  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Cam Baby

    Brilliant Play! A most wonderful comedy, perfect in so many ways: when Tim becomes the monster, the way each character = their phones, the way we see the video live, the way everyone is trying so hard to be "real" - I thoroughly enjoyed it. But the best thing is how clear Moss writes about the way men treat women as garbage, the wonderful way Clara lets Matabang know that he treated her poorly even before she learns the extent of it. Thank you Moss for making this - I hope it gets produced everywhere!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Willy's Mom Gets in the Car

    THIS! SUCH A NECESSARY PLAY TODAY! I hope it gets produced in every single high school and junior high school across the country! It should be mandatory! Assigned reading at the very least! So much love and understanding in this short play, so simple to produce, yes we can do this! Read, produce, repeat, now!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: A Split Second

    Heart-stopper of a play! Beautifully rendered with the split-stage and the consequences of a story we put together in the audience as the 2 women relate their stories in 2 different states (metaphorically and actual). O'Grady has written a terribly real tragedy.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: To the Moon and Back

    WOW! Such a great short play! I LOVE IT! I LOVE how creative and fun it would be onstage - this MUST GET DONE LIKE EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME! Fun, funny, easy to produce, real, sad and moving!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Four Senses of Love

    Laugh out loud funny, & while I don't know his work well enough to say for sure, one of Jolly's fortes is to look at something so sideways and present it to us from such a strange angle, that suddenly we see freshly all the great possibilities we missed before! The metaphor of sensory deprivation creates an unusual look into how we fall and what love can do for us all...

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: An Irishman and a Wedding Ring Walk Into A Bar (10 min)

    Great role for an actor! And a super play about an impossible decision to make. Nicely done. Every thing you'd want to see gets seen and done only not at all how I would have expected them, a pleasure to encounter!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: THE NEXT MOVE-Radio Play

    What a beautifully sad and moving play! Reminiscent of Ionesco in its alarm and circularity and Albee in the stakes - here is an enormously hard situation, and it is heartbreaking to see how they are managing.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Pinktop

    How beautiful is this?! So well done, not at all sentimental, and filled with all the specifics to help us through it beat by beat! Those black rooftop tiles getting all pinked up with her little pink chalk - even the title is a winner!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Dog

    Well-written, page-turner of a play - I could not put it down! Each human character is like a different kind of dog, and it would be a really fun piece to direct considering all the different kinds of dog body language! I loved watching how Joan - a rather passive dog - works really hard in scene 2 to get what she wants without having to confront her aggressive partner. Walker adds all the doggy things/ideas/actions you can think of - including the secret one you won't admit you wanted!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Heart in a Box

    The Master of Kisses, Matthew Weaver has written a beautiful play about looking for love filled with metaphor and meaning. I dare anyone to refuse to identify with Z! I was hoping and dreaming along with him the whole time! This would be a great opportunity for a director/choreographer and/or devising actors to get to play and invent for this openly inclusive project! Beautiful work!
