  • Birds of North America by Anna Ouyang Moench

    “ A deft and piercing exploration of how a father/daughter relationship can grow and shift and expand and implode and get sewn back together, again and again over time. These characters have been crafted with extreme care, and I love how birding is something that John and Caitlyn can share even while the rest of their lives seem so entirely at odds with one another. This is a beautiful play about family, the things that push us apart, and the things that hold us together. ”
  • Working for Crumbs - A Dead Body Farce by Kate Danley

    “ What a romp! This play is a laugh-out-loud good time and a brilliant skewering of corporate culture. The dialogue is whip-smart and Kate Danley's clear skill for crafting farcical comedy is exceptional. Thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to end, I will never look at oatmeal raisin cookies again without thinking of this play. ”

    “ Wow, I love this play. The danger of the outside world is palpable in every moment, and the relationship between Katrin and Lloyd aches of people searching for an escape anywhere they can find it. These characters are complicated and delicate, enigmatic and razor sharp, and the sexual tension between them feels simultaneously tender and treacherous. This is a high-wire two-hander with stakes, wit, and that deep human nameless thing inside all of us. ”

    “ This play is beautifully and lyrically written, constructed with a deft hand that tugs at your heartstrings and leads you on a lovingly and carefully crafted journey of brotherhood, betrayal, and the selves we become when faced with never-ending night. The language is truly and hauntingly gorgeous, and the humanity of Wolf and Rooster runs deep--cutting straight to the core. ”
  • Carl's Not Here by Daniel Loeser
    9 Oct. 2017
    “ This play is darkly funny and wholly original, with enough heart and superhero references to make you laugh, cry, and cry from laughing. The characters are tragic, lovable, complex, and fully-formed. You'll want to fight for Carl's Bar along with them, and you'll never look at Blue Curacao the same way ever again. ”
