Wow! Such a powerhouse of a play! Gina Femia has woven such intricate and rich details into the tapestries that are her characters. And her stage directions are so incredibly on point. THE VIOLET SISTERS is a true delight and on my directing bucket list. Someone produce it and let me be in that room!

Matthew Weaver's talent for heartwarming funny stories mixed with tragically lost characters is front and center for A SPRIG OF MISTLETOE UP IN THAT ONE LITTLE CORNER OF THE JAIL. This would be great in a line up of one-acts for any Christmas/Holiday themed festival! #PlaywrightPlug

Rachael Carnes has a wonderful knack for packing hard-hitting messages under layers of symbolism. RIPPLE is no exception. Two black holes colliding becomes a wonderfully smart and poignant exploration of onstage intimacy and personal limits. It's simple and clean and would be a delight to work on. #PlaywrightPlug

There is an invigorating yet eerie blend of energies in I'LL TELL YOU AT SUNRISE. Franky Gonzalez invites us into this enigmatic liminal space, but doesn't let us get comfortable. Just when we think we might be matching the piece tit for tat, he puts a knife up to our chest and it's from there that we are ready to really listen to the message this play has to offer. #PlaywrightPlug

The Atlanta AppCo Alumni Series presented THE GREAT SUBURBAN OUTBACK as part of their second collection: Culture this past December and I cannot say enough good about this play! Emily McClain is downright hilarious. Her flip of script situation by having "foreign exchange students" be reality television hosts sets the stage for a wonderful night of theatre.

This play is incredibly sweet and smart. Ms. Hageman's use of the Shusher to break up the rhythm and set the atmosphere is delectable.

Wow! Produce. This. Play. Now. It's smart and timely and simple and clean.

Intense, intimate, and truthful to the bone. I wish more plays would tackle this subject matter and promote not only knowing your status but getting tested regularly. Great job, Donna!

It's always hard as a child to see past the image you have of your parents as these tyrannical figures that have been old and ancient for as long as you can remember. Rachael Carnes not only shows us this but forces us to swallow the pill that they were like us once too. And their fears and seemingly dictatorial actions are grounded. PERMISSION is a beautiful piece of theatre and I hope it continues to be produced because Ms. Carnes has something very special here.

Life tends to be full of awful people and Asher Wyndham has put two incredibly awful people onstage in this gut-punch of a play. Great roles for two women that are unlike the typical ingenues and mother figures that fill most plays.
