Gina Femia can write the cherries offa slot machine! She takes a comically darkish genre (Noir) and turns it inside out upside down and sideways to tear your heart out! The darkest most unfathomable mysteries - Femia's on it! Read this and weep!

This is the moment when the fuck buddy turns into a real emotional attachment, and it's so freaking exciting because I don't think the speaker even knows it yet, but I feel it - all that caring and investment - trickling and then oozing from the words Wyndham has crafted here, just enough to know they are in this (body and soul), and hopefully this will be the fuck of their lives coming with the realization that this is so much more when those eggs and the veggie mix arrive in the morning as requested.

I would also classify this thrilling drama as a comedy for as it twists and turns, it also makes me laugh out loud! Here are 2 great roles for actors. Growl is a play about freedom and art and how art inspires us to fight for freedom. It should be produced often everywhere!

Adorable play for older actors! It's funny and sweet and it will be perfect in festivals! Kudos!

What a masterful piece! Burdick is able to provide us all with not only a strong active survivor of the random violence we are all at risk of becoming, but he is also able to show us a human cop who tries to operate inside the bounds of her assignment until she cannot. This would be a gem in any festival - produce it!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.
