  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Reading Hebron

    I love this play! Not only does it give us all a great sense of what it's like to be a conscious Jew in the world-at-large while Israel carries out horrors in our name, but READING HEBRON does this in a way that is accessible, understandable and actually ENJOYABLE - thank you Jason Sherman! May this play be produced again and again wherever free speech still exists!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Woman Behind/In Front of Me in the 15 Items or Less Line at Wal-Mart (a monologue)

    This is a hilarious character study in rudeness! Everyone has experienced this. Real and true, and it'll get a response from the audience! When you're looking for a contrasting monologue, this could be just the ticket!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: FASCISM! (Politically Incorrect Musical)

    Democracy Colostomy and a Capitalism Jesus - this is the most fabulous musical for this moment! And it just keeps on getting more and more timely!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: RAY'S CANDY STORE

    A beautiful slice of life play set in my hometown (NYC) that I love so much! It is a lovable play juxtaposing someone who survived serious danger and trauma with a wide-eyed corn-fed actress who wants to give up after witnessing a suicide. So much intensity handled so well by Carnes with skill and strong linguistic choices.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Snowglobe

    A marvelously funny piece that I had to read because I liked HUM so much, and I'm so glad I read this! Why are we here? What is this universe and is it meaningful to measure it? Are you an Ingrid or a Sonja? I know who I am, or do I now?

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Hum

    I love this play! As a metaphor for the unconscious ways that we live and how hard it is to awake from them, yes! This play challenges its audience to think outside the dinosaur - it fights fascism and has moments of such perfect beauty I am jealous of it! Are you a Listener? When your deity is killed, do you replace it with your desperation to have a deity?

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Women Playing Hamlet (Published by Playscripts)

    This is hilarious! And I love that it's all done on a bare stage with the regular breaking of the 4th wall, and I love that all the men are played by women for revenge - as stated in the script! When I say things like that people ask me if I hate men, but Downs is a man, so he gets to say that without worry, and I truly appreciate it! Jessica is a fantastic character! Brilliant work!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: or what she will

    A beautiful harrowing haunting stunning poetic play that gives and gives and gives until audiences will just have to start to understand, and how I hope and pray this will be produced often so that many people will be able to empathize and get it. Wonderful work!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: YOU MOTHER

    Love this play! 29th Street Playwrights Collective chose to do a staged reading of this play for our 2019 ShePlays Festival and had to cancel when our co-producers closed the space, but this play deserves to be heard! A vital exciting piece of theatre - I hope it gets produced soon and widely!

    Update - we did a reading, and it is such a disturbing dramatic piece! Great roles for women!!! Gave the whole room chills!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: SAVINGS!

    Savings! is so relevant in the age of gentrification and corporate crony capitalism, and this wonderfully diverse group of characters all have so much to contribute to the world of this play. From birth to death and all that exists in between, SAVINGS! gives us a glimpse into one community, full of pleasures and pain, and so much longing! A journey not to be missed!
