  • The Last Week by Jessie Salsbury
    21 Apr. 2023
    “ So happy to have seen this at the William Inge Theatre Festival New Play Lab! A meditative piece on death and dying that gives an audience the opportunity to reflect on our own mortality. Though, the piece is never dour. Through the character's acceptance of his situation and the compassion showed to him, the audience is able to accept an aspect of our lives that we often avoid. A very human and humane piece! ”
  • A Toast (from the THE WRINKLE RANCH AND OTHER PLAYS ABOUT GROWING OLD collection) by Debra A. Cole
    21 Apr. 2023
    “ I was fortunate enough to see this short play at the William Inge Theatre Festival New Play Lab. Cole's masterful use of character creation gives us a well-established relationship from the jump that expands and expounds right up to the punch. A great piece that will have audiences immediately invested and give actors great opportunities for dynamic moments! Would love to see it fully produced! ”
  • The Curious Circumstances of Louis Le Prince by Chase Wheaton-Werle
    22 Mar. 2023
    “ While the true-life mystery is gripping, what keeps you engaged with "The Curious Circumstances of Louis Le Price" is the human story at the center of the narrative. Wheaton-Werle has crafted a succinct and theatrical examination of creativity, corporate greed, legacy, and love in this pulse-pounding play. Any theater would be lucky to premiere this wonderful show! ”
  • littlespace, or the daddy play by Marjorie Muller
    14 Jul. 2022
    “ Marjorie Muller's "littlespace, or the daddy play" was such a captivating and compassionate work! The characters are rich, realistic, and fully realized. Not only is this show ready for production, it would be the highlight of any season. Can't wait to see it fully realized! ”
  • THE VIRGINIAN: A HORSEMAN OF THE PLAINS by L.C. Bernadine and Spencer Huffman by L.C. Bernadine
    19 Jan. 2022
    “ An epic theatrical western that carries the torch of the original source material while shining a light on contemporary themes. Bernadine & Huffman have created a tremendous work with complex roles, inventive staging opportunities, and a sharp and dynamic story that’ll keep audiences on the edge of their seats. A perfect fit to any theater’s season! ”
  • An Untitled New Play By Justin Timberlake by Matt Schatz
    26 Dec. 2021
    “ Thankful to have caught City Theatre's production! Matt Schatz delivers a wonderful musical about striving for a better tomorrow. While this show is so uniquely about theatre, it never alienates the broader audience. Well drawn characters with realistic expectations and flaws. A terrific piece that every weirdly named and over-abbreviated company should be producing! ”
  • The Back Pocket Play by Sonia Goldberg
    25 May. 2021
    “ A fast-paced and insightful piece of theatre. Goldberg's The Back Pocket Play is full of incredibly dynamic characters with rich perspectives and flaws. This play offers the opportunity for an often overlooked, but important, element of anti-racism work: white people talking to each other about their privilege and racial inequality. Any theater would be lucky to have this show in their season. ”
  • Next Door by Hanna Kime
    8 Mar. 2021
    “ With NEXT DOOR, Kime has written an intense and lasting work that will make you desperately seek out a full production. Richly drawn characters and an explosive plot that will shake you to your core. No one does a layered critique of suburban feminism that spirals into madness quite like Hanna! ”
  • When It Comes We Can Worry Then by Konner Wilson
    28 Feb. 2021
    “ "When It Comes..." is a defining coming-of-age play for young women on the verge of change. Thoroughly theatrical in set up, this play works in the smallest black box and largest proscenium. At its center are two well drawn characters full of insecurities, dreams, and glimpses of their futures. A moving piece of theatre that demands to be produced. ”
  • Conversations About an Empty Suit by Madelyn Sergel
    30 Jun. 2020
    “ If you’ve ever felt adrift in your artistic career (and who hasn’t?), this script is for you. Sergel pulls no punches in a frank discussion of the state of theater-making, the unbalanced road to success, and the bittersweet compromise of a life in the arts. While some may inaccurately label this work as “inside baseball”, the reality is that everyone struggles with Where They Want To Be, Where They Are, and How They Got There. This is a play about coming to terms with Life, and that’s a play for every audience. ”
