  • Julie Zaffarano: Blind No. 7

    Philip Middleton Williams is a master at writing moving family plays. This story of respect and accepting others without needing to understand gives a loving perspective.

  • Julie Zaffarano: Them What Brung You

    Tanya O’Debra’s play “Them What Brung You” is a chilling Southern Gothic Horror story about a young couple and the incredible birth of their child. Is there evil afoot or are the circumstances unusual but innocuous? A brilliant play with strong characters and breathless dialog. Produce this play now, preferably in a city where I can see it. I was fortunate to read this play through #BAPF2021.

  • Julie Zaffarano: The Laborious Dance

    Five women of varied backgrounds and different stages in their lives come together for a pregnancy dance class. Their personal and shared journeys intertwine as they grow closer. The backdrop of a pregnancy class with dance and scarves and baby dolls make this a visual as well as internal play. The characters are real. This play has heart.

  • Julie Zaffarano: WHEN WE WERE YOUNG (full-length)

    A sweet and funny play where two people who were romantically involved in their high school years meet again under difficult circumstances. The desires to rekindle and to run away are both strong. A charming piece with strong roles for mature actors. I was fortunate to read this play through #BAPF2021.

  • Julie Zaffarano: One-Shot

    A heartbreakingly beautiful play about how the world and frustrations rip relationships apart. How people can want the same thing, but cannot be on the same page.

  • Julie Zaffarano: Old Habits

    A sweet story with characters we know and understand. In this play, Kerri Kochanski depicts the fears of aging and change and the denial that often comes with it.

  • Julie Zaffarano: Off Center

    Off Center by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn is a lovely piece that reminds us not to judge, as we do not know the journey others have taken.
