  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: You Haven't Changed A Bit

    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!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Cult of Domina

    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!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Ghosts of Wuthering Heights: A Literary Haunted House

    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!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Night Witches

    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!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Dignity

    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.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Attachment Disorder

    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!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: MY LEFT BREAST

    I am so thrilled to be able to recommend this play because it was my introduction to the work of Susan Miller. 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.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Sun, The Moon, and Talia

    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!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Window

    When people wonder why the 10-minute play, we must all point them to this one! A feast! A philosophy! A slice of life so juicy and brilliant, I boggle at the mind of Tristen Canfield. What a wonderful play! I hope it lives a long well-produced life!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: THE END OF BEAUTY

    Sad play full of beauty. There are great roles for actors with moving scenes and monologue, and I was surprised how much I cared for each character. A well crafted play!
