- A Gas Station In Philadelphia by24 Apr. 2024“ This play is a fascinating look into Adele's mind and their desire to connect with the world around them (and also pay rent). It's complex and fascinating work. ”
- A Series of Inelastic Collisions by23 Apr. 2024“ This compelling play about politics and women in STEM provides an excellent opportunity for an actress in her 60s-70s. It also offers a lot for audiences to chew on when it comes to questions of community and communication across a number of philosophical divides. ”
- Medusa, Modern Woman by22 Apr. 2024“ This compassionate and nuanced look at Medusa's side of her own story is sure to make the grown up Percy Jackson kids in your theatre's town take notice and buy tickets. Santana approaches Medusa's story with care for both the character and the Greek theatre format while also making the story relevant to modern audiences. I got to see a reading of this play at the 2024 Inge Festival, and it drew the audience in quite effectively. ”
- The Matchmaker by22 Apr. 2024“ This play is so much fun! It's a joy to see Madison and Carol's relationship grow over time, and I found myself really rooting for them both. I had the pleasure to see a reading at the 2024 Inge Festival, and it was just a delight! ”
- Skeletons in the Cellar, a 10-minute play by22 Apr. 2024“ This fascinating little play skillfully puts its two characters at odds and forces some heart-wrenching compromises. I had the pleasure of seeing a reading at the 2024 Inge Festival, and it was great! ”
- Overtime by22 Apr. 2024“ This is a great example of a smart, tight, ten minute play, and it has a lot of heart to boot. I had the pleasure of seeing a reading at the 2024 Inge Festival, and it brought a breath of fresh air and a smile to everyone's faces after a long string of readings. ”
- Sputnik by22 Apr. 2024“ I love the ridiculousness of professional wrestling, and the chance to see that ridiculousness layered on top of something that actually matters makes for a nice balance. "Sputnik" achieves that balance well, and offers a nice dollop of history too. I got to see a reading of it at the William Inge Festival, and it was a delight! ”
- Our Father by22 Apr. 2024“ This haunting play offers great opportunities to the two actors lucky enough to perform it. Kielbasa layers personal trauma, Biblical stories, human anxiety, and more leading up to a horrific but satisfying climax. I had the honor of hearing a reading at the 2024 Inge Festival, and it's sure to stick with me for awhile! ”
- The Maker: A Play on Words by18 Apr. 2024“ Silvey tackles the idea of labels in a fascinating way with this inventive piece of theatre. I saw a reading of this play at the William Inge Festival, and it gave the audience a lot of thoughtful things to chew on. Actors and designers are sure to feel the same way. There's chances for everyone to get some good creative work in with this one! ”
