  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Cranberry

    What fun! And for actors over 60! Such a necessary and hilarious play with a great ending. Read, produce, repeat!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: BUZZFEED, DONALD TRUMP, & DEAD BLACK KIDS

    Great short that packs a punch! Love how it seems to randomly ramp itself up into a very big moment. Must read - MUST PRODUCE! The more often, the better!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Drunk Christmas: A Ten-Minute Play

    I can't help rooting for a Christmas miracle as this unsentimental yet poignant play evolves with its damaged characters and their broken hearts. There are moments of real kindness here that shine through the muck of real life and might help - if not the characters, then those of us in the audience. A gem!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Rules of Comedy

    Such a warm and delightful comic play - I love the characters and their personal struggles and how these struggles organically arrive to change the course of things. I also thought Caroline was really funny even though she's not what Guy might think of as funny. The humor is there but in an unexpected way. And the deep reasons for it all make it that much more worthwhile. Great work!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: METONYM OR THE ALMOST COMPLETELY FALSE STORY BEHIND THE CREATION OF ROGET'S THESAURUS

    Adorable! Captivating! Delightful! This play is synonymous with fun! Well done!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Second Honeymoon

    This short play is wonderfully worked out to go much further than I expected it to go, with dialogue that really moves and turns. Plummer does a great job with the details like when Mary is knitting and when she's not - and as a knitter myself, it all makes so much sense! There is also a wistfulness, a sense of regret that propels Mary toward what she really wants, and I am absolutely hoping that this time around she'll get every last bit of it!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Interview with a Dinosaur

    Plummer does a great job with this short comedy that is full of surprises! First I loved the earnest little guy, and then it made me contemplate assumptions about human dominance in the world. I think it was Viktor Shlovsky who called it defamiliarization - I call it a lot of fun that actually gets us thinking! I hope it gets produced everywhere!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Happy Together

    A wonderfully bizarre and dramatic play with wonderful roles for two actors each doubling as one other character which adds so much! I also appreciate the tone and spareness of the play reminiscent of Duras or Hemingway taking place in some far away country full of beaches, cafes, and whispers. The play also seems to have a conscience - well done!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: EVERYBODY HATES MARIAH CAREY

    I second everyone here - this is hilarious and wonderful and should be on everyone's list of Antidotes for Christmas Cheer! Thank you!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: THE ARRIVAL OF A TRAIN

    Rachael juggles so much here - history, the moment as it happens, the language and the rhythms which are both wonderfully varied and help not only to place us in space and time but also create France and the fear in the audience to whom she speaks and the story hidden from the story - and she does it all in a very charming way! Brava!
