  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: ACCORDING TO THE CHORUS

    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.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: LAST TRAIN TO NIBROC

    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.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: THE TIME IS OUT OF JOINT

    Hilarious and strange and absurdist and wonderful, and I love that there are Femme Scientists!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Boycott Esther

    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!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Antigone, presented by the girls of St. Catherine's

    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!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Hystericals

    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!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Milky Way Cabaret

    A heartbreakingly beautiful play about loss and longing like you've never seen before! I highly recommend this play!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Hyannis

    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!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Mirror

    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!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Big Belly

    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!
