  • Nelson Diaz-Marcano: FUCK BUDDY: THE MONOLOGUE

    A delight of a monologue. Wyndham has the power of saying so much with so little in his monologues and this one is no exception. From the crude and raw language, to the insightful and clever statements that are said "20 something" has our attention. She/He/Them even has our love as we can easily relate to the feeling and exasperation "20 something" is experience. We could also easily relate to the other side who's just listening. Great job.

  • Nelson Diaz-Marcano: BLIGHT

    A thrilling play that creates a unique atmosphere to discuss the themes of motherhood and beliefs. Hooking its audience from the first scene, Bavoso tangles us up in the main conflict while also giving us new takes on old ideas. This is definitely a new way of doing a haunted house story, one that is not only fresh, but that may be smguve a stronger perspective on what makes something haunted.

  • Nelson Diaz-Marcano: Policarpa: Apocalypse Sur Amerikka

    This is a thing of beauty. i mean it! This play hit me in my very core both as a hispanic and a s writer. Burbano's uses magical realism with extreme ease and this is only matched by her complex characters. This is the kind of characters actors would die to play and the kind of writing that directors live to work on. I hope to see a production of this riveting work as soon as possible.

  • Nelson Diaz-Marcano: The Ithaca Ladies Read Medea

    A great exploration about the effects that the House UnAmerican Activities Committee had on all societies. Jolly's dialogue captivates us into immersing ourselves in a world now almost forgotten but that has become relevant again. The play spotlights the people that are usually ignored when the the conversation about House UnAmerican Activities Committee comes up, but that might have suffered the most as collateral victims of the hunt.

  • Nelson Diaz-Marcano: El Coquí Espectacular and the Bottle of Doom

    There's not many plays that manage to be this entertaining and yet hit me right in my core. As a Puerto Rican who lives in NYC, but that didn't grow up here, this play gave me a window to see the identity problems that that plagues us a community both in the island and in our second home, NYC. Hilarious and heartbreaking, Barbot's work cut right into the middle of the issues and rally us to take a stand for ourselves and our identity while keeping itself relevant no matter your nationality.

  • Nelson Diaz-Marcano: A Moment of Clarity

    A devastating yet tender story about a father and son summarizing their whole relationship on the one moment they can afford to. What Williams' accomplishes in 10 pages many playwrights try to do in 90. This one will stay with me for awhile!
