  • MISSION CREEP by Bee Scott
    2 May. 2023
    “ At the heart of a humorous dystopian reality is a very real and terrifying threat to anyone who identifies as asexual, or doesn't fall into cis hetero monogamy. This play made me uneasy in all the best ways. ”
  • Diving Board by Malena Pennycook
    21 Apr. 2023
    “ I really love this play about the terror of being a young woman, being trained by everything and everyone around you to anticipate harm and fear. I love these characters and Malena's dark humor. Spooktacular. ”
  • The Murder Play with Jack & Melissa by Matthew McLachlan
    4 Apr. 2023
    “ Meet Jack, your new favorite serial killer. He's actually a pretty nice guy. A hilarious play about two lonely people and a couple of chopped up bodies. ”
  • This God Damn House by Matthew McLachlan
    1 Apr. 2023
    “ I can't stop thinking about this play. A harrowing, heartbreaking, funny, and devastating family drama. As the brothers unearth more filth, the true nature of their mother comes out, culminating in a chilling ending. Angie is a character who you fear and empathize with, who you want to know more about even as she shows her true colors. A beautifully orchestrated race against the clock. ”
  • take me down to the levee by Riley Elton McCarthy

    “ Gothic horror with a comedic twist. Riley's characters are so alive (or in this case, undead) it's scary. I loved the horrific backdrop of the homophobic and transphobic bible belt, the hypocrisy of gun politics, and the scrutiny of evil. Most surprising was how laugh out loud funny this was. ”
  • ASS2MOUTH by Haygen-Brice Walker
    23 Feb. 2023
    “ Cosmic, horror, filthy, queer, hilarious, brutal, nauseating, kinky, wacky, WET...this play is a wild ride and a fascinating portrait of queer teens coming into their identity. ”
  • Slowly And Then All At Once by Katherine Vondy
    20 Feb. 2023
    “ A haunting, beautiful play about a couple trying to survive a world that hasn't quite yet ended. A terrifying but plausible view of the future that makes one question where loyalties lie. When everything is literally crumbling to dust and celebrities on TV are no longer relevant (and possibly even dead), is blood really thicker than water? ”
  • juice by Mackenzie Raine Kirkman
    12 Feb. 2023
    “ A profoundly disturbing play with echoes of Waiting for Godot, The Twilight Zone, and Saw! Green is used to the black stuff. Blue is not. Are they friends or enemies? What happens over time is up to you. For me, it felt like a play about assault, denial, cycles of violence and abuse. For you, it could be something else...it's juice. ”
  • The Beasts of Warren by Azure D Osborne-Lee
    12 Feb. 2023
    “ An eerie world that looks different, but operates similarly to our own. Reminiscent of The Rats of Nimh. Like holding up a mirror to our own cruelties and hypocrisy. Would love to see how it plays out onstage. ”
  • The Reservoir by Jake Brasch
    11 Feb. 2023
    “ Never have I ever burst into tears while READING a play. Jake is such a special writer. Their characters are so familiar and funny and surprising. A beautiful, honest portrayal of how hard (but not impossible) sobriety is and how weird and hilarious the journey is. Even the hearts you smash along the way. But there's always room for amends. Brilliant work. ”
