    “ A cringe-worthy piece that kept me on the edge of my seat. With smart use of projection, complicated arguments and clear dynamic conflict - this piece will leave an audience with something to debate and think about. A 140-character eulogy for an entire life. I'm still cringing-- in the best possible way! ”
  • Working for Crumbs - A Dead Body Farce by Kate Danley
    6 Jun. 2018
    “ A hilarious farcical plunge in the secretarial pool with dynamic roles that have been yet to be written for actresses. Like if FAT CAT KILLERS were written for women. Thank you, Danley, for writing this brilliant, smart and deliciously dark comedy. Young physical comediennes everywhere, rejoice! ”
  • Dead Behind the Eyes or The Ingenue Play by Becca Blackmore (she/her)
    2 Jun. 2018
    “ A truly unconventional fairytale for adults with a clear tone and comedic voice. As four women languish in a castle feasting on skittles, they start to wonder what they are waiting for. A piece that has potential to be very funny with the right creative team. Smart and self-aware. ”
  • Babel by Jacqueline Goldfinger
    2 Jun. 2018
    “ Set in a world of genetic pre-screening, stork mind-hacking and the safety that comes with playing God, Goldfinger conceives of a unique, unsettling world that seems terrifyingly plausible while also raising discussion-worthy questions. Because in a world that demands genetic perfection, would you have been born? ”
  • Flight by Patrick Gabridge
    2 Jun. 2018
    “ A sad little gem set in Logan airport that's about missing much more than flights. Starts a bit offbeat and darkens. Well-written and thematically airtight. ”
  • Dead Meat by Paige Zubel
    31 May. 2018
    “ A post-apocalyptic barbecue. There's meat, too many goldfish, and a bizarre memorial ritual that involves twinkie-binging. Did I mention that all the women have become zombies? Oh, and that the all-XY cast is played by women? Don't be fooled by the threat of the undead: this irreverent testosterone tragedy sneaks in some insightful commentary under the guise of a zombie chiller. Creepy and clever. ”
  • What We Were by Blake Hackler
    30 May. 2018
    “ A chilling piece that seamlessly shifts from 1990-2016 and everywhere in between. This haunting play explores the familial rifts caused by sexual abuse and how three sisters cope with the trauma left in its wake. Surprising, beautiful and as wide as the Texas sky. ”
  • The Wooden Heart by Adam Szymkowicz
    29 May. 2018
    “ INTO THE WOODS meets DILBERT narrated by a wounded ex. Intelligent, meta, and at turns magical, this is a modern-day adult fairy tale for all of us struggling to find our purpose well after we were supposed to be adulting. ”
  • FRIENDS WITH GUNS by Stephanie Alison Walker
    28 May. 2018
    “ A masterful piece for the right foursome with strong scenes for F/F, M/F and M/M. Well-crafted, excellently paced, and a scene study dream. Fully locked and loaded. ”
  • ACCOMMODATION by Greg Burdick
    28 May. 2018
    “ ACCOMMODATION gives overworked and underappreciated teachers a long-overdue and particularly satisfying voice. It highlights the increasingly impossible task we demand of our educators at the risk of ultimately teaching our children nothing. Exciting, imaginative, and necessary as educators face a rising cell-phone-toting, prescription-wielding generation. We cannot wait to see the ripples this piece makes as it develops. ”
