  • AFFINITY LUNCH MINUTES by Nick Malakhow
    6 Aug. 2021
    “ I thought I hated hearing plays described as "more relevant now than ever," until I finally read one that it actually applies to -- if a theatre company doesn't think it's time to do Affinity Lunch Minutes, they don't have a finger on the pulse of what theatre needs now. Watching a reading of this made me feel unexpected sympathies and a range of new perspectives on race. However, the value of this play is not just that it's timely, but that as these issues develop, the play will become more relevant over time. ”
  • Level Up by Catherine Castellani
    9 Jul. 2021
    “ Speaking as someone who doesn't engage with sci-fi works too easily, I LOVED this piece. The technological information and ideas were very accessible, never distracting. The end was one of the most satisfying I've seen in a one-act in ages. Loved this fresh take on the A.I. ideas. Also would follow the character of Abigail to the ends of the Earth. ”
  • F***'d Up Fairy Tales by Michael Hagins
    18 Nov. 2020
    “ This was such a funny and fresh take on all these tales. I saw it multiple times from the same theatre company and found something new to laugh at every single viewing. I was particularly charmed by the revamped Brothers Grimm as narrators, informative without being expositional, funny without being distracting, moving at just the right pace. And on top of all of the solid comedy, a director has some major opportunities for horror and a delectably spooky tone-- especially at the end (Michael's Red Riding Hood is haunting my memories to this day!) ”
  • Michael is Black by Michael Hagins
    20 Jun. 2020
    “ Michael Hagins shows masterful range in this work. There are countless moments blending his sharp wit with just the right amount of sentimentality. One paragraph, I'm laughing out loud, and the next, his description of sadness is so succinct and realistic that I have chills.
    Michael is a true storyteller; he hooks you right away and the pacing is spot-on. And on top of everything, it's difficult to maintain energy with one character handling most of the dialogue, but Michael makes it seem easy and natural. This play is a force to be reckoned with.
