  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Classics For Kids

    Yes, this is a winner - a great play to entice young readers and to inspire adults to read to children. So creatively thought out - it would be so much fun to costume! And the ending is perfect!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: A Semicolon is a Double

    Here is a surprising and beautiful love story! What a unique way to understand language! What a stunning and world-changing moment in high school when everything is so awkward. This is a great short play that would be perfect in so many LGBTQ festivals (and clearly has been) - I hope it gets produced far and wide!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: EARTHWORM KID: A MONOLOGUE PLAY FOR AN ACTOR'S INDEX FINGER

    I wish I had an earthworm dance party in school when I was 5 or 6 or 7. This is such a fun imaginative piece! It fills me with the joy of being alive!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: I Found Her Ear and She Stole My Heart

    Fabulously (and fable-like) strange play that moves from event to event so fast and fills the stage with characters who are so filled with the enormity of their desires, it is a pleasure to imagine. Even the offstage characters are completely clear to me as if everything in this play is drawn with an assured and dark line. Love it!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Audience Disturbs Marcel's Bath Time and He Is Very Upset With You All

    This is wild! Read it and produce it quickly before he has to get out of the tub! Producing this play will not cause wrinkles or skin puckering in audiences except while they are laughing hysterically - and afterwards all the wrinkles will pass!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: HEY, EMILY DICKINSON, I GOT A CHEESESTICK! A One-Minute Play for Two Kids

    Love that this play can be done anywhere by anyone and for free! This is such a generous piece from a generous writer with an enormous heart, and it shows in the drama of it, and it all ties into itself which is lovely. And brevity! Great!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The History of Mexicans in 10 Minutes

    A very fast and funny, easy to produce historical comedy that should be done everywhere! My favorite part is the human sacrifices to the g-ds with impossible names. Well Done!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: A New Play by Matthew Weaver

    A New Play by Matthew Weaver is a true gem to add to his canon! Not only is it LOL funny, it is also DEEP! But the drama he imbues the KISS gives us a little more of what Weaver does best -- write plays as an excuse to stage KISSES -- which as we now know is his raison d'etre and why his work is so memorable and should be widely produced! Thank you Matthew for yet another brilliant Kiss, and a very fine Play to go with it!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: CURBED

    Intense and dark, a true thriller in three minutes! Must admit I was trying to get the play to go on, scrolling in frustration where the machine refused to let me scroll further. I registered shock and glee at how brilliantly Carnes is playing with us here, and with style too. She makes it work so well!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Interior

    This is a sensational piece, and I mean that in many ways, because Sickles uses all of the senses to create a kind of enveloping experience that begins at the top and never stops til its over. The ending is unexpected and yet very satisfying.
