  • Brian the Comet by Emily Hageman
    12 Jul. 2020
    “ Poetic and beautifully crafted. Tender and hopeful and thoughtful and funny with wonderful parts for young actors. ”
  • ACCOMMODATION by Greg Burdick
    21 Jun. 2019
    “ Burdick tackles an important topic with a deft blend of realistic and highly theatrical moments. A fast-paced and engrossing play. ”
  • THE STORYTELLER by Sara Jean Accuardi
    18 Jun. 2019
    “ A heartbreaking play about the power of stories and the pain of not knowing. I love the way Accuardi has brought unreliable narration to the stage in such an inventive way. ”
  • Hope This Helps by Gracie Gardner
    14 Jun. 2019
    “ A compelling play about what it means to be a stranger and what it takes to have real intimacy. This play has a strong sense of pacing and kept me wondering about the nature of the relationship between the characters up until the final revelatory moments. ”
  • WOMEN LAUGHING ALONE WITH SALAD by Sheila Callaghan
    14 Jun. 2019
    “ Funny and biting and inventive. I'd love to see this on stage. ”
  • Arbor Falls by Caridad Svich
    13 Jun. 2019
    “ I loved the quiet power of this play. The majority of the play is written in two-character scenes which leads to a great feeling of intimacy, whether those characters are long-time lovers or have just met. This play felt timeless and contemporary all at once. ”
  • What Are You Worth? by Kara Lee Corthron
    13 Jun. 2019
    “ In addition to what other recommenders have praised I wanted to highlight Ms. Corthron's use of language in this play. In the first act in particular she makes deft use of the contrast between comedic banter and deeply heartfelt monologues to drive home her powerful message. I also really enjoyed the invention of futuristic language/messaging in the third act. ”
  • Charlie's Waiting by Mêlisa Annis
    11 Apr. 2019
    “ The dialogue in this play crackles with electricity--both in terms of what the characters say and what they omit. Listen to the recording on The Parsnip Ship if you can. ”
  • The Mermaids' Parade by Gina Femia
    5 Apr. 2019
    “ I had the pleasure of listening to this play performed on The Parsnip Ship podcast. I highly recommend listening to it. Gina Femia writes dialogue such that each character has a very specific voice, and the actors captured this beautifully. I also love the way Femia's writes stage directions and pays such careful attention to sound/music and staging. ”
