  • 38 Cookies, 39 Reasons [a monologue] by Steven G. Martin
    29 Aug. 2020
    “ Martin plays with structure by giving us a play where the throughline is the eating of a pack of Oreos. We know how it's going to start, and we know how it's going to end, but the journey there brilliantly packs as much emotion into Terry and their journey, as Nabisco can pack into a Mega-Stuf Oreo. ”
  • Even if it Gets Us Nowhere by Alexander Perez
    29 Aug. 2020
    “ This play is smartly funny, with enough wit bubbling in every sentence to drive you to the satisfying conclusion. The dialogue pops like firecrackers and the characters talk themselves in circles, in true absurdist fashion. Do yourself a favor, read this play. ”
  • Uncovering by Erin Mallon
    19 Aug. 2020
    “ Mallon's play poses difficult questions, forcing the audience to watch and seriously consider what's behind the different viewpoints at work here. We may feel like this world is alien and ugly, but the people who populate it are steadfast in their beliefs. ”
  • Masking Our Blackness by Vincent Terrell Durham
    19 Aug. 2020
    “ Harrowing. A funny and disturbing reflection of what America is and has always been. This play dares you to watch without turning away. ”
  • cara has a hole in her head by Elise Wien
    19 Aug. 2020
    “ Wien's play vascilates between hysterically funny and horribly depressing with wonderful precision. I found myself not knowing if I should laugh or cry; somehow, I think the answer is both. ”
  • Randy's Dandy Coaster Castle by Alexander Perez
    3 Jul. 2020
    “ In turns humorous and horrifying, gleeful and depressing, Perez crafts a play of Chekhovian style tragicomedy that takes you on a roller coaster ride culminating in an ending you may not want, but need to see. ”
  • Booked and Blessed...OR BUST! by Alexander Perez
    19 Mar. 2020
    “ Perez manages to make a play that is both funny on the page and funny on stage. The world his characters inhabit is both strange, and oh so familiar to those in the business. Something, Somewhere, Somehow, manages to be dark but inspiring, dejected but hopeful and always, always, funny. ”
  • Peabrain by Jacob Marx Rice
    26 Jan. 2020
    “ In turns wickedly funny and heart crushingly sad, Peabrain takes you on a journey of sex and death that's as full of heart as it is of laughs. And of course, pigeons. ”
  • WO[MAN] by Alyssa Haddad-Chin
    26 Jan. 2020
    “ Smart, absurd, and wickedly funny, WO[MAN] shows what it is to be a mother (the expectations, the pressure, the double standards) in America. ”
  • Reflective by Alyssa Haddad-Chin
    26 Jan. 2020
    “ This play is remarkable. It strikes at the heart of what it means to have body dysmorphia in a way that is deeply evocative. How can we trust our selves, when we can't trust our own reflection? ”
