  • Jan Rosenberg: the wolf you feed

    This is fantastic. Dark, creepy, and laugh out loud funny. I absolutely loved the world of this play and all of the characters. The wolf that wins is the one you feed.

  • Jan Rosenberg: Big Black Balloon

    Loved this play. It's so rare to see eating disorders manifested onstage, ESPECIALLY a story that focuses on a male with body dysmorphia and exercise addiction. I loved how Henry and Cleo's insecurities manifest as imaginary friends. Because let's face it, who doesn't have a voice in their head sometimes?

  • Jan Rosenberg: Charlie's Waiting

    I love Melisa's writing. Louise and Kelly have a great relationship, but the day before their wedding, a mysterious stranger threatens to ruin everything. Really makes you question how well you know the person you love. Very suspenseful (and funny AF).

  • Jan Rosenberg: The New Galileos

    My heart was in my throat reading this. Amy has written a play with the highest of stakes-there are no easy choices, and this play is eerily plausible. We get to know the 3 imprisoned women well through flashbacks, and it makes the ending all the more harrowing. A very important play for this time.

  • Jan Rosenberg: The Mermaids' Parade

    This play is magic. It's a punk fairytale set in Coney Island. Gina's characters and dialogue is always electric, and I loved how this play plays with myths and then debunks them. Funny and tragic and hopeful.

  • Jan Rosenberg: Living Creatures

    A thought provoking, creepy play about grief, regret, and sacrifice. And consequences, OH BOY, the consequences...

  • Jan Rosenberg: spoons

    This is a really beautiful, concise play about what happens when we let ourselves get too close. Or when we suddenly let someone in. I loved that this was a play about a transactional relationship between 2 strangers and it was never about sex and never went into romcom territory.

  • Jan Rosenberg: Shut Up, I'm on a Diet!

    Hilarious satire of Eating Disorder treatment centers. As hysterical as this play is, it's really not far from the truth. This play manages to make you laugh AND punch you in the gut. Sometimes the people who love us the most are not the people who have our best interests at heart.

  • Jan Rosenberg: Honors Students

    Fawning over this play. It goes from zero to one hundred in just 2 pages. It might be hard to watch, and it's certainly not for the faint of heart, but the power play between teenage girls can be dangerous, and nothing about this is farfetched. The ways we love each other, the ways we try to keep each other, and the ways we try to hurt each other...it's all here. Completely unexpected, unpredictable, and delightful if you're not too scared to look away. Brava!

  • Jan Rosenberg: Tall Tales

    This play WRECKED me. Heartbreaking, horrifying play where homophobia and hatred is a literal monster that leaves a trial of trauma in its wake. A splendid work of socio-political horror that is legitimately scary and has the heart of Stephen King's It. Reminded me a bit of 'Heroes of the Fourth Turning'. I was so taken with these characters. Beautiful work.
