  • Things I Don't Want to Talk About: a hero(ine)'s journey
    7 Oct. 2018
    A thoughtful account of a woman navigating through patriarchal society, memory, and the scars of growing up. It's humorous, bold, and honest. A great one-woman show!
  • You Are What You
    24 Sep. 2018
    You Are What You is a comedy with delightful farcical elements, but it's also a a moving portrait of a pair of two sisters, with a deliciously satisfying Pot Roast. It leaves the audience with a sense of nostalgia and a deep longing to return home, along with the hope that the future, though different, has some magic awaiting us too.
  • Meet Murasaki Shikibu Followed by Book-Signing, and Other Things
    21 Sep. 2018
    I was first introduced to this original, delightful play at the Great Plains Theatre Conference, and was luckily enough to see in production in the NYC Fringe. This play is not only incredibly funny, it's deeply moving. I'm a huge fan of Murasaki and Julia Izumi!

    A bold and daring play! A jungle-gym of language and imagery. A powerful piece!
  • Easter at the Entrée Gold
    5 Aug. 2018
    I was fortunate enough to see this play as part of New World Theatre's "It's Academic." The writing is elegant and well paced. The characters are deeply human--clever, troubled, confused, and sincere. It's a vulnerable play that tackles challenging topics, and does so with empathy and integrity.

    An engaging read! Quick-paced, deeply thoughtful, and relevant.
  • An Unexamined Life
    30 May. 2018
    Professor Wainwright and Mandy make an unlikely pair and it's their relationship that is the heart of this entertaining comedy. Both characters search for their place in the world only to find that their greatest purpose may be being each other's friend. Witty, with a strong beating heart, and an awesome Socrates, An Unexamined Life is a delightful play that balances comedy and darkness deftly, leaving the audience entertained and emotionally engaged.
  • The Saddest Word in the English Language
    21 May. 2018
    A poetic portrait of a couple struggling to maintain hope after a series of stillbirths. The Saddest Word in the English Language explores the effect that this loss has on individuals and couples and how we navigate the randomness of life. Its language and imagery is striking and memorable; its message hopeful. Reading this play is a beautiful, satisfying journey.
  • Boxed In
    21 May. 2018
    I love this play. It's an incredibly moving portrait of two brothers and the lengths that we will go to support those we love, even when we don't understand everything they do. With its mix of humor, heart, not to mention the miming, Boxed In is sure to affect audiences.
  • Ghost Walks into a Bar
    21 May. 2018
    A wonderful combination of comedy, existential dread, and romance. Ghost Walks Into a Bar is a meditation on what it means to be present. Unafraid to go dark, this play exposes, grapples with, and finds comedy and even peace in the unknown of death (and life). A great opportunity for an ensemble!
