    “ This play is a creative, scientific, time-warping trip with ghosts, clones, strong women, and a lot of brutal honesty. It pushes the edge of what theatre can do and is sure to leave audiences plenty to talk about over drinks after the final curtain. Gunderson's work is always a pleasure, and this play is no exception. ”

  • HAPPI IN IOWA by Asher Wyndham
    4 Jan. 2019
    “ This play is both tender and brutal, about family coming together despite terrible differences. It's an optimistic story about human connection overcoming differences, something we desperately need more of in the world today. ”
  • The Thought Doesn't Count by Emily Hageman
    4 Jan. 2019
    “ Hageman's charming comedy makes the pain in this play that much more of a punch in the gut. This play is about trying to smile through tears, and that is just what I found myself doing as a reader. It's a treasure. ”

  • The Book of Miriam by Tom Moran
    3 Jan. 2019
    “ Moran's Miriam is feisty and fun - she would be a delight to play. This play takes Biblical characters and makes them both human and funny. It's a treat. ”

  • Queen of Sad Mischance by John Minigan
    28 Dec. 2018
    “ This is a play you can get lost in - the dialogue is well-paced, natural, and engaging. The characters are interesting, and it draws you in without any hard-to-produce bells and whistles. It's a pure study of characters, academia, and identity, well worth the read and (hopefully) lots of productions. ”
  • Organized Crime Christmas by Everett Robert
    24 Dec. 2018
    “ A play about such tough guys has no business being this adorable, but Robert pulls it off in the best way. Interesting characters and a fun twist at the end wrap this little ten-minute play up with a festive Christmas bow. ”
