  • the day we were born by Jaisey Bates
    25 Aug. 2019
    “ This play is probably one of the most remarkable and important plays of the century. We should all read it. I hope it will be produced everywhere and often and become part of the canon because it is an urgent and appealing, beautifully written and conceived theatrical event for all of us. Not to be missed! ”
  • Blue by Emily Hageman
    22 Aug. 2019
    “ This is a stunning short play that deserves every accolade! The reveals page after page move us toward so great an understanding of how the way we see things shape us in the most profound ways. Hageman has given the world a remarkable piece of art that should be produced often! Stunning! ”
  • You Haven't Changed A Bit by Donna Hoke
    22 Aug. 2019
    “ Spot on! No wonder it's had so many productions and won so many awards - this is wonderfully relatable in all the best ways. I love the ending. I love that Len remembers how everyone died. There's no sugar-coating here, and it makes for a poignant and truthful piece that will touch everyone in the audience. Kudos! ”
  • The Cult of Domina by Tori Lassman
    21 Aug. 2019
    “ With great pleasure I recommend this transgressively filthy play that looks at the rise of the Nazis from the vantage of the sex workers servicing them. The language is fantastic. The scenes are hold-your-breath dramatic. I look forward to seeing it onstage! ”
  • The Ghosts of Wuthering Heights: A Literary Haunted House by Melissa Bell
    19 Aug. 2019
    “ Dramatic and immersive way to tell this story from each character's point of view. All of it sheds illuminating light on a well-loved story! This would be a wonderful leaping off place for creative collaborations. I look forward to seeing it onstage! ”
  • The Night Witches by Rachel Bublitz
    18 Aug. 2019
    “ This is a marvelously well-written dramatic piece that shows how the Night Witches - the female airplane pilots who fought for Russia - flew missions to bomb Germany during WWII. It is intense and wonderfully paced. Beautiful ensemble work - it would be great to see staged! ”
  • Dignity by Toby Tieger
    16 Aug. 2019
    “ Dignity is a fascinating play about a mother daughter relationship that is incredibly out of sync. Tieger's staging ideas would serve the play well and increase our sense of their disconnection. I love the mother's outburst that she explains away instead of owning - Tieger is marvelous with details like this to give us a full sense of what is looming underneath it all. Well done. ”
  • Attachment Disorder by Hallie Palladino
    12 Aug. 2019
    “ Absolutely brilliant satire on motherhood, the early months, and if it wasn't so spot on, and if I hadn't already lived it word for word, I woulda laughed my ass off, but it's so true!!!! I still wish I'd moved to Sweden to raise my little sprout! This would be fantastic in any short play festival and should be produced often! ”
  • MY LEFT BREAST by Susan Miller
    12 Aug. 2019
    “ I am so thrilled to be able to recommend this play because it was my introduction to the work of Susan Miller, and I saw it when she toured with it in Iowa, and it stays with me because it is a powerful piece of honest lived experience and transformation that transforms its audience. It certainly transformed me. We should all be so lucky to see it and know it and let it inspire us all. ”
  • The Sun, The Moon, and Talia by Ian Thal
    11 Aug. 2019
    “ I have a favorite moment in this play that I cannot reveal and spoil it for another, but this is well worth its 21 pages! As a lover of fairy tales, it is a pleasure to read this well-researched tale adapted here. Even if it isn't for children anymore (evil laughter, mwahahahaha...) This would be fantastic onstage! Marvelous! ”
