Brilliant play about the nature of our existence that plays with an audience member - I always love that! There is such a facility with dialogue, and humor, and the form follows the function. A wonderful exercise that makes me feel better about being human and ignorant and alone.

Here is a beautiful and healing play! Love these two sisters dealing with the deaths of their parents in the only ways they know how! So specific so that we get the entire history of their pasts without a moment of exposition - the dialogue is rendered for humor and forward motion, the stakes rising constantly as we learn all that is going to happen if they don't get their s*&^t together. Schlomann is able to give us large Truths through ordinary people struggling with massive life lemons. Kudos!

This is one of those impossible to perform pieces that I wish I could see onstage - it has so much humor and heart, and it would be a huge hit, but it also demands a costly prop and breakage, so while I think we can all appreciate it's absurdities and capital T Truths, I fear its concept keeps it relegated to readings. But it has created such a warm feeling in me toward Schlomann, I will read more of her, and I suggest you do too!

This brilliant adaptation of Mrs. Dalloway feels particularly relevant considering the flu pandemic of 1918 and symptoms of Long Covid seem so similar. And women are still treated like children. But what is remarkable is how Schwartz handles the internal sequences of the novel on stage and uses choral sequences, physicality, and the introduction of TS Eliot's poetry to add to the swell of events in a very Woolfian manner. The love between Septimus and Evans is thrilling and poignant, and I can't wait to see it staged!

Laugh out loud fabulous! Oh, the way it ends! I will not give it away, but this is so much fun, and would be so much fun to play! If only I were a teenage boy! If always! This should be done a lot. I hope this will be done a lot. Heartbreaking and true and real and awkward and all the things.

Here is a fascinating drama about what Miep Gies and others have to go through to protect the Frank family during WWII, and the story of how Anne Frank's diary was saved. Resistance to popular sentiment is not easy, and this play is inspiring!

My heart leaps! Bohannon sets up so many great opportunities for the thing we want to happen to happen, and then it gets interrupted, just like life! This is a wonderfully exhilarating play! In terms of kisses, I think Bohannon gives Weaver a run for his money. Or maybe there should be a festival of kissing plays!!! That would be amazing! Produce this everywhere and spread the joy!

Definitely for the sick and twisted, The Dieting of Anne Frank: An Autocorrected Play is also really funny and silly and wonderfully odd. I think it is a great idea to make autocorrected plays. I think there should be an entire festival of them. An evening of classics autocorrected! Busser's mind is bursting at the seams, and I so enjoyed this!

Hilarious! And if anyone is looking for a great example of what to send to PlayingonAir, this is truly it! Study how quirky and specific it is. Study the humor, what she's doing in the minds of her audience, and how she subverts subverts subverts - she is a wonderfully subversion playwright, and I adore her work for it!

My son's name is Eddie so I was afraid to read this, but I'm glad I did (it doesn't mention my son at all)! FUNNY and such a great send-up. Richter has a great ability to use this genre to his advantage and his sense of humor really shows through. Quite a pleasure. Would be a hit at any festival.
