This is a fantastic tour de force of a play! It’s an entrancing story and the way the characters gracefully become other supporting characters reminds you of the magic of the theater! I fell in love with the characters, the rhythm of the dialogue, and the structure of the play.

This is a fantastic read and would be incredible to see staged. It’s an honest look at (indictment of?) modern marriages and relationships. It also treats the characters fairly and compassionately, while not letting them off the hook. Goldman-Sherman tackles much more here - transphobia, the sometimes-forgotten legacies of how we were raised, politics in our polarized world. This is a great and theatrical work!

This is a hilarious romp! You know all those gossipy stories you tell your friends and relatives about other friends and relatives? This play is about what happens when those worlds suddenly collide! Great characters and fantastic fast-paced dialogue!

This is a fantastic, moving, slice-of-life piece that perfectly captures the burgeoning longing of queer youth and the shame that too often comes with it. It's also a realistic and yet, somehow, idyllic representation of how parents and family can unknowingly shape the paths queer kids take.

In FABLE, DeVita has constructed a great play that serves as fascinating behind-the-scenes “making of” the musical Gypsy. It goes well beyond that, asking questions like which is more important: truth or just verisimilitude? Does it matter HOW you are remembered if it means you aren’t forgotten?

This is a well-written, creatively conceived play that would be fascinating to see on stage!

This is realistic and powerful look at an obsessive relationship. It's great to see plays like this that are focused on LGBTQ+ characters who get to live nuanced lives, for better (and in this case) or worse, just like straight counterparts. This is a well-crafted play with nuanced supporting characters. It's smart, funny, and sad.

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.

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 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.

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.
