  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Baddest Kid on Emerson

    Wow, this is a tremendously theatrical play that will be a brilliant addition to any short play festival. The roles are great and the language intense. The cruelty on display, the sheer lack of compassion through a kind of hero worship is a comment on our society that will sink in deep by the end of this piece.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Zombie Barbie (a monologue)

    Zombie Barbie is a mad invention by Lee R. Lawing who infuses her with humor and theatricality and eternal walking on her plastic legs (and probably in heels too since her feet are shaped that way)! This would be a blast for an actor and a super addition to any festival, Halloween or just regular festival looking to help us realize how our plastic toys are eating us alive!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Antagonism, or, Some People Like to P*ss in the Pool [a 1-minute play]

    A play for people with difficult co-workers or manipulative family members or basically everyone who needs the reminder that we don't have to let them get to us! Well done!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Abandonment [a 1-minute play]

    What can happen in a minute? Read Abandonment to find out! This 1-minute-play is an entire experience in only 1 minute and can be interpreted in so many ways for any kind of actor especially written for LGBTQ people who struggle so terribly with our place on this earth. It also makes me wonder who is doing the abandoning? Society seems to have struck the first and many blows to inspire what Hugh does. Beautiful work.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Tiny Daggers

    Fabulously theatrical, cringey and hilarious! I thoroughly enjoyed Tiny Daggers. The director is so clueless as to how to be woke! A thousand racist notions fill this play and insist on the inevitable consequences. Wonderfully done!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Baby Einstein on the Beach

    While I loved Einstein on the Beach when I saw it years ago, I also love Baby Einstein on the Beach because it is fabulous and moving and takes a lot less time than the other one. It will be awesome to see onstage. It's also hugely relatable.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: 1101 WELLINGTON WAY - DUOLOGUE (from the MAD FOR MYSTERY Collection)

    An intriguing play about neighbors and how strange it is to live among strangers, the connections and disconnections, and who is responsible for what in close proximity. The noir style and direct address to the audience lends it a great air of mystery and simultaneously a feeling of intimacy for the audience that contrasts with the distance - metaphorically - between the actual characters. Well-plotted and enjoyable to the very last!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: THE FERRIS WHEEL - a short play for both stage and radio

    25 years of marriage in a short play that sings of dreams and losses, griefs and joys. The Ferris Wheel is a metaphor for the turns of life. Miller fills this play with so many shared moments so that like the ride itself, we are moved to get to the end sooner than expected. Beautiful work!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: When the Dodgers Left Brooklyn

    This is a beautiful play that filled me with so many feelings - the idea of an adoptive mother being predetermined is such a joy to experience! There is a great poignancy as one life ends and another's begins. D. Lee Miller captures so much and so wonderfully in this play with light about the nature of human relationships and how we wish we could stay forever connected. Wow!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Rooster Poker

    A wonderfully surreal experience of a theatrical event, play is too small a word for it. Rooster Poker is marvelously bizarre in the way most families are, undecipherable in a must read the whole play in one sitting kind of way. Rooster Poker would be a great evening with much to discuss afterwards. Urgent and brilliant!
