  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: A Clue in the Library

    Such a fun theatrical piece! I am a huge Clue fan, so I got every reference! Hayet has a blast solving this murder, but no one I fear can solve the mysteries and crimes of the power structure that created adjunct professor-ing. I look forward to reading more of his work!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: How I Knew Her

    Beautiful play that I am a better off for having read. This is doing so much that plays can do, with its language, its characters, its theatricality especially in terms of its props which would be exciting to create. Costa writes with great sincerity and insight. I highly recommend it!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Renewables

    Yowza! This! What a fun and terrifying play that subversively attacks conformity! I love it! The well-drawn characters do exactly what they want to do as the stakes are raised all around them. Every line is motivated even as it gives us a completely new world. No explaining. Nothing is wasted. It should be in every festival! A gift to humanity!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Age of Reason in the City of Angels

    A fun comedy that takes a period approach to fake news, automation, the rise of technology causing massive layoffs, and plagues! There is a strong lead role for a young female actor. This would be so much fun to see produced! Feels super-relevant!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: UNMUTE ME!

    There are reasons why Rich Orloff's collection of his most popular short plays are so popular - read them and find out! Seriously or hilariously, they work brilliantly. I cried. I laughed. I cried again. I cheered myself back up with more laughter. His mother was right, he's a genius!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Asterisk Kisses

    Weaver has done it again! Woven a tale of kisses that moves me, and I am so not romantic. He is a true kissing genius! This piece surprises and lands beautifully.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: FLOATING BUBBLES

    Adorable! Levine has a flair for the physical comedy, and I wondered where he'd go with it while I laughed and laughed, and there he went, straight to the heart. All things are possible in Levine's universe. A delight!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: I'll Be Zooming You

    Sweet play for Zoom with 2 endings (as in either/or, not a false one then a real one). Both endings work equally well and show flexibility. Strayer is thinking about how Zoom functions - matching the content to the medium!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Sentence - 10 Minute Play

    Kaminski is a strategist concerned with how the audience receives the play. From the character breakdown forward, he does a great job in The Sentence creating reveals that keep us involved, with dramatic question after question, so that as the play unfolds we receive maximum enjoyment even as our allegiances shift. Well done!
