  • Kevin King: Lipstick

    This is a fast paced hilarious modern queer sex farce. It’s smart, ridiculous, outrageous, and super queer! I loved this play!

  • Kevin King: A Humble Path [a monologue]

    This is an unexpectedly dark and riveting monologue! I was vaguely horrified and disgusted through the set up, and couldn't look away. And then, at the end, I smiled with cold satisfaction. I really enjoyed this!

  • Kevin King: I Saw Jesus in Toa Baja

    Diaz-Marcano has crafted a marvelous modern day, Puerto Rican Dr. Seuss tale. His lyricism and command of imagery and storytelling are beautiful. This play is about the long-lasting struggled in Post Maria Puerto Rico; it's about finding optimism and hope in dire circumstances; and faith and grace- however that looks to you.

  • Kevin King: YOU MOTHER

    In YOU MOTHER, LaRussa has created a taut portrayal of two women dealing with loss and crisis. She does a great job maneuvering the reader's/viewer's loyalties from one woman to the other. It's a tense reflection on school gun violence. It also asks the reader to consider the boundaries of personal responsibility.

  • Kevin King: Catching Lemons

    Pisaturo's play gives us a lovely and gentle reminder of the continued significance and importance of coming out. It also gives a powerful caution against delaying making the choice to live your truth or you'll miss the opportunity of sharing who you are with the important people in your life.

  • Kevin King: TURTLE KID: A NEWBIE ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST MONOLOGUE

    Asher has created a real, and extremely adorable kid with unbounded passion for nature... especially turtles. Asher has layered in fantastic details - the costume, the fact that the letters on the kid’s sign are blurred- that argument the reality his dialogue creates. And the drawings are so much fun and manage to add a deeper layer to the play.

    This is a hilarious and witty parable about modern dating and honesty. It's fun magical realism!

  • Kevin King: The Pitchforks

    This is a dark, surreal, scary, and smart piece of theater. Its shape keeps you guessing and involved. Kramer's play is a cutting and insightful commentary on the media and the perils of homophobia and toxic masculinity.

  • Kevin King: Wicked Creatures

    “Wicked Creatures” is a fascinating play with strong fully-drawn characters. Carter’s tale gives us three complex women who will make you reassess your loyalties multiple times throughout this tightly-woven play. Each character is at various times an unknowing rube, a master of their destiny, a sympathetic figure, and the antagonist. Often all at once.

    Carter juggles all these elements skillfully. It’s impressive and fun to watch and read.

  • Kevin King: My Dear Children

    What starts out seeming like something close to a typical sitcom set up quickly twists into something completely different. It's a lived-in, yet very surprising, play. Gonzalez examines so many relationships here: sibling, parental, lover... in an economical, startling way that grabs and drags you forward to places you never thought you'd end up. Very well done.
