  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Touch/Starved

    A beautiful monologue about the need for intimacy, the missing, the loneliness and the humanity of it all.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: THE CROSSWORD PLAY (or Ezmeranda's Gift)

    Beautiful work filled with metaphors and double meanings like any puzzle should be! Easy to produce and filled with juicy moments. A great vehicle for any female actor!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Babeland

    I love Babeland. Travis has created a raw and raucous reflection of the all-female rock band and the exciting adventures of real life struggles collide with dreams. Babeland is bold, brave, wild fun along with the dark underbelly. Hugely theatrical too!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Two Tickets to Delray Beach

    Ooph, this play (content warning) is the great American story of addiction, lies and childhood sexual assault. Things disappear, and Linda lies about where they went. Her police officer husband should be tracking her every move. There is so much dysfunction here, and every character is making incredibly bad choices, and it's a horror show for Leo. I look forward to the sequel to see how things turn around. Yet Two Tickets stands on its own and takes on narcissism and selfishness in a way I've never seen before and the outcome is inevitable.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: URGE FOR GOING

    I have loved this play since I first became aware of it. A stunning portrait of a family of refugees and their reality, hopes. dreams and needs. Beautifully written. It should be done more often! It is still so unfortunately relevant!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: WHEN THEY SEE ME (ONE ACT VERSION)

    THIS! It's a great concept but Burke is also able to make it much more than a parlor trick - this has legs and moves me. Hell, it carries me along into some fabulous territory - our racist world - in a new way. This creates meaning and takes the piece and its audience to a whole other level of real. I look forward to seeing it staged! MUST BE PRODUCED. Burke is a treasure!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: 20TH CENTURY BLUES

    A beautiful tribute to women and middle age and life itself - how we are all growing older and how we live in an agist/sexist culture that never seems to consider that we will all be older one day. Miller paints gorgeous portraits of each character with their words, and their lives appear before us in so much subtext and care. A gift and a blessing.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Our Play

    First off just the way Moss presents the characters in the breakdown is thrilling. High School! Second it's a concept you have to slap your head and feel dumb for not at least considering. Third Moss pulls it off brilliantly! With surprises galore! SO STUNNING! DO NOT MISS THIS. If only we were all producing this play instead of Our Town for like the next 50 years everywhere, and after that maybe we could do it in rep with Our Town, but first only this. READ IT. DO IT. REPEAT. (<3)

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Toilet Fire

    I saw this at Abrons Arts Center in 2015 and laughed uproariously with the rest of the sold out crowd. This is such a hilarious play about poop structured as a church service that really plays with the audience and our expectations with direct address and Bent's truly playful sense of humor. Unforgettable!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Clyt; or, The Bathtub Play

    I seriously adore Clyt: or, The Bathtub Play for the ingenious ways Speckman takes us behind the scenes of the Oresteia to show us Clytemnestra's world. As we are today FINALLY waking up to the fact that there is a female side to these ancient tales, Speckman's Clyt is one of the most thrilling re-imaginings providing so much of what we never got to see for millenia! Curious about Helen of Troy? The truth about Cassandra? First rate roles for actors to explore and a spareness that directors will love. PRODUCE PRODUCE PRODUCE!
