  • The Unexpected Delight of Snow Birds by Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend
    30 Dec. 2023
    “ This couple is life goals. I love how they understand each other, the banter, the compassion, the teasing. This little play demonstrates grief in such a real and authentic way. It's a wonderful play about the holidays, family, and relationships, with humor, whimsy, and charm. Plus it has great roles for older actors and would be easy to stage. ”
  • Identically by Christopher Soucy
    9 Feb. 2023
    “ Well, you got me. I did not expect that ending, and I did not expect all the feels, especially from such a seemingly ridiculous play. Bravo! ”
  • Blink, And Your Ticket Is Worthless, a monologue by Sam Heyman
    9 Feb. 2023
    “ Oh, Sam Heyman, you have created a brilliant monologue. Is there a theatre enlightened enough to dare produce it? We are one step away from this Black Mirror-esque situation. Or are we already there? ”
  • BANSHEE by Adam Richter
    9 Feb. 2023
    “ Adam Richter cleverly integrates Irish folklore into the Japanese Noh style and poetically creates an eerie and tragic piece. Kudos! ”
  • FUKT by Emma Goldman-Sherman
    12 Nov. 2022
    “ I am so grateful to have had the chance to see FUKT via livestream. Of course it’s a difficult subject, and it’s often difficult to watch a person struggle with coming to grips with the realities of trauma. I, and so many people, unfortunately can relate to this story, involving memory loss, denial, neglect to oneself, and even forgiveness. Emma conveys her story through FUKT in a gentle and humorous but also frank and even violent way. But because it’s so raw and truthful, it’s immensely engaging. Thank you Emma for bravely sharing your story! ”
  • FORGETFULLY YOURS - a monologue by Monica Cross
    28 Sep. 2022
    “ Monica Cross so perfectly captures both the heightened sense of awareness and also the complete and utter lack of awareness that is ADHD, right to the very end of the monologue. It’s a train wreck that you can’t look away from, both sad and deeply endearing. ”
  • 20 by Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend
    12 Sep. 2022
    “ Yesterday was 9/11, and I didn't know how to feel. It's been 22 years, and in some ways, it seems like yesterday. My son, who was two when it happened, was making jokes about it. How can 22 years feel like too soon? Thank you Lisa for putting this into words. ”
  • Early Decision by Sam Heyman
    30 Aug. 2022
    “ Early Decision has such compelling characters and a funny and poignant plot line, that it inspired me to write a sequel (with a nudge from Playwrights Thriving). I find Sam Heyman's writing style and topic choices to be deeply relatable, creative, and magnificently entertaining. ”
  • Music and God by Scott Sickles
    28 Aug. 2022
    “ Thank you, Scott, for writing this wonderful sequel to my play. I love that we get to see more of Schroeder and his story, and Linus and Chuck are much how I imagine they might be in their 20s. You added the Scott Sickles flair with finesse and heart. ”
  • Boardwalk Concessions by Scott Sickles
    28 Jun. 2022
    “ Scott Sickles has such a tremendous talent for creating characters and situations with depth, heart, honesty, and humor, and Boardwalk Concessions is a perfect example of that. In the famous words of Cheryl Bear, “Well done!” ”
