  • J.Lois Diamond: Fallen to the Communists

    What a touching and funny play, showing the awkward relations between fathers and daughters. The humor stems straight from the heart of the clueless characters who are caught in uncharted territory. I would love to see this staged!

  • J.Lois Diamond: Just an Old Woman in a Rocking Chair

    I had the pleasure of hearing this play read at The Valdez Theatre Conference. It's a poignant, rich play which was subtle and moving. It has strong complex female characters. I would love to see this play fully staged!

  • J.Lois Diamond: A Moment of Clarity

    Very poignant play, which captures a tender moment between an elderly father and son. Powerful and honest, with two compelling roles.

  • J.Lois Diamond: MEN ON THE VERGE OF A HIS-PANIC BREAKDOWN

    I loved these monologues. They were filled with the dark wit that only the most marginalized can summon in difficult times. In their specificity, they show us the universality of humanity, and truly capture the immigrant experience. I would love to see this performed before a live audience.

  • J.Lois Diamond: Reporter Girl

    This is a breathtaking ride which vividly captures three generations of a family of women, all through the lens of the creator of a famous comic strip. I loved the way Rohrman seamlessly navigates between the worlds of fantasy and reality, crossing through intergenerational decades of heart break and struggle. It features three strong women's roles. I would love to see this performed!

  • J.Lois Diamond: Bride of Bigfoot

    Lawing takes us on a wild journey, along with his characters. It's got everything, intergenerational conflict, suspense, surprise and a wicked sense of humor. This would be a fun addition to a short play festival with some great roles.

  • J.Lois Diamond: Hair Undone

    This play manages to cover everything we've been experiencing in the last year, our relationship to zoom, our hair, each other and the pandemic, all in 7 short pages. It was moving, funny and full of surprises. So well written, and would be a real treat for two lucky actresses!

    This play is full of dark suspense. A riveting tale that rings all too true. Well done!

  • J.Lois Diamond: Eating in the Dark

    This absurd play is full of dark humor. It has the feel of a hallucinated confession as told by a female comic. I'd love to see this performed.

  • J.Lois Diamond: Charlotte's Revival

    I attended an online reading of this play at The Depot. It is a very poetic piece, with a lush use of language. The character of Charlotte is drawn with so much delicacy, she is reminiscent of the women populating the plays of William Inge and Tennessee Williams. I would love to see a full production of this poignant play.
