  • 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.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Morning After (Ten Minute)

    What a wickedly funny play! I love the beginning moments, and when they lose it and fall out of character in the middle, and the ending is UpROARiously Funny! I woke my puppy laughing. Donnelly is very precise and sets us up for every twist that all harkens back to the classic we all know. I did not see the end coming, and I am so thankful for that!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Letter of the Law

    O So Much Fun! YES - I have been this parent! Little Sydney is fabulous - my son was fabulous at 7 too. I remember it well. Now it's sheer hell! But read and produce this play - it really made my day! (I am stuck in a rhyme - please excuse me this time.) N.B. Hayet's play does not rhyme; it's my problem, I'm working on it...

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: UTØYA

    This strange evocative play is haunting and harrowing. Carnes is able to do so much in an extremely economical style. Stunning!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: ANGEL OF HOPE

    I love how the older girl character is revealed to us through the eyes of her new foster mom. It is a Christmas story that gives us hope because there is a real possibility of healing here. Beautifully done!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: SISTERS THREE & the tree

    GORGEOUS piece of theatre that I wish I could see live/live! Here is a ritual for healing that is necessary, profound, and reimagines all kinds of canonical work to make it new and female and fabulous! I want to read it over and over!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Becky's Xmas Wish

    So much fun for the holidays! Takes the spirit of the season and turns it into dark comedy! Elves and little girls - there is nothing more sinister! And Ms. Rogers seems to have a great knack for showing us how innocence can do such evil - Beware, and pee before reading if you're a hard laugher!
