  • Stitched with a Sickle and a Hammer by Inna Tsyrlin
    18 Nov. 2018
    “ I've now had the opportunity to hear this play out loud twice and it floors me every time. The story and characters are so vividly drawn and clear that it's almost cinematic. I can't wait to see this play produced on stage. ”
  • La Mujer Barbuda by Cristina Luzárraga
    18 Nov. 2018
    “ LA MUJER BARBUDA is all the things you want in a play - smart, funny, moving, surprising, at once new and familiar. Luzarraga has created memorable, well-drawn characters and two worlds that are completely distinct and clear, and it's beautiful to experience them transforming in and out of each other in such a seamless, cascading way. I loved this play. ”
  • I Don't Drink At Parties (a monologue) by Olivia Matthews
    21 Sep. 2018
    “ This is a highly impactful and resonant short piece that every college student should be required to read/see. A lovely little gift of a play. ”
  • The Flood by Jean Egdorf
    20 Sep. 2018
    “ This is a smart and moving story that weaves (mostly) realistic characters into an almost mythical narrative, and does so quite seamlessly. Egdorf has built a beautiful arc for her characters...both literally and figuratively, and the play is compelling throughout. ”
  • A Driving Beat by Jordan Ramirez Puckett
    29 Jun. 2018
    “ A lovely play about the complicated, nuanced relationship between a mother and her adopted son, one which employs the road trip device better than any I've ever read. The characters are well-drawn and the occasional elements of magical realism (through the character of Reina) work well. Very much worth a read. ”
  • Homecoming 1972 by Robert Koon
    17 Apr. 2018
    “ I had the pleasure of assistant directing this play's world premiere at Chicago Dramatists several years ago. It is a lovely, poignant, heartfelt, and agonizing portrait of a small town in a broken, divided nation. ”
  • I Will Miss You When You're Gone by Jessica Moss
    19 Mar. 2018
    “ This is a play that really takes the idea of ghosts and hauntings and turns it on its head. What could be cliche becomes smart, moving, surprising, and emphatically unique. And the best part? Four fantastic roles for women. Very much worth the read. ”
  • Edmund Fitzwater Doesn’t Have Any Answers for You by Sharai Bohannon
    16 Mar. 2018
    “ This is a completely terrifying yet somehow totally delightful short play about the scary, omniscient play technology is heading. Smart, relevant, and eerie. ”
  • Addressing the Nation (10 min) by Cassandra Rose
    16 Mar. 2018
    “ This is a lovely short play with whip smart dialogue that is surprisingly moving for its mere 10 minutes of length. Topical without being heavy-handed and a pleasure to read. ”
  • When They Came by MT Cozzola
    2 Mar. 2018
    “ This is a truly beautiful play. Moving, lyrical, strange, engaging. Like an extraterrestrial OUR TOWN. And like OUR TOWN, it packs a hell of a punch at the end. I have not read anything else quite like it. ”
