  • Lainie Vansant: SURELY GOODNESS AND MERCY

    This story is so sweet, but not in a typical "faith-based drama churchy way - it tackles big issues head-on, but it also celebrates kind-hearted characters trying to do the right thing.

  • Lainie Vansant: A Visit to Weizenbaum

    This play is haunting and beautiful. Daley-Sharif has risen to the challenge of presenting a science-fiction story onstage with grace and beauty, and I think that the physical embodiment of these characters adds to the questions in the play in a way that simply reading it from the page would miss. Produce this piece and see!

  • Lainie Vansant: DINOSAUR(s)

    This play draws the reader (and surely the audience member as well) along so smoothly, despite its dark subject matter and important political tensions. Still certainly has something to say here, but he says it with respect for all parties involved and with a sense of poetry that transcends politics. There's a lot to think about here, and a lot for communities to digest together. Give it a read and get it produced!

  • Lainie Vansant: inValidated

    This play is poetry - sometimes literally and sometimes figuratively, but it's beautiful throughout. The character of Katherine is a strong woman speaking her truth, which resonates with me, as I'm sure it will with many who see, hear, and read this play. Check it out!

  • Lainie Vansant: In the Room, Waiting

    McCants balances drama, humor, and a touch of the extraordinary in this fascinating play. The voices of these characters are a lot of fun - they're characters actors would have a lot of fun with - but the challenges within the play are difficult and require real struggle. You'll never look at waiting rooms the same way again!
