“ Robynne Graffam's play "A Rising Tide (Lifts All Boats)" depicts a world where climate change effects have become an immediate problem. As we witness each character deal with the problem in their own way, we see how we all deal with our issues -- ignoring, planning, and, perhaps, taking a leap of faith. Well done. ”

“ Anne Marie Cammarato’s “A Scar” is a devastating story of two families trapped in a cycle of pain from a private and public trauma. Cammarato weaves this “one step forward, two steps back” play through gripping and heartfelt dialogue, as each character reveals their pain, anger, and helplessness. Brilliant and, as stated above, devastating. ”

“ Once again, Asher Wyndham creates an authentic dialogue that grabs us by the middle of the first phase and holds us to the last word. Granny Lola is real — we have seen her in stores, restaurants, and in our own homes. Great monologue with teeth. ”

“ In “Cookies and Creamed”, Devin Randall takes us on journey as Damian reviews his life — the environment and experiences that have brought him to this crucial point in his life. A poignant look at gay community, addiction, and acceptance. Well done. ”
