  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Rotary Phone

    Super funny play about the near future meeting the past. Patience being one of the things to go, it takes a lot of time to dial a rotary phone. Even 20 years ago my grandmother had one, and I couldn't manage to deal with it. This will delight old and young with its comic dialogue and the vision of Ruthie in curlers!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Jack and Jill Beyond the Pail

    Super title, love the pun, and the concept is hilarious and works! Jack probably has a traumatic brain injury by now anyway.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Water and Blood

    Such a fascinating story, like driving past a wreck I had to slow down and take it all in. Beautifully written and incredibly dramatic.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: 10 Minutes

    A wonderfully bizarre comic look at a terrible situation that would be fascinating to see staged, to work on as an actor, or to direct. Hodges explores such a tough subject that might be the start of a full-length but also works as a stand alone ten minute play. And there are rhymes! The relationship between the mother and the daughter will fascinate audiences.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: THE LOVE ASTRONAUT

    The Love Astronaut is a visceral play that uses so many senses to pull us in and keep us there. I love the peach and the pie and the humor. The characters are fabulous! And the way it all comes together while the breaking of the fourth wall (and others) is so enjoyable! Will be incredible to see staged.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Impossibility of Now

    I love this play. It is so marvelously inventive and wonderful and theatrical and all my questions are answered in the strangest ways. I highly recommend this strange and delightful work.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Beheading Columbus

    Beheading Columbus is a very funny and poignant look at our access to our own DNA. How much information is too much information and what does it mean to find out all these scientific things about ourselves in the world today. I highly recommend this play for Burbano's ability to write fantastically entertaining characters in theatrical moments while always keeping it real. Brava!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Right Front Door - a monologue

    Wonderfully funny! I enjoyed this so much! Miller has a great ear and a great facility with comedy. Marjorie is a hoot! And her love life is hilarious! This would be a super monologue for an actor to work on and it would be great in performance. My favorite part is that he doesn't let go of the door - the idea of leaving and loss and holding on to our own detriment - a super metaphor!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Scratching the Surface

    Simpson has written quite a thriller that would be terrifying, edge-of-your-seat exciting to watch! The characters are filled with desires for normalcy that seem almost possible, and yet they aren't equipped to be what/who they want to be. It is strange and fascinating and will surely provoke a lot of talk afterwards.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Last Stalker (Ten Minute)

    What a beautiful play written with enormous restraint and love. AIDS really did change everything in so many ways and such a window into the difficult decisions that are made and what we do for love. So well done. Would be a wonderful piece for actors to work on.
