  • Kate Mickere: All the Emilies in All the Universes by Ian August
    “

    All of the Emilies had me crying at a READING and I don't think that's ever happened before. This play uses the multiverse to beautifully explore all of the facets of a woman's grief. (It's WandaVision without all of that annoying Marvel backstory.) It's also funny and charming. God is an Ina Garten like TV food personality who whips up entire universes in her mixing bowl. What a delight!

  • Kate Mickere: Stand Your Ground by Patrick Vermillion

    Stand Your Ground defied all of my expectations of what a play about gun violence in Florida could be. It's funny, provocative and fascinating. I've never seen a reading where the audience was so invested in each reveal and turn. The play is an exciting challenge for designers that I would love to see on the stage!

  • Kate Mickere: Three Cities by Katherine Vondy
    “

    Three Cities is an intriguing play about unrequited romance in the modern age. (And it's a two-hander with minimal sets! SO PRODUCABLE!) Kat's writing is clever: just when you think you know where the play is going, it takes an exciting turn. The play is a funny and bittersweet gem.

  • Kate Mickere: BETTIE PAGE IN THE MODERN AGE by Piper Werle
    “

    I saw a reading of "Bettie Page" at the 2019 Last Frontier Theatre Conference and loved how funny, sweet, and edgy it was. I haven't seen many plays that explore female sexuality in such an honest and thoughtful way. As someone with their own hang-ups and insecurities, Hazel's journey made me feel less alone!

  • Kate Mickere: Who Put Bella In The Wych Elm? by Katherine Vondy

    In writing about an unsolved mystery from 1943, Katherine Vondy actually managed to create a play that explores what it means to be a modern independent woman. The playwright has a knack for clever dialogue that makes every page a delight to read. Highly recommended!
