“
Wholesome and hilarious, Heal the Hydrangeas hits hard right in the feels. Sometimes the first step in healing is to break into a church, clutching a potted plant. ”

- Ghost Light by28 Aug. 2022“ Ghost Light is tender, powerful, and oh so moving. Many of us know what it means to be lonely like this, and know just how much it means when someone else cares. Well done. ”
- Oui (yes, we) by28 Aug. 2022“ Oui! Plus de ça, s'il vous plait! This wholesome play gives a happy ending to it's queer characters that feels oh so right. This play is needed for queer audiences, especially young ones, for so many reasons. Do yourself a favor and read this play! ”
- A Night by28 Aug. 2022“ Short, sweet, and funny. A first kiss seeped in embarrassment soon turns into something more wholesome. Touching, sweet, and the kind of queer experience we all dreamed of as a young adult. ”
- Crack by28 Aug. 2022“ Crack is dark, funny, and intense. Two married people show up to bury a body in the woods, things go south. Meanwhile the audience is left wondering how far they'd go for the ones they love. ”
- Suburban Zombie Princess by28 Aug. 2022“ A cute pre zombie, contemplates turning in this short monologue. Fiery and funny! ”
- Babel by30 Jul. 2022“ I saw this play at CATF in West Virginia, and am so happy I did. This play addressed questions that have persistently been in the mind of the disabled community with humor, tenderness and hope. Well done. ”
- The House of the Negro Insane by30 Jul. 2022“ I saw this play at CATF, and was struck by the roughness, hope, and simple poeticism of the world these characters inhabit. This play envelopes you in it's wings and flies you on a journey that will move you, even if it burns you a bit along the way. ”
- Oubliette by14 Jul. 2022“ This play is powerful. Oubliette gives physical form to RSD and Emotional Dysregulation, and as a neurodivergent writer with a neurodivergent spouse, they have never been more terrifyingly familiar. On top of that, Oubliette is steeped in metaphor and theatricality, breathtakingly so, even just on the page. I’ll be thinking about this one for a while. ”
- INERTIA by8 Jul. 2022“ My God, this play is mad. Tragic for Minky and Billie, and so damned funny for the rest of us. A relationship is on the rocks, so of course, some Chekhov has to bleed in, and WHY DO WE NEVER VISIT GIANT'S CAUSEWAY! This relationship comes with too many strings attached, anyway. ”
