  • Last Ship to Proxima Centauri by Greg Lam
    28 Jun. 2020
    “ Just saw a Zoom reading of this fresh and gripping play and it was fantastic. Like the best science fiction stories, it shines a light on where we are now and how we got here. With a skewering wit and a confident sense of world history, Lam asks important questions and avoids easy answers. Well deserving of multiple productions. ”
  • Cockeye(D) by Duncan Pflaster
    2 Jun. 2020
    “ Not just a devastating revenge story. Not just a canny depiction of the claims and counter-claims that come when abuse is alleged. Pflaster here launches a searing investigation into the mutual sexual jealousy between young and old, between vitality and experience. ”
  • Don't Go Breakin' My Heart by Donna Hoke
    29 May. 2020
    “ In 10 minutes, Hoke shows us a compelling romance brought to its raw nerve crisis point. Two vulnerable, relatable lovers set against each other, at an impasse. Even if you don't think you're a fan of romances, I'm betting you'll find this one honest, moving and satisfying. ”
  • Invasion by Jennifer O'Grady
    28 May. 2020
    “ A fun fantasy set during the COVID-19 isolation, about silver linings and making connections, and how the world looks different to non-humans. This play provides a much needed relief and raising of spirits. ”
  • Did I Get You? by Scott Sickles
    12 May. 2020
    “ In less than a minute, Sickles gives us several surprises and builds us to a powerful silent moment of communion. Great stuff and easy to produce! ”
  • Bulletproof Love by Scott Sickles
    8 Mar. 2020
    “ A beautifully written two-hander that is also wickedly funny, that also shows us something true about ourselves: We feel things deeper and clearer than our ability to express them. This is something many writers have TOLD us, but I am hard pressed to think of another writer who has SHOWN it to us as elegantly and compellingly as how Scott Sickles shows it to us here. ”
  • KING KIRBY (co-written with Fred Van Lente) by Crystal Skillman
    13 Feb. 2020
    “ Love this play. It's surprising and informative to the nerdiest fan while still being accessible to someone who doesn't know Electro from Elektra. A very human story that makes for an uncommonly satisfying evening. ”
  • American Drum Circle by Vanessa Shealy
    9 Feb. 2020
    “ A remarkable tale about what we think the world owes us, the suffering that leads to, and the way out of that trap. Shealy crafts a seamless story full of authentic characters, compelling scenes, genuine tragedy and earned redemption. ”
  • Before Lesbians by Elana Gartner
    3 Feb. 2020
    “ This play takes our universal human experience of plunging into love's uncharted waters and magnifies it ten times. Gartner shows us so clearly how unprepared Charlotte and Vivian are for their love, how overwhelmed they are by it, how their whole world denies it, and that makes their struggle for it all the more compelling. Highly recommend! ”
  • A Touch of Cinema by Duncan Pflaster
    3 Feb. 2020
    “ A seamlessly crafted political thriller. I was lucky to see this play live and was captivated by its power. Pflaster shows us what tyranny looks like when it's dressed up to look like just another party. A Touch of Cinema deserves more productions! ”
