  • Jan Rosenberg: Rx Machina

    I love when a play is not easily resolved and solutions don't come easy. This is an honest depiction of humans dealing with pain and addiction from multiple side. This play points no fingers and provides no neat, wrapped up conclusions. I loved Hannah's speech and the moments where she dropped it and spoke 'normally'. It's a very powerful, exciting way to show that not everything here is black and white. This is a play in real time, because it's all-too real and urgent.

  • Jan Rosenberg: The Interrobangers

    Those last few lines gave me a chill. I love this concept-using Scooby Doo tropes to tell a story of a group of teens coming to terms with trauma and their own queerness. I loved Luna's monologue at the end. I'm rooting for these kids. I'm especially rooting for Hoover.

  • Jan Rosenberg: FISH MEAT

    A beautiful, painful story of two women from different time periods struggling to find their place in the world and not knowing who they can trust. I'm blown away by how Esme brought their two worlds together. It's not easy do accomplish what they have, and I was intrigued and invested the whole time. Love the poetry and marine biology. I fully support becoming a fish to survive climate crisis.

  • Jan Rosenberg: Play House

    I love home invasion horror AND dinner party horror, and this was delightfully weird, creepy, and hilarious.

  • Jan Rosenberg: Victorian Psychedelic Sleepover Play

    Imagine if the babysitters club got together and were super literary and created a zine and took a sh-t ton of drugs. Most writers need drugs to get to Mak's level of consciousness. her plays are so immersed with poetry, history, and smelly, smelly teen spirit.

  • Jan Rosenberg: The Matriarchs

    Liba's universe is beautiful. This play reads like a novel. A beautiful, hilarious, and bittersweet journey of growing up and growing apart. And asking questions and being afraid of the answer. Achingly gorgeous, and a fascinating exploration of the Talmud and fertility.

  • Jan Rosenberg: Love I AWETHU Further

    I don't know how to even begin to describe this beautiful play, but it left me bereft. a.k is a remarkably gifted poet and storyteller. This is an unbelievably powerful play, and I'm excited to see it in production.

  • Jan Rosenberg: CHINESE REPUBLICANS

    Alex's play is wild, teeth gnashing, shocking, and HILARIOUS. A total roller coaster ride. Will have you rooting for the right people...and the wrong people. Sometimes it's hard to tell who is who. Can't wait to see this onstage!

  • Jan Rosenberg: bogfriends

    This play is tender, strange, hilarious, heartwarming, and most importantly, boggy. And it features one of the best proposal scenes you'll ever see in a play.

  • Jan Rosenberg: Untitled Babysitting Play

    Odd and creepy and baffling. Not once did I feel safe. The call is coming from inside the house...
