  • LADY CAPULET by Melissa Bell
    3 Apr. 2018
    “ A story for our time! Lady Capulet takes us back to before R&J to the beginning of the feud and provides the most wonderful story of a young lady, Rose, from the country brought to the big city of Verona for her brother's marriage and the trouble she gets into and has to get herself out of. . . Rose is a wonderful character to root for, living by her own wits. Her journey illuminates all that Juliet has to put up with later on. The play is a triumph! In rep with R&J or on its own! ”
  • HARDBALL by Victoria Stewart
    2 Apr. 2018
    “ Hard-hitting, fascinating look at the news and the people who are embroiled in making the news and shaping the news for our country and politics. Could not be more timely even though it's not new. This is a play to take another look at. ”
  • White Wash by Suzanne Willett
    1 Apr. 2018
    “ Love this short play - it is very visual and conceptual - and it plays beautifully! So much fun for actors! Willett has a mind that works in many directions at once. Fascinating and heartbreaking when you realize what is going on. ”
  • Family by Celine Song
    28 Mar. 2018
    “ This play goes to the heart of traumatic family life in a beautiful, darkly comic, sculpted way. I love Song's facility with language, image and composition. She writes gorgeously for characters with massive subtext. This is probably one of the closest theatrical experiences I've had reflecting my own family life. And perhaps this means I project when I say that Family feels universal, but the play is so alive and open to a multiplicity of interpretations and avenues of connection, I challenge others to see if it feels universal to them. ”
  • Family Planning by John Minigan
    27 Mar. 2018
    “ Powerful play that makes us uncomfortable in all the right ways! We get so many subtle signals about who this family is and how hard it is for the mother to make this decision, and then Minigan goes one step further - I'm not giving it away - an eventful piece! Well done. ”
  • Johnny 10 Beers' Daughter by Dana Lynn Formby
    21 Mar. 2018
    “ The language in this play stands out and makes it easy to recommend. This moving story of a father daughter relationship is one of the strongest plays about war I've ever read. ”
  • AFTER THE THIN MAN (Stella and Sylvia Seek Success) by Shellen Lubin
    21 Mar. 2018
    “ This play is so much fun! I saw a reading, and it is a true tour-de-force opportunity for any female actor playing Stella who was larger-than-life in life and is imagined here as big as she was - a tower of power full of drama and theatricality! It speaks to the power of theatre in a beautiful way that lifts us all up! ”
  • MIT A FIDDLE IN THE MIDDLE by CJ Ehrlich
    21 Mar. 2018
    “ This is so much fun! I love the characters and the set-up, and it really moves me! I mean, it's a marvelous comedy, and yet I found myself full of longing and nostalgia and wonder at the beauty of it all. The way she shows us so much about life itself, what Molly went through, what the extras had to contend with, life then - and of course relating it all to life today, and so little has changed. Wonderfully imagined! ”
  • Abortion Road Trip by Rachel Lynett
    20 Mar. 2018
    “ I love this play and how theatrical it is - how it takes what could be a very static situation (a long road trip) - and turns it into a way to understand the lengths we have to go to to take care of ourselves today. I love the complexity of the choices these characters face. I would love to see this staged! ”
  • Lady Ott's Snapshots by DS Magid
    16 Mar. 2018
    “ I found this to be utterly delightful, filled with the hoi polloi of the Bloomsbury days, I adored the sex (and attempts at sex) from Lady Ott's honeymoon all the way through to the end, and I found the language thrilling - especially the Ott/Russell scenes! Imaginative and charming - I hope someone produces it soon! ”
