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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!
