  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Romeo & Her Sister

    Romeo & Her Sister is exciting and super-theatrical! I was thrilled by the story and the language and love-love-love how Blevins brings history, lesbians, and Shakespeare together to entertain and inspire us all! The pacing works beautifully. The sheer thrill of the drama, and how the sisters are sisterly instead of sinister - so charming, I am smitten!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: stains

    Fabulous romp of a comedy about a teen's coming of age that warms my heart! Bilingual and specific and yet so universal in its specificity! It will be hilarious onstage. Menstrual plays are as necessary as tampons! I hope it gets produced soon and often!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Fascists and the People Who Kill Them

    We need this play now! Funny and very well-written. Fascism is no joke, but this dark comedy can help us manage the terror we're up against with unrelenting antics and fast-paced theatrics. Watch out, many curves ahead!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Bite Me

    This play kept me on my toes with its realness, its depth, its 3-dimensional characters, its dialogue that is a treat for actors to play. I am completely impressed by how far Pipes goes to push the characters toward an incredibly satisfying conclusion. Wow!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: 18

    Great work. Intense, pulls the audience into the piece and never lets us go. Theatrical language, easily producible, unforgettable work. I highly recommend this moving piece about mass incarceration of Black youth, tragic and well crafted. I hope it gets produced everywhere. A must-see.

    Beautiful work with such well-written characters. Actors will have a great time with this! Moving and real, full of life and emotion. Well done!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: world is a fuck

    Wonderfully theatrical work. The American Suburbs deserves this play and all it dishes out, fuck by fuck.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Hangups

    Real and lovely and perfect for Zoom. The title resonates in several ways. Groustra has a knack for dialogue that moves quickly and creates rhythms the actors would have a great time performing. I look forward to reading more of Groustra's work.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Rite of Passage

    Wonderful and heart-warming, how to manage very hard things with grace and humor. The characters are in turmoil and the stakes are high. I appreciate the autism depicted in a way that really felt true to my own autistic experience and resonates for me along with the loss and the grief and confusion for a young person to deal with loss... what a beautiful play!
