  • Nelson Diaz-Marcano: Goat-Sucker: A One-Minute Play

    Hell yeah! Henry gives us a fun yet explosive tale in just one page. This is revenge fantasy at its best, its hilarious yet poignant.

  • Nelson Diaz-Marcano: Sucking On Cucumbers

    Yoooooooo, this play had me rolling! Guadalís creates a work that manages to be incredibly funny and insightful at the same time. In around 10 pages she gives us a deep exploration of sex from the point of view of women with fully developed characters you can't help but fall in love with. "Did you paint a penis on there?!" Amazing.

  • Nelson Diaz-Marcano: The House the Grants Built

    An interesting examination of how to deal with the atrocities our families may have committed in the past, the monsters in your bloodline, and the stains in our history! Bykowski's work is timely and should be read/seen.

  • Nelson Diaz-Marcano: Teeth

    I have not laughed this hard at an ending in so long. What a ridiculously pleasant play! It explores racism, assumption, fear mongering and nature all without saying one word about it. This is absurdity at its best, consider me a Max Reuben fan now.

  • Nelson Diaz-Marcano: PAYTON: A BACK-TO-SCHOOL MONOLOGUE

    Damn it Asher! How are you going to make a grown man feel this emotional this early in the day! Truly a masterpiece of the monologue sub genre. Mr. Wyndham exposes our current state with minimum effort, creating both a heartbreaking story and an adorable window into childhood innocence. Even if that innocent is compromised by today's threats. Bravo!

  • Nelson Diaz-Marcano: PARTNER OF —

    An incredible play that hurts more and more with each line. Carnes work is impressive, and leaves you not only destroyed by the story, but satisfied. A perfect example of what a short play should be, and the effects it can have. I'm absolutely shaken by its truth.

  • Nelson Diaz-Marcano: Alond(R)a

    As a former teenage backyard wrestler, this play had me nostalgic and ready to smile on every turn. As a playwright, this play had me marvel at the way the story tackled the hard subjects between the lines of growing up. As a Femia fan, I can't wait to see this play produced. What a great coming of age story told the way only a New Yorker can tell it.

  • Nelson Diaz-Marcano: I Lived, In Rancho Tehama

    A huge topic boiled down to a simple point thanks to the perspective coming from the shattered inoccence of a child. Donna uses basic math to spotlight the massive impact mass shootings are having in our society in a way only a powerful playwright could. This is poignant work.

  • Nelson Diaz-Marcano: Princess Clara of Loisaida

    A strong story about the harshness of reality and the allure of fantasy spearheaded by two fascinating characters. Barbot explores sibling relationships and coming of age in a way that feels fresh. So sad I missed the reading of this play a few weeks ago, but now can't wait till I see it produced.

  • Nelson Diaz-Marcano: The Green Book Wine Club Train Trip

    A hilarious yet heartbreaking tale of the sacrifices women and people of color have made to get where we are. A clever play that uses wit to explain the weight of history and delightful characters so we can live it. As the play progresses the more invested we are and by the end, it feels like we are leaving family. I hope I can see a production of this play one day soon!
