    Satta has crafted a gorgeous piece about love, loss, and how trauma shapes who we are. As Ben and Ray connect, the audience learns of the clever and well-utilized history of both characters. A sweet and tender piece that is a gift for actors and audiences alike.

    This piece draws you in from the first yelp in a car ride to the final moments (which broke my heart). The emotional rollercoaster is deftly handled by Gibbs' skill with not only dialogue, but also structure. What is family? What makes a monster? What is our place in the world? These are just a few questions Gibbs explores in his incredible love letter to Moth Man and really anyone who feels different. Incredibly well done! I can't wait to see a full production.

    This piece is just as thoughtful and incisive as the multi-layered title suggests. The characters are distinct, the dialogue engaging, and the dystopic look towards the future (and allusions to our current state of affairs) is incredibly well-drawn. Lovely and prescient.

    Golly gee! This play is the cat's pajamas and then some! It is such a fun and thoughtful love letter to Golden Age Hollywood while still being theatrical. The dialogue is quick and witty, and the characters are just delightful. A staged reading had me laughing out loud throughout. Bravo!

    This moon is a character I want to spend more time with, delightful even as she tells us her plight. It is easy to identify with her as she is blamed for everything. A fun piece for any actor to sink her teeth into. Luna makes me want to have her back too. Excellently done!

  • Erin Moughon: ABRAHAM'S DAUGHTERS by Emma Goldman-Sherman
    “

    Compellingly written and sadly incredibly relevent. Goldman-Sherman's modern Abraham shares many qualities with his Biblical predecessor, including having children from two different nations. The family drama mirrors the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis (and the conflict Jewish Americans feel) with a deft hand that makes it impossible to stop reading. Beautifully structured.

    Aly Kantor writes a delightful, surprising, and overall gorgeous play. She captures beautifully how difficult it is to be a woman and how freeing it is to give up societial expectations within a charming, funny piece. The twist at the end is pure genius. Kantor is a brilliant writer, showing her deft hand in this brilliant play. Amazing!

  • Erin Moughon: Monarchs by Danielle Frimer
    “

    "In the particular contains the universal." --James Joyce. Frimer has accomplished that feat in spades in her deeply felt and beautifully rendered Monarchs. Each character feels both at once entirely unique and like someone I've met before. Magical realism and family drama co-exist to weave this lovely tale that left me laughing, crying, and really wanting to call my dad. Excellently done.

  • Erin Moughon: Triptych - A Love Story in Three Acts by Sam Heyman
    “

    A fresh and refreshing take on love, in all of its forms. Heyman creates relatable characters that draw you into their specific relationship complications, but not the ones you think. Honest, frank communication takes center stage in this lovely play that centers on four beautifully rendered humans (yes, the narrators is fully realized as well!). Delightful work!

    Worm Teeth is a brilliant interactive fable that is what Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride wishes it could be. Smart, fun, funny, and poignant, this interactive play has its worm searching for identity among a wild (literally and figuratively) cast of characters. I loved being part of the journey and cannot recommend this brilliant piece enough.
