  • Tight Curls Today by Jennifer Barclay
    30 Dec. 2017
    “ Beautiful play about the lives of three women under the hair dryers at the salon. Takes us from before they are all married to the ends of their lives and their losses - I found it moving and so well written. The most economic flawless dialogue that reveals so much! ”
  • The Last Match by Anna Ziegler
    26 Dec. 2017
    “ Brilliantly drawn characters who are fascinating and thrilling simultaneously. I was rooting for them all. This play covers so much ground, and it was a pleasure to see on its feet. ”
  • The High Cost of Heating by Craig Thornton
    22 Dec. 2017
    “ Very funny and yes, very Ionesco-like play about the current state of our lives as overwhelmed, in-debt, middle class Americans. My favorite line is, "the point is, we're Americans, and we should be able to take a bath when ever we want!" I would love to see this staged! ”
  • The Family Claxon by Eric Coble
    16 Dec. 2017
    “ A very funny - hilarious - romp through the American Suburbs and the people who live there including some wonderfully drawn characters with great lines and great business that will be tons of fun onstage! ”
  • Tom & Eliza by Celine Song
    12 Dec. 2017
    “ One of my favorite plays ever! I love the language. I love the humor and the way this play exposes all of humanity for what we really are - animals! And while I admire Wally Shawn, I bet Wally Shawn wishes he had written this play! A must read! And very produce-able! ”
  • Meet Murasaki Shikibu Followed by Book-Signing, and Other Things by Julia Izumi
    8 Dec. 2017
    “ I saw this at the NYC Fringe and was inspired by the character of Murasaki who is larger-than-life in many ways and yet completely human. Brava to Julia Izumi for creating her and bringing her to life in such surprising ways. A real treat! ”
  • Policarpa: Apocalypse Sur Amerikka by Diana Burbano
    8 Dec. 2017
    “ Beautiful play about women in power, so timely and timeless, with images to dream of forever! Gorgeously wrought! I applaud Diana for her vision and her ability to create such a multi-layered world, characters I will never forget, mystery and magic. ”
  • TREASURE, a musical reimagining of RL Stevenson's Treasure Island by Melissa Bell
    7 Dec. 2017
    “ This is a beautifully written, concise version, of Treasure Island. I love the character of the parrot! It is a great story, and this book allows for so many more female roles! ”
  • LUST & LIES (full length) by Robin Rice
    24 Nov. 2017
    “ I'm happy to recommend this gem of a 3-hander period piece that 29th Street Playwrights Collective just produced as a rehearsed reading because it is a compelling story with a very brave and outspoken female protagonist fighting for agency in a world where women were not given much freedom. The play has some beautifully theatrical moments, humor, and tension between the characters. I also enjoy the tension Rice provides that adds to my anticipation for what will happen. ”
  • Flying by Sheila Cowley
    18 Nov. 2017
    “ A moving story with strong female characters who I love, and then the moments of theatricality keep me enthralled - a play I'll always remember. ”
