  • Antigone, presented by the girls of St. Catherine's by Madhuri Shekar
    29 Jun. 2019
    “ This is the best play!!!!! BRILLIANT! It is not only Antigone but Antigone (the play within this play) inspires the young women characters and they in turn inspire me and hopefully everyone else who ever sees this play! WONDERFULLY WRITTEN! Each character is so well drawn, and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. KUDOS! ”
  • The Hystericals by Edith Freni
    29 Jun. 2019
    “ I love this play! As a woman with 5 auto-immune diseases, how could I not love this play? But seriously and hilariously, Freni does a fantastic job with the cadences and the realness of character so that the language soars into frenzied beats and frantic moments, theatrical hilarities and pathos, and what a fantastic opportunity for actors and a director to grab onto and run with this wonderful play - I love it! I said that already, but I have to keep saying it! PRODUCE NOW! ”
  • The Milky Way Cabaret by Greg Romero
    29 Jun. 2019
    “ A heartbreakingly beautiful play about loss and longing like you've never seen before! I highly recommend this play! ”
  • Talking to Myself by Cameron Houg
    29 Jun. 2019
    “ Inspiring and fascinating, this is a wonderful short play that would be exciting to see produced! ”
  • Hyannis by Kari Bentley-Quinn
    29 Jun. 2019
    “ Wonderful play that tells a heart-wrenching story that is so well-told, lyrical while real and filled with specific and relatable, recognizable characters. Hyannis is stunning in its depth and humanity! I hope it is produced often! ”
  • The Mirror by Kari Bentley-Quinn
    29 Jun. 2019
    “ I love this monologue! It would not have occurred to me to write about my body after childbirth but Bentley-Quinn does this as a radical and marvelous act of truth-telling, and I must applaud her! ”
  • Big Belly by Jen Huszcza
    29 Jun. 2019
    “ The chill darkness of a post-choice world where we are surely headed - this prescient play is filled with moments of terror and a great unravelling. I appreciate it as a knitter - the physical maker - a crossword puzzler - the one with the brain who shoulda known better - a mother, an activist and a playwright! ”
  • SOME AMERICAN DAD: A MONOLOGUE by Asher Wyndham
    29 Jun. 2019
    “ A very sad monologue about the state of our nation and the realities for children and families every day. I have a high school age son. I homeschooled him until high school. I know a lot about homeschooling and this is probably one of the worst reasons to homeschool, and I feel bad for his kids. But of course I understand and hear the anger and frustration their father struggles with, and I appreciate the metaphor of the weedwacker and its futility. ”
  • Snow by Adam Szymkowicz
    29 Jun. 2019
    “ Sadness! Fuck, my heart... this is a really funny dark piece about our inabilities to connect - very human dilemmas provided by the pen of Szymkowicz in his well-honed tone of characters edging their way over tightropes step by step toward the beauty of snow which in this case provides the foreground to connect the stories in its very relentless natural existence, well chosen, and well done! ”
  • GIRL BEFORE A MIRROR by Martha Patterson
    29 Jun. 2019
    “ Poignant tale about the diminishment of women, the way we are considered vain when we have had so little chance to be anything but! A portrait of a world that only values us for and monetizes our beauty! How ironic Picasso painted as he did! This short play exposes the hypocrisy of male entitlement by exposing the machinations of Marie-Therese's mother as if she could have done otherwise. Wonderfully thought-provoking! ”
