  • Christmastown - A Hanukkah Play

    A delightful read that masterfully balances camp and heart. A fantastic play for all seasons, not just the winter holidays. Plus that ending will have you on the edge of your seat!
  • Skin and Bone

    I absolutely LOVED this play. So dark and twisted but also extremely campy and fun. There is a great sense of suspense that builds throughout.
  • JOHN DESERVES TO DIE
    1 Aug. 2023
    An absolutely FANTASTIC play about female rage and empowerment. I was fortunate enough to get to see this play in performance and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Most importantly, this play has saved me from ever having to read a David Mamet play.
  • High School Dybbuk

    A dark and exciting take on how grief can affect us and challenge our relationships to others. As a non-Jew, it was also a really great introduction to a piece of Jewish canon that I might not have discovered otherwise.
  • Welcome to Matteson!

    This play takes the family dinner trope and flips it on its head in such a dementedly fun way! Its take on gentrification is something I want to see more of in theater.
