    “ A Lynchian dive into the philosophy of being human. FINGER provides actors with an opportunity to walk the fine line of investigation and obsession. This script gives an audience a lot to unpack and discuss about the parts that make up a human. There’s also a tremendous opportunity for a lucky props designer...
    You’ll be thinking about your appendages for weeks to come after reading this play. Definitely ready for the stage! ”
  • The Best Damn Thing by Hanna Kime
    19 Jan. 2020
    “ THE BEST DAMN THING is truly the most fitting title for this two hander. Kime develops the ultimate manic episode experience when these two young women forge an artistic collaboration and rekindle a friendship. So much care is given to the genuine expression of teenage creativity and the harsh reality of teenage society. Much like the music of Avril Lavigne, The Best Damn Thing by Hanna Kime will stick with you long after your choker gets stretched out and your eyeliner washes away. Cannot recommend enough! ”
  • Somebody's Child by Ben Braun
    30 Oct. 2019
    “ Ben Braun meticulously creates a vacuum seal for this two-hander, locking the audience in with Dan and Jan until the pressure of their fighting and the crying baby becomes too much. Funny and fragile in equal measure, SOMEBODY'S CHILD confronts inevitable changes and the sobering reevaluations that comes with it. ”
  • Bury Me by Brynne Frauenhoffer
    15 Jul. 2019
    “ Happy to have seen the full production at Dandelion Theater. This show is full of emotional twists that deepen your understanding of the characters and their experiences. Full of great opportunities for artistic discovery, the play would serve well in any theater's season. A production of this would lead to great discussions about women's right, faith, what it means to be a parent, and what it means to be human. ”
  • Revival by Erin Shea Brady
    7 Jul. 2019
    “ A quiet exploration of trauma and growth that is masterfully handled by the playwright. Representing the aunt-niece relationship seldom seen on stage, Taryn and Lena are remarkable and complex roles that any actor would be lucky to dig into. For a play about avoiding issues, this play highlights so many of them with a delicate hand and educated voice. Produce this play! ”
  • Cross Roads: An Igbo Folktale by J. Corey Buckner
    23 Jun. 2019
    “ Buckner has constructed a singular theatrical experience with Cross Roads. This play gets you all tangled up in its hoodoo magic and refuses to let you go. Well crafted characters, an edge-of-your-seat plot, and an emotional resonance that will leave you reeling for days after, this show provides marvelous opportunities for actors and designers. Any theater would be lucky to premiere this show! ”
  • Sally Has Something to Say by Gerry Ringwald
    15 Jun. 2019
    “ This script speaks directly to our political climate. Instead of choosing a side, Sally Has Something To Say is able to present the absurdity of both sides and shine a light on the growing problem with the 24-hour news cycle. A great opportunity for designers! ”
  • Kindred by Konner Wilson
    3 Jun. 2019
    “ A beautifully crafted theatrical piece. Excellent roles for women involving nuance and brevity. This is a precise script that would fit among a festival of work, or standing on its own as a night of theatre. ”
  • Paper Dream by Lyra Nalan
    3 Jun. 2019
    “ Paper Dream brings to life an overlooked part of American History. Not only does this play serve as a deeply resonating history lesson, but it also tells a beautiful story about family and sacrifice. Designers would have a lot of fun representing this show on stage. Highly recommend! ”
  • Reason for Return by DC Cathro
    13 Apr. 2019
    “ This play is defined one of it's first images: a tea kettle slowly boiling to a scream.
    In the aftermath of a school shooting, protagonists Abby and Gail begin to boil as their respective reputation and livelihood are thrown into disarray. Cathro draws you in slowly, pacing a timely and realistic family drama, but there's something more that's bubbling: a social commentary on normalized violence, the lasting effects of trauma, and the complexities of intimacy. All blend together and develop into a poignant steam that screams through the kettle of this play.
    This show demands production. ”
