  • TBA by Carla Ching
    19 Feb. 2021
    “ I might be biased since I played Finn in the original production of TBA... But this play is a knockout. A masterclass in storytelling with the most beautiful dialogue I've ever had the privilege of embodying as an actor. To me, this is a classic in identity plays. I cannot recommend this play enough! ”
  • Body + Blood by Shannon TL Kearns

    “ I really enjoyed the intersectionality of trans life and Christianity that this play explores. I was deeply invested in Joshua's journey. This play has so much heart. ”
  • One-Shot by Andrew Rosendorf
    30 Sep. 2020
    “ A painful, yet beautiful indictment on white fragility centered around Queer characters. Rosendorf provides with no easy answers and really highlights our country's system dilemma with white supremacy. I was challenged and uncomfortable in all the right ways. ”
  • Light Switch by Dave Osmundsen
    8 Sep. 2020
    “ A gorgeous portrait of love and perseverance. It is hard not to fall in love with Henry from the jump. Really smart and vulnerable writing. ”
  • Thrasher (10 minute excerpt of OFF THE PALISADES PARKWAY) by Nick Malakhow
    21 Jul. 2020
    “ This is such a great piece for BIPOC teen actors. The dialogue is razor sharp and the play's heart sings as Gabby and Taj try to navigate their changing friendship. This play brought me back to my teenage years and the negotiations we make to fit in (or not). ”
  • JESUS IN A BEEHIVE! (The Last Temptation of Mitchell Pantene) by Bob Stewart
    3 May. 2020
    “ One of the funniest One-Person shows I have ever had the privilege to see. Stewart flawlessly navigates difficult transitions between Mitchell Pantene and Jesus. It's belly laugh funny. Brilliant. ”
  • Prisoner Tongues by Alisha Espinosa
    20 Jan. 2020
    “ The most compelling part of the play is the deconstruction of the female characters from Much Ado About Nothing and Hamlet. Espinosa manages to re-center these characters from a female perspective, particularly from a Latina perspective to add even more beautiful complexity. Wonderfully sharp and expansive. ”
  • The Mr. Rogers Dildo Club by Lee R. Lawing
    2 Oct. 2019
    “ A slice of kink life. I really appreciated it's boldness and frank discussion of the kink world that tends to be sanitized. This play was unfiltered and raw. ”
  • Wolves At The Door by Ali MacLean
    5 Sep. 2019
    “ After reading this play, I was completely gutted. A harrowing examination of America's psychology in the wake of repeated gun violence. The play is bold, confrontational while still managing to be tender and sensitive. An absolute gem of a play. ”
  • Flashes & Floaters by Deneen Reynolds-Knott
    19 Jun. 2019
    “ This beautiful play effortlessly examines the push and pull of starting a career and being a caretaker for an ailing parent. It's honesty is both equal parts touching and brutally painful. This is masterful writing. ”
