  • The Feeling of Leaving/Staying
    28 Jan. 2019
    This play has such a natural flow to it and really encapsulates a very specific type of somberness. Heartbreak is a powerful thing and it's captured well in what is essentially two flash-monologues.
  • Selfies & Ladybugs
    28 Jan. 2019
    What a wonderful and theatrical show Weaver has created here. You can always expect a high-level of creativity in his scripts…oh, and they’re also always hilarious. Just like this one, which features two quirky entomologists who are trying to take the perfect picture. One of my favorite things about Weaver’s sense of humor that emanates throughout his plays is the specificity. Trust me, this play delivers.
  • Being Wendy Wasserstein - A monologue
    18 Jan. 2019
    I love Wasserstein and her courage to speak authentically, to tell her truth, and that is captured so brilliantly in this monologue. This is beautiful and I think everybody should read it.
  • The Wolves
    6 Jan. 2019
    Fantastic show that really nails the spirit and tragedy of adolescence. Hilarious at moments and haunting at others; this show has the perfect blend. Super honest with its subject matter. There's a reason this play is produced so often.
  • Brine Shrimp Gangsters
    3 Jan. 2019
    This is SO GOOD. As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a Brine Shrimp Gangster (not exactly the quote, or something I've ever actually said, but you know how it is), and now I'm going to be thinking about this show all night and living vicariously through my memories of reading it. Really great absurd comedy, this show perfectly pokes fun at all those old-school gangster stereotypes. And the audience gets splashed, come on, what's not to love here?
  • In Dreams
    23 Dec. 2018
    Visually interesting piece; poetic in a presentational way. Dreams are fascinating things (I personally love hearing about them) and in this play that leads to an equally fascinating resolution. Somber in the best way.
  • 80 Cards
    15 Dec. 2018
    Yes! A play that bends theatre, is hilarious, and sprinkles some existentialism throughout? This is the type of theatre I live for. A great idea, here's hoping Martin gets his time to shine again soon.
  • Another Play by Matthew Weaver
    26 Nov. 2018
    I love the absurdist and metatheatrical vibes this show has got going on, very clever. I'm not Matthew Weaver (I think), but as a playwright, I thought these characters were talking about me too. What a fantastic and hilarious piece!
  • Absence Makes the Heart... (A Play in Monologues Inspired by The Red Shoes)
    29 Oct. 2018
    This is such an incredibly skillful piece. Each character is unique and has their own distinct voice. Moments of this show are humorous and others are heart-breaking. A very creative way to show the ripple effect of a person's life.
  • Unfrozen (A Monologue)
    27 Oct. 2018
    My emotions were all over the place while reading this, in the best way possible. It's hilarious and heart breaking. I'm convinced Lawing could make me feel attached to any character, puppet, dummy, anything. Would be great to see this stage!
