This is an interesting and funny play about traditions and in-laws. The characters are developed and relatable. At a few points, I actually felt the tension of being in the room. This play would be the perfect addition to a holiday festival.

I was lucky enough to produce this play with my small theater troupe, which was a great success. The playwright's voice is subtle but powerful, and the characters are well-developed and interesting. It's true that the audience loved it, but the actors are head over heels with the play and the characters. For me, that is the true test of a play: did the actors love the process and would they be thrilled to interact with this play and this playwright again.

I love monologues, and this is one of the funniest monologues I've read in a long time. It's well-framed, and Peter is as invisible in the play as he would be in real life.

Winners is a family drama that is relatable, authentic, and surprisingly funny. There are points when I laughed aloud and points that tore me up. It's fast-moving but avoids oversimplification and stereotyping 'aspects' of the characters' behaviors.
I don't want to reveal too much, but the playwright touches on the purpose of funeral rituals and the people for whom those rituals have meaning. In this play, the rituals are meaningful to both the living and, surprisingly, the dead who remain present in our lives.
I enjoyed reading Winners and look forward to seeing it on stage.

This is such an interesting and relevant play. I don't want to ruin the climax, so I am choosing my words carefully.
Rendered reveals part of an American story that most people never consider. Further, many of us don't want to see both sides of the referenced event. But this play offers us that view and proves that we need to consider it.

So compelling and still so frightening to read. It’s urgent, gripping, and dangerous.
FUKT explores the complexity of love that threatens, bullies, and diminishes but fills an unconscious requirement. It explores a child’s unconditional love for a parent, even when that parent is a predator or an enabler, and the complicated nature of guilt and complicity buried in victimhood.
How can a human being dismiss another’s humanity? Deprive, to cheat a child out of what is sacred in childhood? of a voice? Of personhood? The three selves in this play are authentic and open a spiritual door.

This play is both tragic and funny. Black comedy is peppered through a painful indictment of ancient (and current) aspects of human culture. The relationship between Antigone and Ismene is so complex and well-crafted. The safety of being owned is beautifully contrasted with the elation of freedom, even in the face of death. The entire story is in the questions women ask themselves every day in every culture. It's intense.

This is a compelling play that people should read, hear, or see. It lands now more than ever. It's incredibly complex, funny, tragic, and moving.

This is one of the most interesting plays I've ever read. It's powerful and intense, post-modern and personal. My heart was pounding from the beginning.
It is hard to describe this play. I think it has to be lived rather than discussed. People who want to reach into the most theatrical visions of stage productions will love this piece.

Writer"s Block is a very interesting combination of time-honored storytelling and the experimental breaking of the 4th wall. It is a mystery as well as a trip into a writer's dream space. Ummm excuse me? What just happened? Fun.
