dessert - sweet, tart and plenty of zing to keep things interesting. ”
Emma Goldman-Sherman recommended Fénix by Diana Burbano
“ This is a brilliant monologue that gets to the heart of the hatred of women that we all live with across the globe. Burbano's artistry and craft allows us to question assumptions of how we are brought up to think of women as flesh first, how we are immersed in a global culture of objectification, and hopefully how we can learn to see women as human beings, people, yes, even triumphant heroes who refuse to disappear, be silenced or hide. ”
