  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Stung

    Wonderful work - the two characters are quite distinct from each other, and the play touches on some really deep experiences. It can be so hard to be human with all that we go through, and this play offers Solace.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Astonishment

    A lovely piece to bring to senior centers! It's funny and poignant, and easy to produce! I love all the upsides to aging that the piece focuses on without being saccharin or insincere. Well done!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Song for a Windy Night in the Suburbs

    Stunningly beautiful work. Wonderfully dramatic and visual and also aural - it would be a great pleasure to witness live as in Produce This Everywhere Please.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Love and Class in Connecticut

    This is a very funny play with a lot of subtext underneath. I really enjoyed the older sister (being one myself) and the relationship between the two sisters sharing that mother who is a real piece of work! I also loved how unJewish they were about being Jewish, so very true!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Sandbox

    Here is a living universe filled with wild animals and daring adventures for everyone involved. In 10 minutes Osborne-Lee gives every single character onstage so much life, the play is bursting with it. Full of secrets and spies I was flooded with relief at the end!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Battle Cry

    It is a great leap, truly a milestone, to be able to read such an honest, gripping play with a 15 year old female protagonist poc - I love every moment of this.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: God Said This

    This is a beautifully written wonderfully rich play! I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. The characters are human and flawed, and yet there is real active searching not only for redemption but also forgiveness - not often seen, and not easy to do, and Leah Nanako Winkler gets it done!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: SURELY GOODNESS AND MERCY

    This was a joy to read and would be amazing onstage! I love the language, the short scenes where just one thing happens and it's enough, and I love the way the action moves forward until it's over in a breathless moment of surprise! I also really admired how the Preacher speaks Tino's experience - this is a wonderful bit of dramaturgy! And all the goodness and mercy - yes!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: POSITIVE

    Krause has written a funny and philosophical play about how to consider living in this crazy ruined world for young women who have the most at stake for just starting out and not having made too many huge errors yet and the terror of the futures that await them depending on the choices they make. I felt for them all, especially the bloody one!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Queen

    Royally suspenseful! It is rare for me to have such an edge-of-my-seat experience for a science play, and rare for me to care about the love subplot, but I did! Wonderfully done - I am abuzz!
