  • My (Diagnosed) Self by Dave Osmundsen
    28 Nov. 2023
    “ This is a hard play for me, and that's what makes it so powerful and necessary. As an autistic person diagnosed late in life (almost 56) it's a conversation I've had often, and it hurts my heart to see it so wonderfully represented on the page in a way that is very real, relatable even if you're not autistic, and funny - yeah, it's gonna play funny (haha funny) and I think that's fabulous because that's how playwrights get audiences to learn stuff, through humor and the open-heartedness that laughter brings. Thank you, Dave, for this courageous play! ”
  • the beautiful land i seek (la linda tierra que busco yo) by Matt Barbot
    12 Nov. 2023
    “ Here is a stunningly theatrical play! Barbot makes the history of the fight for Puerto Rican independence so alive and palpably necessary while deconstructing stereotypes to provoke both hilarity and pathos in well-apportioned doses. Barbot writes to stir our emotions with fabulous roles for actors. He succeeds beautifully with this gorgeous work of art. A privilege to see or read. ”
  • Great Hollow by Jillian Blevins
    8 Nov. 2023
    “ I heard this on Ugly Radio. It's a great exploration of a ghost story/family drama with super atmospheric elements and the feeling that so much is happening underneath. The characters feel completely real which is not always the case with a ghost. Well done! ”
  • Romeo & Her Sister by Jillian Blevins
    5 Nov. 2023
    “ Romeo & Her Sister is exciting and super-theatrical! I was thrilled by the story and the language and love-love-love how Blevins brings history, lesbians, and Shakespeare together to entertain and inspire us all! The pacing works beautifully. The sheer thrill of the drama, and how the sisters are sisterly instead of sinister - so charming, I am smitten! ”
  • STAINS by Sarah Cho
    14 Oct. 2023
    “ Fabulous romp of a comedy about a teen's coming of age that warms my heart! Bilingual and specific and yet so universal in its specificity! It will be hilarious onstage. Menstrual plays are as necessary as tampons! I hope it gets produced soon and often! ”
  • Fascists and the People Who Kill Them by Kyle Smith
    28 Sep. 2023
    “ We need this play now! Funny and very well-written. Fascism is no joke, but this dark comedy can help us manage the terror we're up against with unrelenting antics and fast-paced theatrics. Watch out, many curves ahead! ”
  • Bite Me by Eliana Pipes
    28 Sep. 2023
    “ This play kept me on my toes with its realness, its depth, its 3-dimensional characters, its dialogue that is a treat for actors to play. I am completely impressed by how far Pipes goes to push the characters toward an incredibly satisfying conclusion. Wow! ”

    “ Great work. Intense, pulls the audience into the piece and never lets us go. Theatrical language, easily producible, unforgettable work. I highly recommend this moving piece about mass incarceration of Black youth, tragic and well crafted. I hope it gets produced everywhere. A must-see. ”
  • THE FERRIS WHEEL - a short play for both stage and radio by D. Lee Miller
    22 Aug. 2023
    “ Beautiful work with such well-written characters. Actors will have a great time with this! Moving and real, full of life and emotion. Well done! ”

    “ Wonderfully theatrical work. The American Suburbs deserves this play and all it dishes out, fuck by fuck. ”
