    This was my introduction to Harmon's work, and I was hooked! Gorgeous harmonies, hilarious lyrics, unexpected twists, and she always captures the heart of her characters through soaring music.

    History repeats, and it's on us if we don't recognize the signs. In shining a light on journalist Mary McGrory's frightening placement on Nixon's enemies list, Rich Rubin has created a stellar role for a woman, plus a lively Greek chorus. This is a smart, stimulating play for our times.

    This play is hilarious, enlightening, and devastating. It changed the way I thought about that simple click to order, and the world would be a better place if more people saw it. Please produce this play!

    A thoroughly heart-wrenching and heartwarming play that takes you through every nervous step toward confessing your true feelings. I got to see this at the William Inge Festival, and the audience was right there with it, bursting into laughter and wiping away tears.

    This play sneaks up on you like an old friend and grabs you by the heart. What if there is someone you've never forgotten, who was there for you during your worst times, and what if you almost miss your chance to reconnect? I loved seeing this at the William Inge Festival, where the actors beautifully embodied all of Siskind's characters' deep hurt and longing.

    “

    A taut drama that expertly unspools its information, landing a twist that makes you question what is real. I saw a staged reading that completely drew me in and got everyone talking.

  • Lolly Ward: King Liz by Fernanda Coppel
    “

    This script is as energetic and muscular as its characters. Coppel drives a propulsive story through twists and turns to a biting, satisfying end.

  • Lolly Ward: The Thing About Lighthouses by Josie Seid
    “

    This play swirls love, loss, and faith in a way singular to Seid — tinged with the supernatural and full of haunting music. It will be a special addition to any festival. Believe!

  • Lolly Ward: How You Get Burned by Brianna Barrett

    This is a super cool look into an underrepresented world: who decides if you are sick, and who decides what makes you well? Two lost souls, illuminated by headlights, catch each other on the street and leave the other changed for good.
