  • A Driving Beat
    3 Sep. 2018
    This play gorgeously navigates a relationship between a mother and her teenaged son. Stuck in the car for a cross-country road trip, Mateo and Diane's interactions are, at times, contentious and bumpy, but they are smoothed over by Jordan's ability to graciously explore the identities, politics, and longings of two characters who seem worlds apart in the same car.
  • How to Bake a Genoise Sponge Without Breaking Any Eggs
    3 Sep. 2018
    I had the privilege to see a reading of this play and I feel even more privileged to review it. How to Bake... is a wonderfully constructed tale that balances the realities of mental illness and the passion of a young woman baking her way to her dream school. Never have I seen a play explore mental illness and young adulthood with such empathy and imagination as this one.
