  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Wild Caught

    A beautiful exploration of the #metoo moment - poetic and simultaneously brutal, Wild Caught does not shy away from this controversial subject. Highly dramatic and easily producible, this would be a great addition to any short play festival celebrating the voices of women.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Little Gold Stars

    Fantastic play about the magical powers of a queer witch. I want to meet her and hang out. Super fun laugh out loud relief from our current crises. Thank you!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: CHURCH & STATE

    Not only is this highly producible, hilarious and wonderfully constructed, I was actually surprised by it. A truly enjoyable play that would be enormously theatrical and fun to see!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Apocalypse Dating Play

    This play is a brilliant exploration of real life in the guise of a game with a host (like the host of hosts?) and really high stakes (our lives). The challenge - whether or not we can open ourselves to each other in spite of our traumas so that we can survive. Winning depends on our abilities to be vulnerable! McCreary has created an intense play that I find highly relatable and true.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: STAR TRIPS!

    Hilarious! Definitely a lot of sex talk! And violence! Why do we all forget the violence when there's sex? Then we're like, don't let the kids watch, there's sex, when we shouldn't let them see the violence. But it's great - all of it! (not for kids)

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Way of Water

    Beautiful poetic play that shows the wreckage of what Deepwater left behind, the human toll. The language is stunning and heart-breaking!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Shiver and Shake

    Sweet yes, and funny too, but the ending is fantastic! I love the reveals I won't give away! You have to read it for yourself and love it too! Wonderful, moving and filled with charm!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: CANOPY

    A beautiful, even at times breathtaking play that will certainly help to move us toward more empathy not only toward older people which is so necessary these days, but also toward more empathy for all kinds of romantic pairings! Such a fabulous concept and so well written!
