  • A SCANDALOUS STORY ABOUT GRANT WOOD
    26 Apr. 2017
    A fascinating exploration of an American artist and the life that made him who he was. This play provides us with characters that are alive on the page, and that makes us care. Arms' dialogue is also a standout, fast yet full of information, it is quick and never feels out of place. The best part is the way this playwright manages to create an insight about America through the life of one of its greatest artists.

    A cleverly written play that has the potential to be so much more than his short length give it chance to. Guidroz has a knack for quick and fun dialogue that easily masks the disturbing conversations and makes you feel comfortable enough to read till the end. Looking forward to see where this play goes!
  • ELEVATOR GIRL
    23 Apr. 2017
    "Elevator Girl" caught me by surprise. Not because of his heavy theme, but because of the clever way it approaches it without relying on big surprises or fall down the hole of cliches topical plays like to use. Instead, Donna gives us a joy ride of a story that albeit sometimes uncomfortable, never stops entertaining. And the uncomfortable feeling? It's the kind that good work gives you.
  • The Mermaids' Parade

    A beautiful piece of Magical realism set in the unforgiving world of New York City. Gina has a way with words in which you are automatically charmed by her characters, even when they less desirable as beings. This play is funny to the point that it keeps you from crying, an endearing to the point that the things that happen to the characters affect you as much. Highly recommended
