  • Panegyric by Kenneth N. Kurtz
    4 Apr. 2019
    “ This vision of literary purgatory is engaging and charming when three artists land on a beautiful tropical island and find their heart's delight awaiting them. But like all visions, they find their dark sides as well and the perils of finding their own Neverland. ”
  • Lost Portraits by Kenneth N. Kurtz
    4 Apr. 2019
    “ This is an insightful triptych with the focus on the painter as well as the subjects. Once again Kenneth N. Kurtz brings his erudite style and powerful love of history to the stage where art history comes to genuine life with touches of humor and feeling. ”
  • Merde de Canard by Kenneth N. Kurtz
    4 Apr. 2019
    “ How can you not love a duck, especially a mechanical one that shits on command? This is a delightful French-style farce in the best sense with witty dialogue, mistaken identities, slamming doors, and, of course, the duck! ”
  • Chiaroscuro by Kenneth N. Kurtz
    28 Mar. 2019
    “ This is most definitely not Art History as you might remember it from the dry lectures at a dusty old museum. This is a stunning and evocative story told as much with scenic elements as it is with dialogue, both of which are powerful. Kenneth N. Kurtz knows how to weave a story among the light and shadow, and it will leave you breathless. ”
  • Before the Storm, a Monologue by Francis RTM Boyle
    6 Mar. 2019
    “ Sometimes the greatest distance between thought and spoken word is the moment a breath is taken before we speak. This monologue carries the weight of the world and wastes not a word. This would be a fine piece for an audition to demonstrate the actor's ability to show the ability to control their urge to "act." ”
  • ON THE ROOF by Donna Hoke
    26 Feb. 2019
    “ Donna Hoke has an uncanny and very powerful way of conveying history and characters in a seamless way that brings you right into the story with them. This play stayed with me after my first and second reading to the point that I felt that not only did I know the people whose lives we see, but I missed them when it was over. I'm old enough to remember life pre-Stonewall, and this play brings it out for those who came after to understand what life was really like. ”
  • The Great Gaffe by Jennifer O'Grady
    4 Feb. 2019
    “ This is a delightful visit with two legendary writers in their element: revealing their true character. Jennifer O'Grady shares her love of history and her affection for these people in a way that makes you absolutely sure this is a recollection of a true moment. ”
  • What Love Must Be by Franky D. Gonzalez
    24 Jan. 2019
    “ What we see and hear... is it what we really see and hear? What Franky Gonzalez does so well, as he does in all his writing, is use language and words at a lyrical level that enhances the suspense, and the poetry of the dialogue is enchanting in both its depth and deceptively simple delivery. Every word, every movement, every silence builds the tension and makes us watch and listen. ”
  • Letter of the Law by Steven Hayet
    29 Dec. 2018
    “ Don't tell me you don't know parents who pull this kind of thing on their unsuspecting little darlings and think they can get away with it. This is a perfect life lesson, and not just for Christmas anymore. ”
  • Hotter Than Thoreau by Julie Zaffarano
    24 Dec. 2018
    “ This is a nugget of wisdom and insight wrapped up in a comical tale of two people who look for nothing but surface and find reality is more than skin deep. I would love to see this play in any short play festival for all audiences; it speaks to all of us as people and a culture obsessed with appearances. ”
