  • Imperfect Storms by Scott Sickles
    20 Jul. 2021
    “ Sickles drops us into an extraordinary moment, with extraordinary people, under, well, extraordinary circumstances. And yet the emotions are so real, as is the surrounding events. Sickles attention to detail--hands, a lump in the throat--and both honest dialogue and unspoken words create a literally breathtaking play. ”
  • Lang by DC Cathro
    20 Jul. 2021
    “ This play is beautiful, memorable, breathtaking, sublime. I can't say much more than the praise already given by others, but will add that Cathro takes a moment in history and invites us into the room where it happened. And although I know his interpretation is fiction, and the people who lived it were German, it feels as if we're taken back in time and witnessing a real event. ”
  • Count Yourself Among the Lucky by Alicia Margarita Olivo
    21 Jun. 2021
    “ You don't really know if this is a dream or reality, nevermind that it's a play, but that's what makes this staged experience so wonderful. The dialogue is both harsh and poetic, and the projections are used so wisely. Alica Margarita Olivo does a wonderful job of unfolding a relationship, the traumatic past, and a possible future. ”
  • Road Trip by Jan Probst
    19 Jun. 2021
    “ I love this family and all their quirkiness! Such fun! Jan Probst created five oddball characters and a ton of opportunity for some slapstick physical comedy. I'd love to see this on stage! ”

  • One is the Road by Mark Loewenstern
    19 Jun. 2021
    “ This is a perfect monologue. It's poetic in so many ways, the rhythm, the language, the repetition, the music, the emotion, the story. With every count, I am seeing the car, the tires, Valerie's face, their relationship, his brain repeating those moments over and over, and the anguish in his heart. ”
  • Brothers on a Hotel Bed (15 minute play) by Elisabeth Giffin Speckman
    19 Jun. 2021
    “ Elisabeth Giffin Speckman does a beautiful job of creating two complex and vulnerable characters who we immediately are drawn to. In 10 minutes we understand so much about who these brothers are, what they're going through, and ultimately what they need from each other. This sweet, funny, and poignant play hits you in the feels. ”
  • Cabfare For The Common Man (a ten minute play) by Mark Harvey Levine
    18 Jun. 2021
    “ Although a brilliant metaphor for common life experiences, this short play is extraordinary. Mark Harvey Levine encapsulates how life can pass us by at break-neck speed, never quite sure which direction to go in, or how it will end. But it's the journey, not the destination. ”
  • A Trip to the Forest by Morgan Hemgrove
    15 Jun. 2021
    “ Sometimes we get so bogged down in the day to day that we can't see the forest for the trees. It's then that we need a friend, one who knows us no matter how long it's been and what's going on in their life. And it's then that we need a camping trip to get some perspective. Clayton Bauldree does a beautiful job of demonstrating this in A Trip to the Forest. ”
  • THE SALT-FILLED PATH by Monica Cross
    15 Jun. 2021
    “ This most eloquent play is magical, charming, and certainly not just for children. Although an important lesson is learned at the end, the beauty is in the language, the characters, and the relationship of these unusual creatures. ”
