- The Orchid by5 Mar. 2019“ An awkward and seemingly insurmountable visit with a friend who has attempted suicide is beautifully portrayed in this moving 10 minute piece. ”
- Two Tongues by17 Feb. 2019“ Post war South is well represented in these two women, one black, one white, telling what they see as the future. One is full of denial, the other is full of determination. Done in verse, it lends an almost Shakespearean lilt to the speakers. This is a great juxtaposition play. ”
- The Talk by17 Feb. 2019“ Can family secrets keep us from being our authentic selves? In this wonderfully rich family drama, the Fuqua family learns a valuable lesson in the importance of sharing family history, and standing up for the lessons those secrets teach. Powerful and engaging, a great multigenerational picture of what it is to move forward from lessons of the past. ”
- Domestic Service by17 Feb. 2019“ A compelling and eye opening little play that packs a big whollop. An Oscar nominated actress who was pidgeon-holed into unrealistic stereotypes due to the racial biases of her time. Louise Beavers made a difficult and worthwhile decision, and her story should be told. ”
- DOLPHIN KID: A MONOLOGUE (POOLSIDE) by11 Feb. 2019“ Here's a kid who's saying what he feels. He's indignant, and mortified, and just plain angry and he's got a reason. A very good reason. What a terrific monologue for a young person to be able to embrace. The voice rings with truth. Meaty, and emotional without being weak. ”
- Opposing Ophelia by11 Feb. 2019“ What a lovely and timely play about two generations of black women, mother and daughter, who each in their own way, in their time in history, take a stand of their worth in society. It reminds us that every generation faces struggles. That ours is not the only one that overcomes obstacles, and by sharing, understand the journey each generation has taken. A real gem. ”
- BRILLIANT WORKS OF ART by11 Feb. 2019“ It's so refreshing for a play to speak truth in such a daring fashion. The characters are unapologetic in their sexuality, and forces the audience to think about what it means to be in a relationship. This play will generate conversations that will last long after the play is over. ”
- VALERIE: A COSPLAY MONOLOGUE by3 Feb. 2019“ Valerie is a superhero. She's calling out anyone who thinks of being anything but respectful of her as a person. What a no holes barred piece of female empowerment. An excellent, affirming monologue for a young woman. ”
- Mountain Dew by3 Feb. 2019“ This wonderful historical piece brings life to a unique event. A great play for high school audiences, it personalizes what might otherwise be a boring essay assignment, making it real to the writer and audience alike. If you are trying to bridge arts and history, this one's for you! ”
