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 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.

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.

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!”

Sometimes one has the urge to go read a play with a ridiculous yet spot on title. This silly play obviously came out in one push. This is a delightful romp in the grass, just watch your step

A beautifully written play about a mother and son dealing with their shared loss. Michele Miller exquisitely captures their relationship. I love how the mother, who has tried so hard to keep a tradition, learns from her son that there's room for new traditions.

So many of us are addicted to our phones, and the fear of missing out is real. This play definitely drives that home. Presence is on point and truthful. I appreciate Adam Richter's personification of the notifications and how he reveals the cause of Reggie's obsession.

This is not at all what one would expect from a groundhog. Sure they've received a lot of undeserving attention. And sure they hold the fate of the world in their grubby little paws. But sheesh! Adam Richter has written a brilliant, unexpected, and hilarious new twist on this yearly ritual, and I'm all for it!

Such a clever premise! Now it all makes sense! I love how Adam Richter captured the essence of 1980s radio personalities. So fun! And god bless Dolly!

Just when you think you're in The Comfort Zone, you very much are not, in the most wonderful, quirky, and yes, violent way possible. This play is not at all what you, or anyone would ever expect, which is what I love about this. Daniel Prillaman is the Quentin Tarantino of theatre.
