“
A brilliant play and spell binding play. Kaplan creates a world using humor and driving dialog that pulls you in and keeps you on the edge of your seat. ”

- PERMISSION by13 Nov. 2018“ From the first word, you are in the room with this mother and daughter. This is a real conversation happening in dining rooms today. The fear. The desire for there to be no need to fear. Carnes says all this in five minutes. ”
- TWO BUNNIES TALKING by13 Nov. 2018“ A play that encourages personal social responsibility without being preachy. A great way to start a conversation about why people don’t vote. ”
- ELEVATOR GIRL by13 Nov. 2018“ Powerful. Hoke tells a story that grabs you immediately and takes you through more emotional layers than any elevator could, Brava! ”
- a People [a mosaic play] by4 Nov. 2018“ A beautiful tapestry woven from laughter and tears. Poetic and epic. Each vingette touches the heart and raises questions, but moves so fluidly into the next, that the reader is hardly aware that fleeting glimpse has shifted. ”
- Bottle Fly by4 Nov. 2018“ A haunting play that both kicks you in the gut and takes you beyond ordinary human emotions. Raw, yet polished. Readers should take a deep breath before reading, because they won't exhale until ten minutes after the last word. ”
- HAPPI IN IOWA by6 Jul. 2018“ A haunting play that runs deep below the surface. Kyle and Becky long for understanding and find it as they rediscover their past relationship in today’s terms. The dialog is well written, allowing the audience to understand the depth of feeling without being beaten over the head. ”
- Split Pea Pod by6 Aug. 2017“ Funny, clever, and sweet -- Alex Dremann creates a world where romance is alive, but far from sacred. Dremann depicts our desire to commit versus our desire to hold on to our status quo. More twist and turns in this play than a wooden roller coaster, Dremann keeps us on the edge of our seats. In the end, love wins out -- or does it? ”
- MONESSEN FALLS by4 Jul. 2017“ "Monessen Falls" by Greg Burdick is a well-played drama that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats. The characters are real -- both flawed and yearning. Burdock is not afraid to explore their darker sides and bring them to light. Hope to see this play fully staged. ”
