Cizmar has chosen a powerful script and updated it in a powerful way. As a Spanish Golden Age nerd, I really enjoyed the thoughtfulness that went into this script, the distinct voice and relevance that Cizmar brings to the project, and the power of the women in this script. If you want a new take on a sometimes overlooked classic, this is the play for you!

A poetic, layered piece of theatre. The Most Beautiful Lullaby You've Ever Heard is perfect for an intimate space with an engaged audience. As a reader, I was very engaged in figuring out how the characters developed over time, and what that meant for the story and the message Romero is getting across.

Huskinson gives us an edgy but optimistic story about family and a history of deadly viruses in this interesting play. It's timely and full of hope that maybe people on different ends of ideological spectrums may be able to come together still when it matters.

This play is just so fun! If you're bogged down by the goings-on in the world today and need something fun, read this play! If you're having a great summer and you want to keep the vibes going, read this play! In general just read and produce this play, it's such a blast!

Anything tagged with both "Sesame Street" and "noir" is bound to be interesting, and this play certainly delivers on its darkly comedic promise. There's lots of fun moments for actors and audiences in this short play -- check it out!

This play captures the anxiety of starting a new job and the absurdity that sometimes comes with odd institutions. It's over-the-top and easy to connect with -- great for short play festivals!

What a thoughtful piece -- there is a quiet steadiness here that I really appreciate. I know that this teacher and their ideals aren't going anywhere (at least in this fictional world), and that brings me hope.

Lam's creativity shines again in this little slice of sci-fi eco-theatre. It's fun in a sad way. Or sad in a fun way? Let's just say it's both thought-provoking and fun for the actors. Check it out!

This play is a lot of fun! 2022 is a good year for escapism, and if you want a delightful rom-com about sports, technology, and living in the 21st century, check out this play!

This play is a haunting look at sexual abuse in a #MeToo world. Reading it immediately after the vitriol of the Depp/Heard hearing makes it ring even more true. I wish this play were becoming less relevant, but I think it will, unfortunately, still be making an important point for a long time.
