  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Before We Were Bake Sale Pies (3 Min Play)

    A marvelous sensory experience that would be so much fun for the actors involved and the audience. Longing and loss poetically compete with ideas on objectification and pleasure. Buy these pies!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: LOVE YOURSELF!!!!

    I LOVE THIS PLAY! What a fun, physical, fabulous play! This would be an amazing and energizing addition to any short pay festival with great roles for women. A kick-ass monologue! And a super ending. Totally relatable. Great work!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: AFIKOMAN

    Ah, we all can get so stuck while hiding! This is a beautiful new one-act that delves deeply into family trauma in a loving and theatrical way. This is also a healing journey that will be quite effective and moving onstage. Beautiful work!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: WORDS TO THAT EFFECT

    A beautiful play about how a young man becomes a drag queen. With super roles for both characters. Lush language, Lavinia quotes famous men throughout to great effect that might be quite comic, as she tags it all with the possibility that she's getting it all wrong. But whether or not she got it right, her son adores her. This is an homage full of love to triumph over the hardships they both suffered.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: A Christmas Pickle

    Goosebumps! This is a wonderfully touching play that works its backstory to great advantage. It's hard to have a play based on what to do about something that we never see happen, but Incrocci handles it really well, using everything that happened last night to great effect in the current scene. I love the ending!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Vault

    Wonderful work! I love the ideas and the relationship and how the exposition is there but without any strings - we know so much about them without being told. Super characters well-delineated and great reasons that their love might survive the icy year...

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Ashes in the Allegheny

    I love a play about grief, and this is so much more. The characters are wonderfully fleshed out, and the sense of place informs all the actions. The stakes are high. It's a ghost story, a haunting, a thriller of a story. Great work!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Voyage To Nowhere

    Mackling does a great job keeping the mystery of this play mysterious. The reveal feels fresh and raw. I appreciate the spare dialogue and Tate's refusal to let Siena in for good reasons. It feels urgent and exciting and would be great for two actors to work on.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Bagged

    A perfect comic gem in 60 seconds! Wonderful work! As a dog parent and poop-picker-upper, there are big philosophical truths in here along with the fun, scatalogical ending!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: My Perfectly Valid Objections

    Wow - watching Terri and Doug get off to a rocky start will be hilarious! Terri puts Doug through the rollercoaster of her fears while Doug has to hold on without a seatbelt. This is a very funny first date's first ten minutes thanks to Gillette's great dialogue and the way she creates Terri's character. I look forward to reading more of her work.
