  • The Amphibians by Dan Caffrey
    21 Jun. 2020
    “ WOW! This hit me HARD. Hilarious and depressing and frightening. A sort of coming of age story as the world is on the brink of collapse. It truly taps into all of the fears of the end of the world that we push away by playing mindless games on our phones. Loved this. Would love to see the creature onstage! ”
  • SEEING EYE by Nick Malakhow
    20 Jun. 2020
    “ A sweet, tender play about codependency and how we're all struggling to to keep it together-even if you can't see someone's scars. I really appreciated the honesty and that this WASN'T a perfect strangers to lovers kind of story. ”
  • In the Cotton by Morgan McGuire
    14 Jun. 2020
    “ An important play that should be performed not just on college campuses. This play cuts right through the bullshit and niceties of trying to sugarcoat things for audiences and gets straight to the viscera. Morgan confronts shitty allyship and bullshit arguments white people use to avoid responsibility for their racist thoughts and actions. With the intensity and suspense of long-fuse dynamite. This needs to be read and produced TODAY. ”
  • SISTER/FRIEND by Genevieve Simon
    13 Jun. 2020
    “ I read this lightning fast-I couldn't stop. A delightful combination of late 90s nostalgia, cults, and lotttttts of tension. YES, invite the estranged cousin from the End of Days cult to the Y2K party! ”
  • Something in the Balete Tree by Ren Dara Santiago
    12 Jun. 2020
    “ Achingly beautiful, poetic. Ren's words are so delicious...the character descriptions alone are so full of heart. A sad, dreamy play about ghosts, revenge, sacrifice. Visually stunning. ”
  • A Brief List of Everyone Who Died by Jacob Marx Rice
    11 Jun. 2020
    “ The only time I will ever approve of a dog dying in a play. (Not a spoiler). This play beautifully examines something that people are so afraid to talk about-the cruelty, heartbreak, and inevitability of death. The more people you love, the more you have to lose, and that is at the center of this funny, inspiring play. ”
  • The Pitchforks by Andrew Kramer

    “ HOLY SHIT. This is fantastic. A complete and utter mindfuck. Genuinely terrifying-and not just because of the horror genre. I really did not see the last scene of this play coming. Reminds me of some of my favorite plays I've ever seen, GLORIA, for one. This horror fan is satiated...and personally, I'd love to watch that film. ”
  • Bloom Bloom Pow by Genevieve Simon
    17 May. 2020
    “ I am never going to look at the Hudson River the same way again...the dead horse at the bottom of the ocean is the most frightening and metal thing I've ever heard. I love that this will be played by mostly non-cis actors and that it centers on a non-binary person. And the dialogue between the museum employees killed me. Great work! ”
  • Light Switch by Dave Osmundsen
    16 May. 2020
    “ Henry is extraordinary. This play is extraordinary. It is written with such compassion and humor. It's not often that I read an Autistic character who doesn't sound like a total cliche. This brought me so much joy and hope. I absolutely loved this play. ”
  • What Screams I Hear Are Mine by Annalise Cain

    “ Chilling. Love all the horror homages. ”
