Yes! In only one minute, Shenoy gets us to check our assumptions again and creates a play about race that is brief enough and to the point enough to actually stick!

Ashes to Ashes is such a compelling play for its flawed characters in the midst of a life challenge, one of those hinge moments that will change them both - I love work like this where the exposition becomes the ammunition that moves the relationship forward. And the ending gives us a chance to experience (through unsentimentally clear language) the possibilities for these characters, their healings and ours.

The Sentence is a wonderfully deep play about grief that uses puppets and meta-theatrical effects to help us all get closer to the terrifyingly enormous experience of losing a child. Seriously fabulous work!

The thrill of coming out excites me every time! This is so much fun and so relatable. It may seem like it's easy to do, but it isn't. Heyman has created specific characters who are each trying to advance their own objectives with their own quirks - love Jessica's neurodiversity! Her ability to say what she thinks and sees without filter is great!

Shakespeare creeps me out - ever read his Rape of Lucrece? But this is FABULOUS! Wow - what a great idea and a beautiful script! Let it be produced often and everywhere!

Beautiful, theatrical, whimsical, funny, whistful and heartfelt - I was moved. I love clowns. I love the idea of lost performers, lost dreams, lost energies and lost tickets and the promise and potential of being found. Great work!

A gorgeous monologue, so simple yet so theatrical too. How my heart beats for her.

Very funny 1MP about people waiting for the train. I love that Smith externalizes the thoughts.

Caridad Svich is always trying to get us to dream, to imagine, to hope, and this play, The Sadness of Johnny Depp does that in several ways. I love the voices in this play, the rhythms, the tango of the lovers - will they connect or will they break apart? Read it!

A gentle play about gender dysphoria, I love that the characters are trying so hard not to upset each other and yet trying to be authentic with the people we love is so upsetting and difficult sometimes. Lamedman explores rich material with such an open heart! Love this!
