    This play was a treat to work on in our Women's Voices Festival! It is contemporary, full of humor, topical, and has a strong point of view. It is clever and leaves you thinking and laughing. Kristine is a joy to work with too!
  • SPIN
    2 Nov. 2020
    This play is a showcase for actors! It's a worthwhile and surprisingly funny exploration about difficult family members and how our reaction to them is what matters to our own experience. This play has a distinct voice and needs a full production after receiving a Zoom workshop reading in our Women's Voices Festival!
  • MRS. EINSTEIN
    5 Aug. 2020
    A beautifully written and engaging piece highlighting an intimate portrait both personal and particular between Mileva Maric and Einstein. It addresses privilege and power in society and the unacknowledged contributions of women throughout history. It is a play that makes scientific knowledge accessible through a creative lens making it a great addition to the science play genre. Witty dialogue and captivating!
  • As I Was, Not As I Am
    5 Aug. 2020
    This play dives deep into relationship (roommate) complexities. The dialogue is sharp and concise. It takes risks. The central character, Laurel, is a well-drawn figure. Very identifiable for many communities
  • Sapience
    5 Aug. 2020
    Subject matter is very compelling. From science, autism awareness and the use of theatrical conventions that allow communication between human and orangutan make this a great play to explore. It has complex women that have complex relationships (both friendships & romance). And great insight into autism and the way neurotypical people misunderstand it.
  • Mountain Law
    5 Aug. 2020
    The special considerations to the wind are remarkable and help to set the tone of the play providing spatial attitude and rhythm. The juxtaposition of men in the time period is powerful: have we really changed? Have men really changed as much as we'd like to think they have? A very strong character arc for the lead female character, Tamson.
  • My Life As You

    The dialogue moves well. It is well-conceived, and unfolds somewhat mysteriously. It makes you laugh, it makes you reflect, it makes you remember pain. I took a journey and was emotionally affected.
