Harmon should be commended for his use of language in this piece. The stage directions, especially, have a life all their own - and it's that life that charges this play forward, hurdling it towards tensions that will not leave you even after the play reaches its conclusion.

What a punch to pack in ten minutes.

TJ Young is quickly becoming one of my favorite playwrights. He has such a distinct voice and is a real pro at writing tragedy. This play is no exception. If you've ever struggled with writing family dramas or wanted a great example of a modern one, "Dark Skinned Pavement" is a masterclass. Read it and produce it because I can't wait to see it on stage.

This is a beautiful script. It's story is as tender and complex as its characters. The relationships, especially between Robbie and Jason, and Jason and Jordan, respectively, are nothing short of authentic. For those of you that love a character driven plot, SEEING EYE fits the bill. If you're considering reading, which I hope you do, enjoy the ride. Be prepared to clench your teeth and shed a tear or two.

A dark, deliciously twisted comedy. Any lover of mythology will have a great time finding allusions throughout the play. I know I did! It has some really wonderful roles in here for LGBTQ+ actors to boot. Plenty of surprises in store for readers and audience members alike. The thing I loved most, though, I have to say is the wit.

Oh, the wit of this play. Well done, Mr. DeVita.

I could tell you that Enferma is populated by complicated people - not characters. I could go on about how this is a truly original work with a roller-coaster plot with plenty of twists and turns that leaves reader satisfied by the end, all loose ends tied by the play's end. I'd talk your ear off about the play's use of language, structurally and artistically (great script for Spanish speakers and/or companies looking to utilize the internet in as a living part of their production.)

What I will say instead is this: "Read it. You'll be glad you did."

I love when stories get an update. I'm a sucker for mythology/theological plays. I'm so glad I could experience Eyes Shut. Door Open. - it was right up my alley. It's lyricism has a nightmare-ish hypnotism about it that keeps you enthralled to the end. Definitely worth the read.

A wonderful exploration of the gap between Boomer and Millennial, pre and post-Stonewall generations. There really is no right or wrong - only differences. Thompson's even-tempered approach to these characters helps us remember that we're all living in the same house, we're only looking out different windows. It's a piece that makes the heart feel and the mind think. Can't ask for much more than that.

I love it when playwrights are able to incorporate elements of sci-fi into their work. I love it even more when it is able to enhance the human elements of a piece. In "Used Time," Salant does just that. This is a ten minute that gives great care and makes great use of silences. The piece is certainly a win and would be great fun for actors and directors alike.

Breathtaking.

Heart-wrenching.

I got the wind knocked out of me with this one. The way Salant is able to communicate pain in this piece is nothing short of beautiful. RITE OF PASSAGE is lives up to its name - not only for the crucible the play sends its characters through, but for the how it challenges and changes its audience for having experienced the piece. It's a story I hope is shared again and again.

Young blends elements of Greek tragedy seamlessly into the modern day. The poetry pouring out of this piece is nothing short of extraordinary. There's also a wonderful blend of comedy seen in Young's spin of the Greek Chorus which gives the audience a chance to catch their breath. I can't express enough how much I love how it tackles grief in all its forms, how we grieve - how others perceive, even judge that grief.

Give LYON'S DEN a read.
