I've been living in Inwood since just after 9/11, so I can vouch for the world that Sobler creates as real and beyond that, she has made it wonderfully funny and all-too-true as she works to get us to look at all of our differences and yet the show really brings us all closer together by revealing the schisms. Kudos for that!

Wonderful dramatic play about a bully and his target. The sexual content makes the struggle much clearer and helps to raise all the stakes. Sickles has written a powerful truth here, and I hope many get to see it!

An exciting play about how a sister comes between two women in a lesbian relationship, how family secrets hold us back from living and from loving. I love how Rice uses her flair for theatricality to great effects here, and I love the journey she takes us on. The storm is evocative of the emotional lives of her characters, and the supernatural aspects of this tale make it a great play for the Halloween slot in your season! Highly recommended!

Here is a mysterious family drama that raises some intriguing questions. Almost every line could be the beginning of further intrigue, and yet Lawing keeps the lid on it all while his characters stew in their separate resentments for very good reasons. What is it that keeps families together and what tears us apart? Fascinating!

Hilarious play with eggs who ask to become babies, but the best part is when the birth control shows up in a red dress, or maybe the best part is when some of the eggs get to respond in choral fashion with the words: cervical mucous! So much fun!

Here is a fun play where two women get to take out their frustrations on a loaf of bread, and it's hilarious! No idea where Bultrowicz gets his inspiration but I'm so glad he wrote this down because I doubt it will ever go stale. It's the kind of metaphor that works so well in a short play.

Intense and compelling play about a Jewish American woman torn between her family and her desire to rescue a young boy who is a refugee. I love the connections she makes between today's refugees, those from the Nakba, and those who died in the Holocaust. Welden's sharply beautiful the language resists sentiment while the doubling of the mother characters allows us to recognize ourselves in others without having to use any words at all.

A very well-written, intense family drama about a dark past that goes beyond the ordinary secrets into the cyclical/generational way these monstrous acts are passed down, how victims can become perpetrators, how good people turn on each other and themselves and how some people can blind themselves to reality. It packs a lot of punch!

SWEET SWEET SWEET is Matthew Weaver and his new play, a delicious dream of a short play! Highly recommend!

I saw Gina perform this play, and it is really moving and honest. It was inspirational to me. I really felt like she was sharing parts of her soul here. It is an uplifting play I highly recommend!
