  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Photos with my Rapist: A One-Minute Monologue

    So true! I have a photo of me with my rapist on my bookshelf right now! We're dancing at a cousin's wedding! This is great because it makes people stop and think - hey, this happens. A lot! So relatable!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Gray Play

    Devastating. I live near Kingsbridge - the one in the Bronx - even if I don't actually live in the Bronx. There is a drawbridge to get there - I've seen it open. I've sat in the traffic when it opens and boats pass beneath it. Only in summer though. The ocean comes up on the tides and fills the river (the Harlem river). I love a play that reminds me of my own sense of sadness, a play that ends with a question and before that a kind of

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Grown-Ass Louis

    I feel just like Grown-Ass Louis all the time. My mother died when I was young, and it's unbearable to go on living further and further away from her death every moment of every day. And Grown-Ass Louis feels the same way as far as I can tell in this funny, mordant play - I don't think I've ever used that word before. It means biting and makes me think of Grown-Ass Louis's mother and her ass-cheek. I have to say I really like this play!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Endlings

    I love this play, and the artistry that Song invests in it! I find this play in conversation with the forces that push me toward and propel me away from the brick wall that I keep throwing myself against called American Theatre. Theatrical, meta, moving and stunning on so many levels, the performance at NYTW will stay with me forever. Thank you for such an expansive, thrilling piece!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: THE APPOINTMENT

    Very funny and a super slice of life that cuts into the heart of this couple and their marriage. It's very relatable! And I love that Carnes really creates the world onstage and simultaneously brings the backstory to life. Well done!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: An Unquiet Past (Original title: Scar Tissues)

    A very satisfying play that starts off with all kinds of micro-aggressions from the passive aggressive husband and ends up with a moment of recognition that, I am very relieved to report, works! Well done! A tough subject to tackle, Triplett works hard to push the action as far as it will go.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Take the K Train

    A strange little play that keeps you guessing all the way through! I love the discoveries that Winston makes as he tries to make sense of his reality, or is that surreality? Spooky!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Mirrors

    This beautiful play had me from the start with its language, the sense of a whole world, a community policing queer women, and the character of Bird Wilson whose strength and struggle adds enormous dimension to this drama about a young girl who loses her mother. How we deal with loss is explored in a very moving way.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Blades

    I saw this produced in NYC. This is a wonderful vehicle for 2 actors. They had a great time with it! This is a very enjoyable way to deal with the difficulties of the haves and the have-nots, and super creative too!
