  • Rite of Passage by Izzy Salant
    5 Sep. 2019
    “ 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. ”
  • Lyon's Den by TJ Young
    24 Aug. 2019
    “ 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. ”
  • PARTNER OF — by Rachael Carnes
    21 Aug. 2019
    “ What a wonderful piece.

    History plays should have us look at the past to start a conversation or to shed a light on something we don't talk about. Carnes does both here, and in only 10 minutes too.

    The dialogue is as poetic as it is painful. The play as a whole is nothing short of absolutley nessesary. It has plenty of reccomendations for a reason.

    PARTNER OF - deserves a read. It will make you think. It will make you feel. ”
  • The Fierce Urgency Of Now by Doug DeVita
    30 Jul. 2019
    “ Fierce is right. DeVita really delivers some cutting dialogue with some real zip and pepper behind it. For how hard hitting it is, I was wonderfully surprised by the ending.

    Definitely the play to read if you want dynamic characters and a breath of fresh air. ”
  • Arsonist by Jacqueline Goldfinger
    23 Jul. 2019
    “ I've always been a big fan of music in plays. Goldfinger uses it to great effect, here. THE ARSONISTS is a well of inspiration for playwrights in terms of breaking the molds of style.

    The play has a lot to say about letting go... so much so that I find myself returning to it again and again. ”
  • Bully Dance by David Valdes
    18 Jul. 2019
    “ I had the pleasure of reading this play a few years ago and it is one that has stuck with me. The power of this piece radiates off the page. The blend of reality and the dream-like memory world is also done with great tact. I hope and I pray that this play gets put up on its feet again and again. It grapples with loss and forgiveness in such a beautiful way. Most importantly, it sticks with you. It makes you think. ”
  • BOOTS by Rachael Carnes
    18 Jul. 2019
    “ I'm glad this play was recommended to me. One of the reasons I love the theatre is because it's an art form like no other. Rachael Carnes' BOOTS proves that in a lovey way. Certainly a fun piece for any ten-minute festival! ”
  • Grown-Ass Louis by Bruce Walsh
    17 Jul. 2019
    “ This is by far one of my favorite ten minute plays. For how funny it is, it's also profoundly moving. Perfect for any ten minute festival.

    Give it a read. I think you'll love the challenges the script proposes. ”
  • Unspoken by Sarah Cosgrove Gaumond
    12 Jul. 2019
    “ Trauma and abuse are things we need to be talking about, especially in today's world. Gaumond does so with great effect. In UNSPOKEN, Gaumond also plays with and commands time and space wonderfully.

    It's a truly healing work.

    I would love to see this play. ”
  • The Jew from Three Rivers by Lawrence Aronovitch
    12 Jul. 2019
    “ This is the kind of theatre we need more of: stories that beg to be told. I had never heard of Ezekiel Hart until I read this play. I'm glad Aronovitch introduced me to him.

    The play is set in 1807, yes, but the heartbeat of the play is a familiar one.
    The heartache is all too familiar, as well. ”
