  • Party at the Pantheon: A Modern Greek Stoner Comedy by Michael Jones
    3 Mar. 2024
    “ Hilarious! Like your favorite stoner comedies, it's full of quotable lines, stupid bits, and characters so vibrant you just want to jump on stage and party with them. So many fun design opportunities too! ”
  • Wise Guys: The First Christmas Story by Chase Wheaton-Werle
    3 Mar. 2024
    “ An idea so good, I'm surprised no one has done it! WISE GUYS is a fantastic road trip comedy full of laughs, suspense, and so much heart. A new holiday classic! ”
  • Quinlyn Can Paint by Zach Barr
    29 Jan. 2024
    “ An incredible play from an incredible playwright! Barr reckons with an artist's (and a human's) greatest struggles in this taut meditation on creation. A stunning theatrical achievement that will keep an audience engaged long after the curtain goes down. ”
  • Think Fast, Jordan Chase! by Sonia Goldberg
    16 Dec. 2023
    “ I absolutely love this play! A choose-your-own-adventure play that keeps all ages engaged in choice-making and lesson-learning! A script that never condescends or simplifies its message. JORDAN CHASE is a lovely example of TYA done right! ”
  • It Girl by Hanna Kime
    12 Oct. 2023
    “ I was lucky enough to see a reading of this at The Goodman this summer and haven't stopped thinking about it since. Kime is one of the finest playwrights of her generation and this play is proof of that. IT GIRL speaks to the millennial obsession with exploitation narratives and provides a nuanced view of the institutional problems that keep the cycle alive. Absolutely incredible work. Theaters should be fighting over this one. ”
  • Big Time Toppers by Patrick Vermillion
    6 Jul. 2023
    “ Big Time Toppers is a beautiful, tragic, and downright silly play about the chaotic and destructive nature of following your dreams. Much like the featured hurricane, Vermillion swirls a powerful narrative that starts at 100mph and only escalates from there. You will laugh at, sympathize with, and see yourself in these clowns; their struggle is perfect for the stage. There is so much theatrical potential in this script, you'd be a total clown not to produce this show! ”
  • FireMother by Andra Hunter
    23 Apr. 2023
    “ I was so fortunate to have seen this piece at the William Inge Theatre Festival New Play Lab! Hunter provides a meditative and thorough examination on grief that provides the audience with a nuanced understanding of a character’s sadness in such a short amount of time. This universal topic is filtered through such a specific and fascinating lens. A great challenge for a director and actors that should be taken advantage of! ”
  • BOX OF TEETH by Tori Rice
    22 Apr. 2023
    “ I was so lucky to have a seen a reading of this at the William Inge Theatre Festival New Play Lab! An expertly crafted two-hander full of humor and pathos. Rice has a deep and rich understanding of Setting and gives the audience an immediate connection to the world of the play. There's an incredibly strong dynamic to the characters that would entice any actors. Cannot wait to see the long life of this piece! ”
  • The Damp, Dark Room Just Off the Parlor by John Adams
    22 Apr. 2023
    “ I was lucky enough to see a reading of this play at the William Inge Theatre Festival New Play Lab! Adams has a knack for genre-forward storytelling that doesn't sacrifice character depth. There is endless joy to be found here: acting opportunities, design choices, presentation... Any theatermaker would have a blast working on this piece! ”
  • Slaughter by Ivan Faute
    21 Apr. 2023
    “ I was thrilled to have seen this play at the William Inge Theatre Festival New Play Lab, if for no other reason, to actually see someone stage it! This is a complex piece, technically and emotionally. Though audiences will walk away drawing different conclusions, I always felt guided by Faute's theatrical prowess toward a subconscious goal. Truly a very skilled piece by a very skilled dramatist! I dare you to produce it! ”
