God! This play is Laugh Out Loud good and yet lump in the pit of your stomach terrifying.

That's because Olivia Matthews brings a very real monster (student loans) to life in this short play! I'M NOT OKAY confronts the anxiety of student loans with MCR lyrics! Absolutely fantastic! And this script is so versatile that it works on stage or on Zoom.

Read! Produce!

Highly Recommended!

THE SPRINGVALE ARMADILLO is a haunting tale told through visceral dreams and intimate flashbacks, while always bringing it back to the immediate needs of the present. Donald Loftus uses the religious fears of Leprosy in the early 20th century to explore the stigma of HIV/AIDS in the 1980s. Putting this story into the further context of the current pandemic draws into sharp focus the isolation and fear that plays out in the story.

I had the honor of seeing a reading of this play over zoom, and the emotion in the language was palpable!
Highly Recommended! So well done!

I HEART EATING BRAINS is a great part of the Zombie-Vampire-Werebeast-Monster-Ghost genre! Emily McClain creates a fun Halloween show that is sure to clear um any misconceptions you had about the undead. An absolutely great script for Actors and Designers to sink their teeth into!

THE OLFACTORY SOUL has a classic creepiness to it with some very modern twists! Scott Sickles gives us a curse, a bewitching enchantment, and one hell of an ethical debate! A very visual, sensual, and scented play. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

An absolute MUST READ! DC Cathro takes us on a wild ride of subtle twists and turns. GOLDFISH is funny and uncomfortable and shocking. It is a delightful how disturbing this play is! Check it out!

BARBARIAN will challenge your expectations, just as much as it challenges the faith of its characters. Daniel Prillaman creates and atmospheric and unsettling play about viking invaders and religion. What can be done when everything you believe is being tested?

Such a fun play! I want so badly to see this staged!

O.M.G.

The creepy factor in this play is turned up to ELEVEN! There is so much that is unsettling in THE LANGUAGE BEAR: a creepy child, a silent woman, and a very vocal imaginary bear. Just to name a few. Dominica Plummer creates an absolutely disturbing look at 3-year-old Poppy's home life.

Great for any horror festival!

Leave it to Matthew Weaver to write a play about stars that makes me cry! EARTH PEOPLE is an innocent moment of mourning for all the things we have lost and all the things we could lose.

This play is elegant and heart-breaking. Science Fiction theatre at it's finest! Bravo, Sir!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Magical. Sensual. Mesmerizing. ROAD THROUGH HEAVEN is a beautiful story of unconditional love and dark secrets. Ricky J. Martinez's writing a lyrical and everything about this piece is stunning. From the visceral moments of the opening scene to the bitersweet moments of the final scene, I found this piece utterly captivating.

I had the opportunity to watch the Silver Tongued Stages reading on YouTube, and it was incredibly intimate and uplifting. Watch this play, Read this play, Produce this play!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLAY!

I found KEENE to be absolutely riveting! Anchuli Felicia King explodes the framework an academic Shakespeare conference, giving us an inside look at what it means to be an outsider in academia. The main characters are confronted with casual racism and intellectual elitism, as they try to navigate careers, relationships, and paper presentations.

I had the opportunity to see a virtual performance of KEENE presented in partnership between the American Shakespeare Center and Red Bull Theatre. The words and music of this play take you through a three day roller coaster of emotions in a tight two hours!
