  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Goodnight

    Hilarious play! From the premise to the end, it's the kind of thing where the audience ends up in the aisles rolling around helplessly. This is life in the city, a terrible nightmare, a real reality, all with brilliant timing, time passing, dialogue, subtext, great moments. . . and the stench!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Ripped

    What a great job Bublitz does to keep us all on the edge of our seats! I love the structure and how time moves. I love how she takes us from college to home and the ex-boyfriend, creating such a wrenching experience of that time before we're grown but already flown - a very unsettling work of art.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: FUCK BUDDY: THE MONOLOGUE

    Such a great monologue it makes me wish I could act! So much to play with! This is dramatic and hilarious and full of need and pathos. I get the whole picture, the cold apartment, the other character, all of it. Very. Well. Done.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: And the Universe Didn't Blink

    There is so much in this play to recommend it - wonderful characters I care about, fascinating story with history and science and the beauty of the distant parts of the world, distance as a thing between people and how to close that distance, loss as too big to fathom and how to begin to manage that loss, change and transformation and beautiful theatrical moments! What a gift Haas has!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Spaced Out

    An adorable and theatrical short play for young children. A true story told with verve and some really fun details and compassion for the animals!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Hallmark Man Card

    I thoroughly enjoyed this play about young men struggling with their feelings and the social expectations to keep those feelings hidden. Hageman has created a highly theatrical play that uses drama - and the fantastic behavior of these young men - to great effect, to show us their struggle in both a serious and comic way. The laughter is merely the first layer of what is going on here. I am applauding enthusiastically!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Las Mujeres

    You gotta love women who keep shot glasses and tequila under their skirts! From the heart-wrenching premise in the first scene with two wonderful characters, to the party full of famous Latinas, the play is a theatrical feast.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: IN TRAINING

    Very funny piece of theater! With well-written dialogue, and clear characters. And the whole thing happens in the dark! The metaphor works wonderfully and sets up a host of issues that will keep any audience on edge and entertained down to the very last word!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: TATO BIEN!

    I really enjoy what Greer is doing with language to create a whole world with a lot of sensory detail where Hunter makes a series of dramatic decisions that change him based on his encounter with his ex-girlfriend. Powerful work!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Sebastian and Chloe

    There is a brilliant truth to be found inside this poignant and moving and then hilarious play that would be so much fun to do - imagine the rehearsals!
