Family drama that's fresh, interesting, and full of surprises? That's not easy to pull off and so well done here. O'Connell gently lulled me into believing the title "Man, Child" tipped its hat to Stan but look out, because when he skillfully peels back the layers with witty dialogue and compelling action we also find Jeremy...awake but not yet fully grown. Would love to see this one produced.

The characters in Phillie's Trilogy feel so real, the dialogue so natural, that you are left with a vague impression that playwright Doug DeVeta might just be sifting through your own memories, sharing bits of your own reality. DeVeta's ability to seamlessly pull back the curtain of life, guide you through the nitty gritty of memory, and shine a light on both the vulnerability and the strength of life-long relationships is amazing. I really hope I one day have the opportunity to see this one staged.

Oh my...I have chills reading this poignant piece. Of course I've watched (with waaaay too much glee) all the zombie movies and shows. But this drills down to one girl, to her life, to her love, to her end and it's surprisingly beautiful.

I happened upon Josephson's blog and was hoping to find his "If Only, a Tale From a Thursday" but perhaps not yet fully developed. I was rewarded, however, with this short which poignantly demonstrates the downright necessity we all have for human connection and personal growth. Lovely...

What a hoot! Lovely, unexpected, elevated banter. Would love to see on stage.

I love that this play acknowledges the possibility that love can overcome prejudices, that some prejudices really are simply born of ignorance, and that some relationships are worth trying to save. It is clever, warm, and sweet.

I love when I'm entertained and also learn something historic. It's like that extra something that elevates works to a higher level...taking us places we never knew we wanted to go and couldn't go on our own. I love how Grace's professional experience of life informs the context of her transition from this existence to her next. I love that she found herself in a position, during her transition, to share with us and did so with humor and, well, grace! Well done Jennifer!

I love it when I'm reading and forget I'm reading. The imagery provided is so vivid, if I wasn't already a vegetarian, Sapio might have spoiled hamburgers for me for quite a while. I totally went along for the burger ride and enjoyed every delicious...and disgusting...moment.

Perspective is everything. I love this piece. It shares a POV I would never have expected while reminding me that I, unlike the street, have no excuse not to take action against injustice. Bravo.

A poignant look at personal grief in the modern world. Makayla's emotions are palpable as she navigates the quick-moving waters of sibling responsibility, racism, and loss.
