  • Uni... by John Kelly
    13 Jul. 2022
    “ Sam gets way more than he bargained for in the latest set up by his friend Angie. The funny, natural dialogue between the two friends becomes fraught with the arrival of Pat. The ensuing confusion is great fun. ”
  • Cinderellis and His Fairy Wing-Woman by Jack Seamus Conley
    13 Jul. 2022
    “ What a gloriously fractured fairy tale! Will Ellis find true love? Will the fairy godmother with the checkered past help or hinder? Make up your own mind after reading this comic delight. ”
  • Kris & Missy by Jack Seamus Conley
    13 Jul. 2022
    “ What a merry holiday treat, indeed! Kris's reluctance to reveal his big secret is credible and endearing and Missy's evolving response is quite charming. Even the road safety officer provides provides comic surprise. The whole premise is engaging and wittily rendered. ”
  • The Girl Who Could Talk to Birds by Daniel Prillaman
    13 Jul. 2022
    “ Cyrano meets Dr. Doolittle in this wonderfully lunatic romantic comedy. So many witty lines lead up to Raphio's insanely bad advice and Nora's even funnier blow up. Patrick's surprising response is truly delightful. All-in-all great fun. ”
  • I wrote this play to submit to The Seventh Annual Conservative Theatre Festival by Riley Elton McCarthy
    7 Jul. 2022
    “ Mimi is certainly a vivid character with a vivid, if ironically horrific, narrative to share. This piece quite effectively satirizes the ethos of the titular theatre festival. ”
  • I LOVE A PARADE, a 10-minute dystopian political drama by Arianna Rose
    6 Jul. 2022
    “ What an eerie meditation on a dystopian future and on the horror of narcissism in the midst of tragedy.
    The poignant histories painted by Eric, Mary and L.B. are moving and unsettling. Lisette is a frivolous and benign seeming monster. Their interactions and fates will continue to haunt me. ”
  • Confirmation Bias by Nick Malakhow
    3 Jul. 2022
    “ The anxiety and contortions required to remain in the closet are compellingly illustrated in this portrait of an important moment in queer history. Hooker's study broke new ground among mental health professionals and we see here just how much courage it took for gay men to participate. ”
  • Yukon by Julia Specht
    2 Jul. 2022
    “ An engrossing meditation on the value of life when life is hard to value. The nuances of the sibling relationship between Shauna and Ryan are especially compelling. It almost seems as though Ryan finds redemption when Shauna makes her final choice. ”
  • Are You Comfortable? by J.Lois Diamond
    2 Jul. 2022
    “ That the build to horror is so subtle and unexpected gives this piece its incredible power. Lucy is an engaging young woman with a life of promise. It isn't possible to be comfortable by the time she has finished speaking. ”
  • Last Laugh by Morey Norkin
    2 Jul. 2022
    “ A poignant comedy, filled with a mix of laughter and pain. What is set up as a passing of the torch becomes even richer and more resonant as a hidden truth is revealed. ”
