  • Steve Lyons: Perseus is Dead Draft 1

    So clever and extremely funny. Makes Greek mythology fun! You care about the characters, which is huge for a Greek drama! Beautifully written. Highly recommended.

  • Steve Lyons: Want

    Want is an intense page turner. Slowly tightens the screws on these characters. A sense of menace pervades the story, without being overdone. Nobody whips out a gun, but there is the feeling that this is not going to turn out very good for somebody!! Nicely done.

  • Steve Lyons: Good Heavens!

    Confidently told in a bouncy style, Good Heavens gives us a glimpse into the struggle to discover the geometry of the solar system while trying to appease the Biblical constraints. It marvels at the heroic achievements of early astronomers. What an achievement, to look up at the night sky and determine that the earth and planets revolve around the sun! So engaging and so funny!

  • Steve Lyons: Boise Is the Paris of Idaho

    Some very funny parts. Zany. Loved Tennessee Williams showing up. Very whimsical, and yet you care about these characters. Recommended!!!

  • Steve Lyons: Florence Fane in San Francisco

    Fascinating glimpse of American history. Florence Fane is a force. While meticulously researched, it doesn't get in the way of a compelling story. Highly recommended.

  • Steve Lyons: Professor Jekyll and Miss Hyde: A Modern Adaptation

    Tight, well written thriller that keeps tightening the screws until the end. Really compelling horror play. With heart! Highly recommended. Feels like it is ready for production.

  • Steve Lyons: Together

    This is a very tight page turner. The world is ending in six months. Or is it? Beautifully written. Great pacing. Highly recommended.

  • Steve Lyons: GOLD

    Using her grandfather's little black book as a guide, Frankie goes on a road trip to discover who her grandfather really was, while also discovering her own history and what makes her who she is. Fabulous dialogue and characters. This began as a film script but this is a very strong play.

  • Steve Lyons: The Light Keepers

    A finalist (top 12 of 75 scripts we reviewed) in our reading series called "New Play Cafe." Very theatrical, exploration of parallel universes and what we might do if we discovered our duplicate selves in another dimension. Beautifully theatrical.

  • Steve Lyons: Crazy Quilts

    Crazy Quilts is one of six plays (out of 75 plays considered) selected by our theatre company for a reading in our series called "New Play Cafe." It was selected for it's clever execution and compelling dialogue. This innocent quilting group is weaving more than quilts! A very satisfying tale.
