  • Ada by Aeneas Sagar Hemphill
    13 Feb. 2022
    “ This is an exciting, frightening, and all too topical play. Aeneas has created a world that feels all too close to ours, and it's the journey of getting to know Ada and her superiors (and maybe sometimes allies) was thrilling and heartbreaking. This is a play that will challenge and get under the skin. It will quite literally grab you in a robot-grip vice, especially in the last few scenes. ”
  • Shadows in the Dark by Reinette LeJeune

    “ This solo show is a brilliant, brutal, sad, and surprisingly funny nightmare of a literal and figurative transition. As Harley tests out how safe the waters are outside her bedroom door, we see just how toxic and flawed her cis peers are, even when they think they have the best intentions. I loved the structure of this play, I loved Harley (and poor Bubba). I hope there's a world beyond this play where she gets her own place! ”
  • exceptional by Mak Shealy

    “ Every time I read a play by Mak Shealy I am more awed and impressed by how big they go. I love this dark, queer story. What struck me most in this play that revolves around a missing missing girl is how Jay's biggest fear is not that Addie might be dead, but that she may have chosen a life without them. Filled with Shealy's haunting poetry-you'll never hear dialogue like this in any other play. ”
  • I and You by Lauren Gunderson

    “ I was going full speed with this play, and the ending hit me right in the face. Beautifully and brilliantly crafted. ”
  • be mean to me by Sofya Levitsky-Weitz

    “ 17 and 27 are pretty similar, and that's scary. So are ghosts and Bright Eyes. Love a good toxic female friendship story. ”

    “ This is fantastic. Scary, sad, mysterious, funny, and incredibly atmospheric. Very much in awe! ”
  • good friday by Kristiana Rae Colón

    “ I don't think I breathed while reading this. This is brutal and unflinching. Makes you question how far we need to be pushed to become violent. Really shook up, especially by that final stage direction. ”
  • The Nothing That Is Something (formerly Locked In) by J. Joseph Cox
    12 Jun. 2021
    “ Haunting. Would love to see this staged! ”
  • where the water takes us by Mak Shealy
    16 Jan. 2021
    “ Such a beautiful play. A reminder that our time on earth is fleeting and yet it is a rather hopeful play, even if the hope may be nothing more than a dream. I loved Sabine and Tansy's relationship and how literally no distance could tear them apart for long. This is much more than just a play about climate change. It is a lyrical family space opera. ”
  • GEN by Mak Shealy

    “ I am so excited, speechless, terrified, and euphoric after reading this play. Makaela is an ingenius poet and storyteller and when she invites horror into her storytelling? LOOK OUT. A play about a haunted house, a haunted family, revenge, and chosen family. Absolutely blown away! ”
