  • Mark Loewenstern: Bulletproof Love

    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.

  • Mark Loewenstern: KING KIRBY

    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.

  • Mark Loewenstern: American Drum Circle

    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.

  • Mark Loewenstern: Before Lesbians

    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!

  • Mark Loewenstern: A Touch of Cinema

    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!

  • Mark Loewenstern: The Underpants Godot

    This is a smart, fun, and provocative show, which both deeply honors and hilariously spoofs Beckett. It's also a wickedly blunt love letter to the theater and to comedy in general, telling some hard truths that you may not hear anywhere else. I've seen this show more than once and would see it again. It's had quite a few productions and deserves many more.

  • Mark Loewenstern: Garters

    Love this play! It's got everything. Knights, rogues, spies, magic, action, romance, riddles and fun characters who live outside their expected roles. It deserves more productions and now seems like the perfect moment for this story.

  • Mark Loewenstern: A Shared Mammary

    Hilarious physical comedy leavening snappy banter in a fresh situation. I imagine this would be a ton of fun for the actors as well as the audience.

  • Mark Loewenstern: Picasso in Paris

    I was lucky to see a staged reading of Picasso in Paris at Gulfshore Playhouse and was much impressed with Rubin's exploration of these larger than life characters. This play makes them wholly relatable, lovable, hate-able, human and giants all at once. If you love a "warts and all" biography like I do, you will thoroughly appreciate this script.

  • Mark Loewenstern: The Last Ballgame

    The last line of this play got me, and took the story beyond these enjoyable characters and into every baseball fan's heart. In an entertaining 10 minutes, the Last Ballgame shows us something compelling about America's pastime.
