  • Dirty Laundry by Mathilde Dratwa
    13 May. 2022
    “ I just watched an online reading of this wonderful play with The Playwrights' Center. There was so much musicality in the language. I loved the way the chorus was used at times to narrate, clarify, emphasize, or reveal what lay beneath the surface of the various characters in this complex family drama. A great story that held my interest throughout. ”

  • WANDA: A MONOLOGUE WITH A TREADMILL by Asher Wyndham
    22 Jan. 2022

The characters have depth and individuality, The play is filled with humor and pathos, but what I found the most extraordinary is how fully realized all the production elements were presented. I could easily see this marvelous play on stage. Well done! I would love to see this produced. ”
