Here is a solid 2-hander with meaty roles for 2 men with so much to say about the times. The long-standing relationship between the 2 characters is well developed. Simon is able to show us how they each respond so differently to the world. He puts so much at stake for them from beginning to end. I have great respect for the work here.

Wonderful play that includes the audience, and I always love that! It's a theatre-lovers play all about the biz, so that's fun, and it's also a rom-com and a bit of a fairy tale. This would be a lot of fun on stage in any festival of shorts!

Wonderful play with great roles for women! Higgins puts Betty and Annie in the most precarious situations. She is unflinching in showing us what they have to deal with. How they try to make things work out in such a world - their tenacity - it'll stay with me a long time.

A funny send-up of modern art including and specifically attacking performance artists in a way that would be quite enjoyable onstage without anyone having to cover themselves in anything gross or spill things! The characters are bright and articulate - very art school - and so aware of the issues of our days: capitalism and climate change. Would be great for any short play festival.

Fascinating play where things happen that only happen to one person, and no one else can see them happening - this is important - and I think Binstock has found a great way to convey things that can't be said easily. Things about negative capability and art, the artworld, and living in a body, the pressures of life and living, especially female life. The quiet nudity in this play that accumulates as the play happens is intriguing - I would love to see it produced!

Gorgeous short play that goes from the jubilation of a party to the deepest existential questions of life in a seamless sequence of events that make it all perfectly inevitable and moving. Brava!

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!
