  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION: a Very Short Play About Children and Guns

    Written in 2019, this is horrifying, but YES! As artists we are here to respond to the world we are living in, and this is quite a moving response that I enjoyed tremendously. I hope it will get done! With a program full of locations!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Right Field of Dreams

    Such a sweet and wonderfully written play for a younger actor to play! And I love the ghost. And I love the coach and the twist about who the coach really is. And the monologue is wonderful too. All the feels in this beautiful piece!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: TAMBO & BONES

    A marvellous and theatrical (and meta-theatrical) dissection of race and class in the US with humor, joy, immense energy, performances to fill us up with all the rage and insanity of the past 400 years and then push us into the future. A great and amazing transformative play.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Dirty Laundry

    A deeply personal and beautifully moving play with a chorus! And I love a chorus and how they function in this play! I also love how difficult it is for the characters to communicate, how complex the grief is and the shifts in all the relationships as they navigate their losses. Wonderful work!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Hot Blood Sundae

    As a hard core carnivore, I care deeply for these seaweed-considering young women who are stuck in the patriarchal hell of No Potatoes. And this play is hilarious. And this play thrills me with desire and howling. Great theatrical language! LOVE!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: BIKE FOR $ALE!!! GREAT PRI¢E!!!

    My new favorite monologue! And I love the shift at the end because it not only offers the audience a sense of relief but gives the actor so much more to do. Now I want to go screaming into the anything to shake off the creeps!!!!!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: I Was A Stranger Too

    This is such a timely and necessary play with many urgent voices!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: I'm f*cking tired of writing plays about this

    I will never get tired of reading Rachel Lynett. She doesn't need anyone's permission to write whatever she wants to write, and she knows that. This play reminds me to put my heart onto my pages. And it will remind you too. Read it.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Divided Requiem (One Act)

    Losing a child puts a relationship in mortal jeopardy, and this is certainly a great exploration of that. It's richly nuanced and the well-drawn characters have deep wells of sorrow and anger to draw from in their very different ways. This keeps the tension extremely high. Very well done.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: MARTY SAVES HUMANITY

    This Back-to-the-Future script is a gem! What a wonderful idea and it works really well and takes me back to 1980 when I was crushing on Lily and Jane but never Dolly. It's a funny script that makes me think. Richter touches on many new technologies and ideas from the world today and how anachronistic they are back in 1980. Feels like yesterday, but it was way further back than that.
