  • LOVE AND OTHER AILMENTS by Jack Levine
    25 Jul. 2022
    “ A very funny intergenerational play about love that will be a hit at any festival. It gives me all the right feels. Levine does a super job letting William reveal his marriage and his relationship with his daughter to Teddy by having him use all this personal history as a way to convince Teddy he'd be better off single, and yet the two men seem more alike with each vignette. Well done! ”
  • ZERO PERCENT CHANCE OF VISIBILITY short-form musical by Arianna Rose and Marj O'Neill-Butler by Arianna Rose
    24 Jul. 2022
    “ I am happy to recommend this highly enjoyable, funny and short musical about women of a certain age. I should know - I'm turning 57, my hot flashes long past gone. I wear Lorna's briefs, and I don't care a bit about the junk anyone's got, but this musical makes me think! It shows real authentic desire in older women, and works against all the stereotypes that toss us out once we've started to sag. Visibility rocks! ”

  • Oral Herstory by Lucy Wang
    24 Jul. 2022
    “ Lucy Wang's Oral Herstory is hilarious! Great use of lists! Great dramaturgical wackiness that is technically super-proficient! People will laugh until they pee themselves. This delightfully inappropriate bedtime story for a precocious child will keep us all awake in the theatre. ”
  • Delete by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn
    24 Jul. 2022
    “ Killer! Metaphor at work, take note! Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn takes no prisoners in this wild ride of a short play that would be awesome in any short play festival. Easy to produce, fun to direct, and it will stick with you. ”
  • Occupied by Aly Kantor

    “ Wow! What a great concept really beautifully executed. A moving play about millenial relationships to safety from 9/11 forward with characters that I truly care for and root for! I also found a great deal of agency in these two characters. And the prescient comments about arming teachers? Love how our movement through time is so well crafted. Not just wow, great work! ”
  • Hidden by Marc Weiner

    “ Impressive historical drama that captures two different eras and unites them in a drama that includes wonderfully written 3-dimensional characters with great stakes. The play addresses big questions of good and evil, and the personal stories kept me engaged throughout. Well done! ”
  • Neighbor Jane by Tina Esper
    18 Jul. 2022
    “ What an unstoppable engine Esper has built here with Neighbor Jane. This play kept me on the edge of my seat! The characters are so well written, and the play keeps spinning and deepening as we move forward to its inevitable end. Strange, intense, hilarious, and marvelous work! What a great night out this would be! ”
  • There Are No Closets in My Classroom by Nora Louise Syran
    24 Jun. 2022
    “ A wonderful monologue for this moment! I hope it will be irrelevant soon, but unfortunately it is needed. And beautifully written! We need more like this! I love the way Syran references literature here so that even school boards can understand (or maybe not school boards), but audiences are brought into the piece and the mind of the teacher - a great role - clearly. It shows so well how literature matters! ”
  • Restoration Parts by sheila duane

    “ I love how this play unfolds! I love how it feels like a fable, and yet it is so real and moving and true and honest. The language is so clear. I love what happens and what is said, and there is a clean structure that just thrills me. Beautifully done! Wonderfully imagined! This play works so perfectly, like a clock! With great roles for all four characters to play. ”
