DeVita is really good at getting audiences to care about his characters right outta the gate, and that feeling makes his work hard to resist! Even if his protagonist is someone you might ignore IRL, he becomes an Everyman you want to root for. It's an impossibly awful office environment DeVita fills with biting humor, but the core of the play is so relatable!

Such a beautiful play all accomplished without dialogue! Pynn's story is so clear, and I love that she takes us past the confines of American Naturalism into fantasy so that we can soar with the stakes and the heights of the possibilities of best outcome here. The Train is an inspirational play!

Wonderful! Funny! The twist at the end works great! Sam works really really hard to get what she wants, and that's the kind of hard work that pays off in a play, because it adds to the tension that the task is not easy, and it keeps the stakes high and shows the depth of her character and just how far she's willing to go. The twist is the icing on the cake because it seems like such a surprise, and then the ending is inevitable in retrospect. Just what you want in a 10 minute play!

This is a powerful and moving story of a family coming together across race against the backdrop of integration in the South, and I was blown away by the dialogue, the story and the characters. Read it and produce it! So relevant!

Beautifully written and conceived fairy tale about trying to keep the world from flying apart even after it has flown! Here is a great metaphor that is at once adventurous, strange and comforting. It will make a fantastic show! So theatrical and so much to love!

BRILLIANT play that makes us examine our own ideologies and ideas of free speech in a thrilling edge-of-our-seat play that never lets up. Intensity on every page! What an amazing show I've love to see and talk about afterwards all night long!

I especially love the part about how none of our stories are true, but then that depends on what you mean by true. A very inspirational story that is about the stories we live our lives by. The other thing I love about this play is the craft Berman uses to let characters try out what they want on other characters so that they are ready for it when they get the chance to really get what they want. It's a great strategy! Read this! It will inspire you!

This is why they call him Jolly! A Very Funny Play that does not stop! Flawlessly constructed! Easy to produce! From the pineapple onward, I was hooked!

A beautifully written story of 3 sisters who grow up and survive the war and go on to have families and eventually die. It is the scope of their lives that is shown to us in a series of movements composed with music and jokes for a physical cabaret-style play that flows from moment to moment shedding light on how we lived. I can't help but consider it an origin story, a mythic Chagall-like collage of floating moments that end too soon like life itself!

Well written with character-based dialogue that moves the play forward. The student who interrupts actually gets a decent role to play with consequences and choices that matter in the overall scheme of the narrative which forces the issues to come forward in what feels like an organic part of the story. Well done!
