    2 Oct. 2018
    “ This play is engaging, human, and sweet - the characters are complex and simply ache to have their stories told. Directors, designers, and actors all have something great to dig into here. Give it a read! ”

  • Sir Theo and the Swamp Boy by Emily Hageman
    3 Jul. 2018
    “ The opening monologue is gold - I want to see someone perform this so badly. Adorable, sweet, and full of heart, this play asks why little boys don't get to use their imaginations, what it means to have, make, and be a friend, and it just might get you thinking about the environment as well. Hagemen's voice is delightful and I loved reading this little gem! ”
  • THE MADRES by Stephanie Alison Walker
    21 Jun. 2018
    “ A haunting piece about a moment that continues to shape Argentina's history and that certainly does not get enough press. Everyone should know about this historical moment, and this play can help make that happen! Plus, you've gotta love this many roles for strong women. ”

    22 May. 2018

  • Of Madness and the Electric Dream by Taylor Sklenar
    22 May. 2018
    “ This play is fascinating all around. Sklenar has a gift for putting high stakes and a magical patina on real science, which is fascinating and compelling. This play connects the past to the future, questions our moral and scientific goals, and has excellent roles for women - an all-around win. ”
  • Period Sisters by Ali Viterbi
    2 Feb. 2018
    “ At once very real and very... not, this play is original and funny and disturbing in turns. My mind keeps coming back to it, and I would LOVE to see it staged. There's a lot of fun stuff to work with here. Check it out.

  • The Secretary by Kyle John Schmidt
    2 Aug. 2017
    “ The theme of this play is provocative and sure to leave audiences thinking. It tackles a complex subject with humor and a touch of absurdism, pulling the audience into a deeply interconnected world where even the simplest logical facts seem to be in question. It's great - give it a read! ”
