A tour de force of a tour, Guo writes with marvelous strangeness. As a mother with a son, I have to say that this rings so true for me. I could truly relate! And it's wildly funny and true to life, even as it warps time, space, and addresses history and colonization. Wonderful, moving work!

A deep exploration of race in America with such compelling and specific characters and a great sense of humor. Hung has an authentic voice and the ability to show us the problem with concision and a feeling of truth conveyed through characters pursuing their objectives. Excellent work.

I love this well-written solo show that takes us on a coming of age journey with Bob, an autistic young man, who has to come to terms with the painful end to his first sexual relationship. The narrative drive had me at the edge of my seat. I really care about Bob and what he's going through. The whole piece feels authentic and brave. Bravo!

A beautifully crafted play that creates a detailed mosaic of colonialism by looking at one family's colonialist actions that stand in for whole countries. PASSING shows how easy it was/still is in many ways for settlers to take what isn't theirs and assume they are doing something wholesome and good. Shocking and horrifying, the story draws us in, and in the most poetic of ways, breaks our hearts.

The moral questions raised in this play are really important, and the play itself is filled with moments of tenderness, love and hope. I am moved by the relationship at its center and enjoy how Mabey keeps us guessing as to where the play might take us, how love and loss play out over time, and how humanity might be able to learn from technology as we respond to and learn from what it could offer. Such an imaginative piece! A beautiful play.

This is a fascinating 1 act that I would love to see a second act for - that dinner especially. Yes! I love the G-d stuff, the pressure it exerts, and there are some amazing lines I don't ever want to forget, lines I wish I'd written. This is wonderful work, great characters with deep dynamics between them. History that exists in every line in the subtext. Important work for so many reasons like how hard it is still for so many of us to be out and to be able to heal from the culture we live in.

This is a beautiful epic play that is so moving. A political thriller and a love story. A story of authenticity in a dangerous world. I love the way Sickles captures my attention with the quirky character of Teddy and his imagination of the deepest part of the sea and creates a metaphor about camouflage and the dangers of true love in an unsafe world. So relatable.

A beautiful play about a father and a daughter who are strong enough to enjoy each other's strengths while standing up to each other. The injuries are metaphorical and meaningful, and the characters gain strength in the playing through relating to each other. I love how the play breaks the fourth wall and gives the audience so much attention. Ruyle creates a lot of complexity in a form that is often void of nuance. Well done!

Very funny and specific piece that would be a blast to work on as a monologue. Can be done by anyone. And yet the quirk factor that Cameron delves into should be a good reason to do this. I mean it's quirky in a good way.

A beautiful exploration of a communal memory created with an ensemble of fully alive characters in various life-stages (multigenerational) and with great pacing and drive, a journey to an island they may never reach, a wanting, a longing that is a kind of nostalgia for an imagined future all the while the past slips behind. I am fascinated by this play and will probably keep re-reading it.
