  • Listening by Jennifer O'Grady
    6 Jul. 2019
    “ Here is such a poignant piece that O'Grady creates with great skill. Her light touch lets us experience the frustration, confusion and rejection this young woman is forced to manage and provides - through music and the act of listening - a way for Hailey to move forward. Beautiful! ”
  • The Last Great Act of Mankind by Scott Sickles
    6 Jul. 2019
    “ Relevant play for all its absurdity but also beautifully written and sweet! I really enjoy the high stakes of the situation and the real questioning of what could we do with our last moments on earth. Definitely a great piece for any festival! ”
  • Talk to Me About Home (a ten minute play) by Eugenie Carabatsos
    6 Jul. 2019
    “ I highly recommend this beautifully written and heartfelt script. 29th Street did a staged reading of it, and it was a highlight that night. It would be a wonderful addition to any short play festival! ”
  • Well That Just Happened by Sharai Bohannon
    2 Jul. 2019
    “ Hilarious play about co-workers and their absurd reactions to the death of a colleague that is funnier the longer it goes on and has a great ending! I highly recommend it - read it! Produce it! ”
  • Faith by Matt Barbot
    30 Jun. 2019
    “ First, I'm a big fan of biblical adaptation, so right away I was totally down for this. Second the title is perfect. As a Jew I am aware that I can be a good Jew and still question G-d. (That's my superstitious way of not writing out the word...) And people don't always know this. People think that faith is blind, but it doesn't have to be. Faith is the strength to question, the words of this monologue, the argument itself. May it live on many stages! ”
  • Three Cheerleaders Cheering for the Worst Team in the History of High School Sports by Adam Szymkowicz
    30 Jun. 2019
    “ This is one of those short plays that stays with you forever. I love the send up of the neo-liberals, and I love the high school posturing -- my son's in high school right now, and this is pitch perfect! But mostly I have to feel for Peter who breaks my heart with his beautiful monologue. ”
  • ACCORDING TO THE CHORUS by Arlene Hutton
    30 Jun. 2019
    “ This is a wonderful ensemble play that is a theatre-lovers dream project! Filled with backstage drama, dreams of chorus girls, frustrations of the aging, unappreciated dressers, and a young woman on the edge of becoming a writer. Hutton is a true romantic. Whether it's a 2hander or a large cast like this one, she gives the characters palpable hearts that beat and ache, and audiences can't help but ache with them. ”
  • LAST TRAIN TO NIBROC by Arlene Hutton
    30 Jun. 2019
    “ I loved this play when I first saw it years ago, and I still love this play because the characters are so wonderfully idiosyncratic; because the play unspools in its own way with such an honest moment to moment truthfulness; because it's the kind of play that doesn't need bells or whistles to ring true. ”
  • THE TIME IS OUT OF JOINT by Monica Cross
    29 Jun. 2019
    “ Hilarious and strange and absurdist and wonderful, and I love that there are Femme Scientists! ”
  • Boycott Esther by Emily Acker
    29 Jun. 2019
    “ Love this play that delves not only into sexual predation but important Hollywood a-holes but also into the nature of social media and the disconnects in all of our lives because of it - I love the final scene for so many reasons that I won't mention so as not to give it all away, but read this play! Produce this play! Love this play! ”
