  • Julie Zaffarano: Rocks The Cradle

    So much emotion and clever dialogue packed into ten pages. TJ Young’s talent for subtext shines in this holiday play. Holidays are hard, but especially hard when you are forced to accept a gift that makes you feel inadequate.

  • Julie Zaffarano: Hey, Dad

    A heartbreaking piece that also uplifts. Philip Middleton William’s work is authentic and speaks straight to the hearts of his audience. I teared up thinking of my own Dad — but in a good way. Also, dad jokes are real.

  • Julie Zaffarano: The Furniture Store

    Fast paced and funny, this delightful play holds us in suspense. A mundane shopping trip takes on new meaning. Well done.

  • Julie Zaffarano: Sometimes a Sandwich is Just a Sandwich

    Food and sex go together like PB & J in this fun play. Not sure who will have more fun — the audience or the actors. Clever any witty.

  • Julie Zaffarano: Adapt or Die (10 min.)

    Fun and surprising play that makes you think more about birds and evolution than you thought possible in a ten minute play. Would love to see it live. The actors would have a blast.

  • Julie Zaffarano: Triflers Need Not Apply

    Thrilling historical drama about Belle Sorensen Gunness, an American female serial killer. The history behind the play is fascinating and supports, without interfering with, the story telling. Well done.

  • Julie Zaffarano: Absolution

    I love this play. Dave Ebersole is a master language and storytelling. His over-the-top characters have you laughing to the point of tears. And then, in the middle of the crazy hilarity, he pulls a sucker punch in your gut that makes you care for characters that seconds before you didn't. "Absolution" will haunt you days after reading it.

  • Julie Zaffarano: Shelly

    Wow. Alex Dremann packs an entire two-act play into ten minutes. Brilliant, funny, and devastating, “Shelly” takes us on a twisty-turny breathless ride to inevitable end.

  • Julie Zaffarano: Frankie and Johnny The Play

    Beautiful and poignant retelling of the classic story. Keenya Jackson’s “Frankie and Johnny” is authentic — fresh and new. We are reminded that love is everything to a teenager and the loss is too devastating to handle.

  • Julie Zaffarano: America's Favorite Feminist

    Funny and chilling, this roller coaster of a play will have you laughing one minute and thoughtful the next. Keenya Jackson creates a futuristic world that seems fantastical, but , given the last few years, more probable tha we would like to think. Well done.
