  • how to clean your room (and remember all your trauma) by J. Chavez
    25 Oct. 2019
    “ Chavez's poetic writing structure lends itself to what might be one of the most intimate scripts I've read in a long while. Everyone has a unique relationship with their bedroom, and this is especially the case for anyone who struggles with mental health. Chavez deftly breathes life and theatrical magic into the most mundane of items we'd find in our personal space. There is a melancholy joy to this play that will stick with you. Highly recommend. ”
  • Refuge by Andrew Rosendorf
    11 Sep. 2019
    “ I was fortunate to see a reading of this play at Campfire. This script confronted the audience with some of the people involved in the inhumane situations that are happening at our border. The use of puppetry was a brilliant use of theatrical magic to immerse the audience in the desert, without taking us out of the fact that the play was set in our reality. ”
  • Earworm by Shualee Cook

    “ I got to see a reading of this play at Campfire, and it skyrocketed into being one of my favorite plays of all time. My love of punk rock music may make me biased, but truly this play is beautifully (and poetically) written. It is a love letter to music, growing up, and the songs that saved us while doing so. ”
  • The Once and Future Casey Colman by Jacqueline Bircher
    11 Sep. 2019
    “ Eccentric doesn't even begin to describe the varied cast of characters in this play. This is the show to highlight a strong ensemble, and at its center is a whip-smart young heroine who is just trying to figure it all out. Bircher does a great job of making heartfelt, relatable moments within the supernatural madness. ”
  • ¡Mamágua! by jose sebastian alberdi
    11 Sep. 2019
    “ Glorious. Alberdi takes Catholicism and family drama for a joyride. Your jaw will hit the floor, and it will probably stay there. Filled with both absurd laughs and tenderness, this play won't let audiences look away. It would be a well-rounded, in your face addition to any theatre season, and should be produced immediately. ”
  • Lean In With Liz! by Rachel Bublitz
    4 Jul. 2019
    “ I was able to see a reading of this play a few years ago as part of the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival, and to this day it remains one of my favorite ten-minute plays. An introspective piece about weeding out one's own desires vs. societal pressures as an adult. I know I'm not the only one who has had a conversation in the mirror with the little girl she once was, and Bublitz reassures us all that defiance takes on many forms. ”
  • How Sweet The Sound by Eryn Elyse McVay
    2 Jul. 2019
    “ Surreal in it's handling of social conflicts, McVay takes the audience out of time and forces them to confront just how archaic contemporary society still can be. How Sweet the Sound pulls no punches. ”
  • Dust of the Street by Ryan Han
    28 Mar. 2019
    “ Gorgeously written. An elegy of different forms of grief: grief for oneself, grief for loved ones, grief for wrongs done to one's family. Equal parts slow meditation and clever snappy dialogue. Han's use of theatricality reads as naturally as breathing. I cheered for Chris. I cried for Chris. I laughed with Chris. Strongly consider DUST OF THE STREET for your next festival of one-acts. ”
  • Canaan by Micah Ariel Watson
    31 Jul. 2018
    “ Every character shines with their own unique sense of humor and perspective. Watson weaves multiple character storylines together with poetic language and heart. If you are looking for a solid ensemble cast, with depth and strong, distinctive personalities, this is the play to produce. ”
  • The Burdens by Matt Schatz
    22 Jul. 2018
    “ Wow. This quickly became one of my favorite plays. I never thought I'd get to type the phrase "comedic thriller" ever in my life. This play starts as a slow burn, and then quickly picks up the pace until you've devoured the script whole. Every time the siblings' schemes take a sharp turn for the worse, your jaw will likely hit the floor. ”
