  • Ben Rosenblatt: THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR

    This sexy, funny, thrilling play insightfully probes human behavior surrounding monogamy and relationships. The dialogue is crisp, filled with wit and appropriately awkward. An actor's dream. Four very well-developed, messy, complex characters. Demonstrates that any relationship of true worth is hard, no matter the sexual approach, and doesn't let us off the hook with any easy answers. Really enjoyed it!

  • Ben Rosenblatt: Back Cover

    A moving play with a great message. Sweet and simple until it's not anymore. A surprising plot twist sheds powerful light on the play's opening phrase, before Hageman brings it all full circle. A perfect play for young performers, with motifs that resonate for audiences of all ages.

  • Ben Rosenblatt: THE BELLE OF BELMAR

    Another really good play by Nicole. Handles heavy topics like rape, bullying, coping with disability, the trials of a single parent, and maintains a healthy balance of humor and pathos. A timely piece. Transported me immediately to my High School days and compelled me to take an honest look at myself and the type of friend I was/am to both my female and male friends. Offers hope without letting us off the hook.

  • Ben Rosenblatt: PUMP

    Compellingly highlights the damaging effects of capitalist America's eroding value system and the selfishness engendered by the pursuit of success. Witty, quick and often funny dialogue. Fully human characters. Moving family dynamics. Surprising and satisfying twists.

  • Searingly honest and timely. A perfect topic for docudrama and excellent in its execution. Spurred me into deep self-reflection. An important piece.

    Beautiful. A moving and poetic exploration of depression and the many forms it takes. Lucid and uncluttered, unique and hypnotic and dreamlike and delicate. At once, bleak and hopeful. There's tremendous power in the breathing room. A gorgeous play!

    Charmingly old-timey and nostalgic, but new. Full of warmth and heart. Wistful and honest. Saw a preview performance at PCS and just read it now. Excellent.
