  • 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!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Boogie on the Third Rail

    Brilliant work that helps us to remember, to take in and bear witness to the tragedies of our times. Anntares has enormous empathy for humanity and her work here is pitch perfect. Read it, watch it, produce it everywhere!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Wardrobe

    Mansfield's wordless play is a marvel of reversals, and with each change, there is more we write into the story of the play, so that as Rebecca changes her mind, we are filled with awe and wonder.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: CUBIST RODEO CLOWNING

    Enormous fun to be had in this ten minute play perfect for any festival. From the rodeo-clowning on a suitcase instead of a steed to the marvelous dialogue, Charles Scott Jones solves a number of dramaturgical issues in this short hilarious play. The characters are well-drawn and specific. They all want something, and every role is a good one to play. A director would have a blast with this!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: she was once most beautiful

    This New York City play is filled with the real and the physical / the magical and the dream-like and mythic. As Karuc lets these worlds/imaginings collide, theatricality, humor and pure enjoyment ensue. This is a thrilling play that ponders big questions.
