  • The Bad in Each Other by Alexander Perez
    1 Oct. 2021
    “ Perez does an excellent job of letting us peer into a relationship steeped with negative empathy. I understand exactly what both these characters want from life and eachother, and Im both deeply compelled and frustrated with what they do to achieve that. This play asks hard questions about the American left, activism, and what it means to be in a broken relationship. The personal meets the political. Well done. ”
  • Hard Cell by Donna Hoke
    21 Sep. 2021
    “ A priest desperate to save a soul, loses everything due to his faith. The layers underneath this encounter unfold outward in countless directions. This is a play I'll be thinking about for a while. ”
  • REQUIEM for GENOCIDE (short version) by Emma Goldman-Sherman
    15 Sep. 2021
    “ Provocative, painful, and powerful. This brilliantly theatrical play links genocide with genocide, forcing the audience to rethink previously held assumptions. Powerful political theater that needs to be seen. ”
  • Isobel by Christopher Plumridge
    15 Sep. 2021
    “ Echoes of Of Mice and Men resound when reading Olly's monologue. Unlike Lenny, Olly does get the farm of his own, in a painful twist. Well done. ”
  • Halloween Land, Inc. by Lee R. Lawing
    15 Sep. 2021
    “ A fun halloween script centering a couple of masks looking to be taken from their store before Halloween ends. Fun and funny with a twinge of existential horror. Lovely. ”
  • Places by Andrew Martineau
    31 Aug. 2021
    “ Wicked clever writing from Martineau leads to twist after twist after twist. By the end I wasn’t sure what I knew, but I know I loved the journey. ”
  • Winner by Amy Berryman
    31 Aug. 2021
    “ A stirring portrait of something not only BIPOC theatre makers, but also women, LGBTQ, and disabled writers hear over and over again from cis white male theatre makers. “It’s the climate” says Charlie Harvard. Those words make me want to wretch, and Berryman has done an admirable job airing Harvards grievances, so when Walker hits back, he feels it. Well done. ”
  • A Day in the Life of a Former Zombie by DC Cathro
    31 Aug. 2021
    “ A fascinating complicated scenario in which a man’s past performance comes to haunt him. This play raises interesting questions of what art can do, and the impact that comes when we say yes to a certain type of collaboration. You may not be the character you played, but you are the person who agreed to play them. ”
  • For Richard, for Poorer by Steven G. Martin
    31 Aug. 2021
    “ Wonderfully sweet and heartfelt, Martin has crafted a dynamic duo who come together perfectly for a laugh out loud pre wedding experience. Read while ready to laugh. ”
  • Swag (or Fucking Vigwan) by Kristoffer Diaz
    30 Aug. 2021
    “ Truly unhinged. This hilarious, outrageous, and completely depraved play is probably the reason obscenity laws still exist in the United States. If you have any sense of decency, do not read this play. But if you are as sick and twisted as Diaz, you will find bliss in these pages. ”
