  • Sock Puppet Fetish Noir by Kelly McBurnette-Andronicos
    12 May. 2019
    “ Fun. This seemingly absurd comedy eventually leaves us thinking, "Okay. Now, I get it. These two belong together," and that speaks to the writing ability of Kelly McBurnette-Andronicos. And there are plenty of laughs along the way. ”
  • Bazookas by Sharon Goldner
    20 Apr. 2019
    “ Another gem from the creative, free-range mind of a very funny playwright. Goldner is not afraid to address any issue with aplomb and humor. What I like most is this is a concept that would never occur to most people, but Goldner takes it and runs with it in her signature rapid-fire comedy style. ”
  • The Record Don't Stop Spinnin' for Robby Ray Robinson by John Adams
    6 Oct. 2018
    “ Surrender yourself to the silliness and enjoy this two-hander. Funny, goofy, and ultimately enjoyable. ”
  • Down There by Sharon Goldner
    6 Oct. 2018
    “ Easily one of the top five talking vagina plays of all time! Sharon Goldner has no fear. No subject is too taboo for her plays, and the reward for audiences is that we get to laugh, often at things we hesitate to laugh at, but Goldner gives us permission. ”
  • Big Angry Dyke by Sharon Goldner
    6 Oct. 2018
    “ You might think Anita Bryant has been out of the spotlight so long that she is no longer relevant, but therein lies the beauty of Sharon Goldner's play. Attitudes like Bryant's are just as prevalant today as in the 70's, and using her as this play's vehicle allows us to step away from our current views to gain the perspective necessary to appreciate what's going on here. I haven't even touched on the humor in the piece. In Goldner's classic style, the humor serves to highlight the greater point Goldner is trying to make, and also softens our defenses. ”
  • The Drumhellers of Bloody Dick Creek by William Triplett
    6 Oct. 2018
    “ With a title like this, it had better be good, and it is. A fascinating combination of drama and dark humor. The startling ending made me swirm as I listened at the 2018 Midwest Dramatists Conference, but it was appropriate and explanatory, and right (for the play). I love this one. Highly recommend. ”
  • Some Specter by John Adams
    6 Oct. 2018
    “ A delightful blend of whimsy and drama, John Adams displays an elegant balance between two styles that don't easily blend. Inside the cartoonish existence of the characters lies real human emotions and tribulations, in the end producing a product that is far from frivolous. Playwrighting skill on display here in only ten minutes. ”
  • Old Girl by John Adams
    6 Oct. 2018
    “ In two years of attending the Midwest Dramatists Conference and listening to over 40 plays, this is the one that got to me. So tender, so moving, this piece strikes a perfect tone in imagining the afterlife. I hate John Adams for making me tear up at a playwriting conference, but I love this play. ”
  • THE SAUNA by Charlotte Jung
    6 Oct. 2018
    “ I love plays like this--ones that are not about what they superficially appear to be about. I was captivated by this piece at the Midwest Dramatists Conference. ”
  • The Ten Minute Play (with a Nice Picture of Jimmy Carter) by Greg Hatfield
    2 Oct. 2018
    “ Irreverently funny, Greg Hatfield strikes the right tone with a two-hander reminiscent of the style of May/Nichols. ”
