  • Boy's State (a monologue) by Scott Sickles
    26 Apr. 2021
    “ This a moving and haunting monologue about the tyranny that keeps LGBTQ+ youth in the closet and opportunities missed when you have to live in fear. It's a universal piece about regret and chances not taken told from the poignant lens of the closet. ”
  • Some Guy Masturbated In The Ocean by Max Mondi
    8 Apr. 2021
    “ This is well-crafted, densely packed play. It sneakily pulls the audience into an awkward uncomfortable space and leaves them wondering whose side they're on. ”
  • This is Not a Touch Exhibit (a monologue) by Scott Sickles
    8 Mar. 2021
    “ This is a fun, well-crafted monologue about a casual crush on a stranger. Sickles does a great job of showing the rush one gets from “falling in love” and how it affects us. It’s also refreshing to have a character, especially a queer man, who doesn’t shrink from the possibility of having an intimate encounter with someone in their 70s. ”
  • The Underpants Godot by Duncan Pflaster
    2 Mar. 2021
    “ This play is fast-paced, fun, smart, and goofily sexy (if that's a thing). It's a fun commentary on what it takes to keep older works fresh, how sex sells, and just how far directors should go to interpret works. This play also gives some great peeks into the rehearsal process. I also love that there are characters who are just casually gay. They're very lived in. ”
  • Pirate / Queen by Nick Jonczak
    18 Jul. 2020
    “ This is a hugely imaginative and fantastically fun play. From the delightful and oh-so-specific character names to the comically goofy plot, Pirate / Queen is a wild ride that at once evokes classic swashbuckler tales AND ball culture. This is an unapologetically queer fairy tale! I'd love to see it on stage! ”
  • Confirmation Bias by Nick Malakhow
    17 Apr. 2020
    “ Malakhow gives us a fascinating and intimate view into the past. He does a fantastic job of capturing the feel of that time in history, both in terms of the fear of being outed and their manner of speaking. The characters are bold and well-defined. Malakhow treats the characters with a wonderful warmth.

    Works like this are important because they capture the experiences of queer men in the past. They serve as time capsules and, in their own way, a warning. ”
  • The Damp, Dark Room Just Off the Parlor by John Adams
    21 Mar. 2020
    “ This is a supremely entertaining vaguely campy, Gothic pearl-clutcher of a play about a certain kind of conversion therapy, queer identity, and the perils of living in the closet. ”
  • Viral Love by Philip Middleton Williams
    21 Mar. 2020
    “ This play is a deft snapshot of what dating in time of pandemic could look like. It's in turns haunting and cute. ”
  • Vanilla by Scott Sickles
    21 Mar. 2020
    “ This is haunting, moving, and lovely. ”
  • Corona with ICE by Franky D. Gonzalez
    21 Mar. 2020
    “ In a single page, Gonzalez creates 2 fleshed out characters and then pulls the rug under you with a duly scathing response to today's America. ”
