  • Eve (10 Minute Version) by Bailey Jordan Garcia
    24 Apr. 2024
    “ This remix of the expulsion from Eden is everything you want from a modern take on a bible story. The sexism is laid bare, the woman deeply sympathetic, God the moody creator that God is. If Bailey adapted the whole Bible, there wouldn't be a single copy left unsold. ”
  • Here's What I Found by Lee Harrison Daniel
    24 Apr. 2024
    “ Here's what I found succinctly sums up the human condition, using three robots. We all want connection. We all want more from life. We all want the perfect grilled cheese. Whether or not life will grant these to us, the search provides us the means to keep going. Beautifully written, funny, and deeply felt, this play is a must read. ”
  • Antigone's Sister by Emma Goldman-Sherman
    23 Jul. 2023
    “ Goldman-Sherman revisits the Antigone myth, giving full voice to the still "radical" notion that women are people and deserve justice. Goldman-Sherman seamlessly blends classic tropes with modern sensibilities and creates a play that challenges at every turn and is well worth first prize at the festival of Dionysus. Bravo. ”
  • Penny for Your Traumas? by Lindsay Partain
    9 Jul. 2023
    “ With trauma comes personal monsters. Partain's metaphor is so powerful because of how much truth it holds. Trauma breaks something and unleashes a part of you that's necessary to survive. A monster. All this nuance is deftly explored in this brilliant 10 minute play. ”
  • Chemistry by Jacob Marx Rice
    29 Jun. 2023
    “ Wildly funny and deeply moving, chemistry hits on the reality of living and dating with mental illness. Tons of laughs to keep you going in the heavy material until the last line which left me weeping on the subway. Well done. ”
  • Kangaroo (Ten Minute) by Paul Donnelly
    29 Jun. 2023
    “ Kangaroo deals deftly with the give and take of relationships and the messiness that comes with incompatible kinks. For the conversation this play opens up about sex, its definitely worth the read ”
  • Is This All This Is by Dave Osmundsen
    6 Mar. 2023
    “ Jamie’s question that rings out in the penultimate scene of this play feels heartbreakingly refreshingly real. Is this all this is functions as the question at the heart of the play for Jamie, and sticks with me in all its beautiful messiness. ”
  • A Thousand Natural Shocks by Jacob Marx Rice
    2 Dec. 2022
    “ This play is a powerful study of depression and potential parenthood, that vacillates between big laughs and big feels. As a soon-to-be parent that is mentally ill, I felt deeply seen by this play. A Thousand Natural Shocks is the kind of mental health-positive theater that needs to be seen everywhere. Produce this play! ”
  • The Wonderful Out There by Dave Osmundsen
    30 Oct. 2022
    “ This play is tragic and heartbreaking and harrowing and hopeful. This play raises awareness of an all to frequent issue in the neurodivergent community, and gives voice to children whose voices were taken from them. Powerful, moving, and hopefully motivating to do better for neurotypical audiences. ”
  • Dee With The Devil by Jack Seamus Conley
    5 Sep. 2022
    “ Some nice rolling reversals rile up a devil as dee gets what they deserve. Hold onto your pitchforks. ”
