A masterful piece for the right foursome with strong scenes for F/F, M/F and M/M. Well-crafted, excellently paced, and a scene study dream. Fully locked and loaded.

ACCOMMODATION gives overworked and underappreciated teachers a long-overdue and particularly satisfying voice. It highlights the increasingly impossible task we demand of our educators at the risk of ultimately teaching our children nothing. Exciting, imaginative, and necessary as educators face a rising cell-phone-toting, prescription-wielding generation. We cannot wait to see the ripples this piece makes as it develops.

A gripping two-hander set at a 10-year college reunion in a fancy bathroom. Brilliant roles for two strong actresses. Taut, controversial and discussion-worthy. A very exciting and timely piece that navigates race, success, and ownership. It leaves this reader pondering many things, including: Can someone own a story? In fact,...doesn't this one belong to Thomas because he wrote it...?

A trippy cocktail of ALICE IN WONDERLAND meets JEFFERSON AIRPLANE meets GO ASK ALICE with three dynamic heroines to boot. A piece commissioned to defy the boundaries of the modern living room play, and it doesn't just defy - it starts a darn revolution. Simply put, I have not read anything this exciting in a while. Kudos to New Georges for commissioning this adventure and to Corthron for surpassing the challenge. Brilliantly conceived and imaginatively executed.

A domestic piece that expertly investigates the multi-layered challenges of raising a child with autism. Painfully real, even with a cyber-relationship and a child who isn't really there.

A technological take on rape, frat culture, hacking and the pitfalls of having only one identity in this world. Who do we become when we've been compromised and how far will we go to become someone new? A piece that moves at the speed of technology with a wholly new cyber-persepctive on the Greek chorus. Disturbing and timely.

A swift absurdist one-act a la Durang and Albee in which a hopefully neurotic couple flails during an international adoption interview. Seriously laugh-out-loud absurdism that at times isn't so absurd after all.

A heart-melting alien invasion tale with quirky humor reminiscent of THIRD ROCK FROM THE SUN and THE NEIGHBORS but from a uniquely adolescent perspective. Replete with roller derby, salad and a dad named Nancy. Touching, smart and genuinely funny, but also full of the pathos and regret emblematic of growing up. Ultimately, it begs the question: is humanity worth saving? Honest monologues for a young adult actress.

A quirky romp from the depressing Stop n' Run to Peter Penguinland, home of eternal happiness. A hopeful black comedy marked by White's emblematic dark humor, quixotic characters, and relentless optimism.

A multi-layered exploration of transition - between sleep and waking, male and female, groundedness and flight. Poetic, peripatetic but still practical. Inclusive in scope and concisely packaged. A uniquely topical read.
