  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Y & Z

    A thriller that can be as scary as your own mind allows! This radio drama is a mystery that really moves. As strange as it is fascinating.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Beyond Neverland (A Lost Children Story)

    Here is a touching tale of two adults who are vulnerable and lost in a kind of 4th floor Bardo with lives that are happening, and yet the characters exist along with so much missed or missing. Their realization of time passing and adulting happening and casseroles v. candy gives us plenty to chew on in this philosophical and bittersweet play.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Mixed Signals

    I find this play so immensely relatable as another alien being, not just a lesbian but truly alien, yes, I get it. And it's really a super play that will creep people out in a festival, in the best ways, because aliens. And lesbians. And it is so other-worldly! The sounds. The lighting possibilities. The characters moment to moment... Super work!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Alchemist's Gambit

    I love the vague accents and the brandishing of the handsaw! This is a very silly ode to marriage which is the heart of the comic impulse. It will be hilarious to see performed!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: War Bride of Mormon County

    A beautifully written, theatrical family drama. Every line rings true. The way we refuse to look at difficult truths, the way family ties trump love and outsiders, the strength of our upbringing/grooming makes it so hard to see and recognize what is happening. Great roles for women who are each strong and working hard to fight patriarchal power at its most intense. Huskinson ramps up the tensions to keep audiences on the edges of their seats to the very end!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Before We Were Bake Sale Pies (3 Min Play)

    A marvelous sensory experience that would be so much fun for the actors involved and the audience. Longing and loss poetically compete with ideas on objectification and pleasure. Buy these pies!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: LOVE YOURSELF!!!!

    I LOVE THIS PLAY! What a fun, physical, fabulous play! This would be an amazing and energizing addition to any short pay festival with great roles for women. A kick-ass monologue! And a super ending. Totally relatable. Great work!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: AFIKOMAN

    Ah, we all can get so stuck while hiding! This is a beautiful new one-act that delves deeply into family trauma in a loving and theatrical way. This is also a healing journey that will be quite effective and moving onstage. Beautiful work!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: WORDS TO THAT EFFECT

    A beautiful play about how a young man becomes a drag queen. With super roles for both characters. Lush language, Lavinia quotes famous men throughout to great effect that might be quite comic, as she tags it all with the possibility that she's getting it all wrong. But whether or not she got it right, her son adores her. This is an homage full of love to triumph over the hardships they both suffered.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: A Christmas Pickle

    Goosebumps! This is a wonderfully touching play that works its backstory to great advantage. It's hard to have a play based on what to do about something that we never see happen, but Incrocci handles it really well, using everything that happened last night to great effect in the current scene. I love the ending!
