  • Borne Dust by Kimberly Dixon-Mays
    5 May. 2021
    “ I read this play while it was still development, and was struck by the theatricality and Kimberly's strong voice. She's a confident writer who guides you into her world with a deft hand. I found this play to be moving and disturbing. ”
  • Wendy and the Neckbeards by Kari Bentley-Quinn
    14 Nov. 2019
    “ Biting. Upsetting. Real. This play made me wonder about how much it really takes for a man to be pushed into the incel/Reddit/Looney Toon world of on-line trolls. ”
  • REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS by L.C. Bernadine

    “ These two characters are so weird and wonderful. LC creates an intimate world of two struggling humans that ends up addressing the issues of capitalism and homelessness, but in a way that seeps in quietly. Nothing in this play hits you over the head. It's subtle and lovely. ”
  • The Worst Mother in the World by Kari Bentley-Quinn
    30 Mar. 2019
    “ A moving play about dark underbelly of motherhood. It asks the question, "What happens when you don't have the capacity to love your child," and it does it with both humor and honesty. All the characters are both flawed and sympathetic. ”
  • THE ABUELAS by Stephanie Alison Walker
    8 Mar. 2019
    “ Beautifully written story of a family with a painful past. Lots of humor to help with the heavy subject matter. A slice of history I knew nothing about. ”
  • MISSION CREEP by Bee Scott

    “ Smart, funny, weird. A look at sexual sacrifices in a dystopian future. ”
  • The Woman, The Dog and The Machete by Dana Lynn Formby
    1 Oct. 2018
    “ Fascinating play that plays with gender and race. The premise creates an uncertainty in the audience that leaves them on edge and really asking questions about power dynamics and identity. Love this play. ”
  • The Hero's Wife by Aline Lathrop

    “ I've worked in the domestic violence field for a long time, and one of the most frustrating thing that lay people say is "Why do they stay?" I feel like this play addresses that question with such subtly and nuance. It's a story about two people trying to process violence through each other. It's about deep love and connection, and the desire to get inside one's partner's head. A beautifully told story. I saw the world premiere production at 16th Street Theatre and the fight choreography brought the script to life so beautifully. ”
  • Mother Lode by Jenni Lamb
    12 Sep. 2018
    “ Mother Lode is a look at some intensely frustrating aspects of working motherhood, and how society, coworkers, corporations, and family can conspire to amplify those frustrations. The main character is caught in a no-win situation as she tries to go back to work after the birth of her daughter. Great dialogue, smartly drawn characters, and themes that we don't see enough of on stage. ”
  • Derailed by Hallie Palladino
    12 Sep. 2018
    “ An nicely interwoven look at ambition, capitalism, altruism, and privilege. Interesting, well-developed characters from diverse backgrounds who are trying to rewrite their pasts in various ways. Snappy dialogue, some laugh out loud moments in this drama. ”
