  • An Oddity Obsessive (or) The Oddities of Onyx's Obsessions by Reinette LeJeune
    24 Jan. 2021
    “ Fascinating and darkly surreal, LeJeune cuts to the heart of a group of wounded folks trying to come to some sort of closure with the ghosts that haunt them. ”
  • PASS THE AGGREVATION by Jack Levine
    23 Nov. 2020
    “ A wild ride of parents not listening to their child as she has something important to say, and not just metaphorically. Very silly and fun. ”
  • A Godawful Small Affair by Hayley St. James
    9 Nov. 2020
    “ One of the more intersecting plays to come out of the pandemic that I've seen. Kudos for articulating the claustrophobia and insanity of these crazy times on a personal level, and with a diverse assortment of Queer characters. ”
  • Near Nellie Bly by Mark Loewenstern
    22 Oct. 2020
    “ A moving and interesting adaptation of Nellie Bly's story, Loewenstern delves deeply into proto-feminist ideas and notions and not only tells the story of Nellie's investigation into Blackwell's Island Insane Asylum, also draws a vivid picture of the abuses perpetrated upon those women incarcerated there. ”
  • Corrector by Maximillian Gill
    11 Oct. 2020
    “ A dark and fascinating short piece about immigration, with a fantastical metaphor overlaid that makes it all the more ominous ”
  • Fridge by Jennifer O'Grady
    11 Oct. 2020
    “ A sweet metaphor about being in and staying in a relationship where someone considers themselves broken. Oddly touching, for a piece about a woman and her broken refrigerator. ”
  • Ossietzky - A Peace Play by Zac Hoogendyk
    5 Apr. 2019
    “ An interesting piece about a bit of history I was not familiar with. Could have been dull, but Hoogendyk keeps the exposition flowing so it's not boring. ”
  • The Marriage of Alice B. Toklas by Gertrude Stein by Edward Einhorn
    9 Jan. 2019
    “ An hilarious and thoughtful presentation of the relationship between Alice B. Toklas and Gertrude Stein, done in the hyper-collage style of the latter. Full of wit and entertaining characters, meaning and identity fractures and repeats to breathless comic effect. ”
  • The Jamb by J.Stephen Brantley
    8 Oct. 2018
    “ This play about gay men growing up and out of the harmful-but-fun adventures of their youth is full of heart and wisdom. It's also very funny and intriguing. Nothing else like it out there. ”
  • Pilar's Brother by Elana Gartner
    8 Oct. 2018
    “ This is an interesting piece about a young man in the 1960s struggling with his newfound identity as a gay man contrasted with his responsibility for his younger sister who depends on him. ”
