  • Amy Berryman: Faith

    Completely floored by this piece. A perspective on a story I’ve known since I was a young kid that I had not considered. Moving, real, challenging.

  • Amy Berryman: Awards Season

    A razor sharp play with two intelligent, flawed women at the helm, duking it out in the complicated terrain of the #metoo era. I deeply appreciate the thorny questions being asked in this play and it leaves the reader with a gut punch that feels far too familiar. I'd love to watch actors eat up these roles.

  • Amy Berryman: The Lonely (A Fictionally Non-Accurate Historical KiKi)

    This play is brilliant in its premise and in the execution of it. The characters feel so real, the tension so palpable, and the dialogue sharp, hilarious, and heartbreaking. Great opportunity for designers as well. I would love to see this play produced!

    I love this play with all my heart. Funny, awkward, haunting, exquisite. More theaters need to produce this play!

  • Amy Berryman: John Proctor is the Villain

    My heart is soaring and I'm listening to "Green Light" and I am so grateful someone wrote this play. It is smart, fast, wild, powerful, and FUNNY. I want there to be a professional production as soon as possible. We need it.

  • Amy Berryman: wyrd

    This play is so magical! Whether the character be mortal or immortal, this play has incredible roles for women. It's funny, heartbreaking, romantic, and brutal. I can't wait to see a production of it.

  • Amy Berryman: HOMERIDAE

    This is a phenomenal play. I saw a reading of it at the Great Plains Theatre Conference and can’t wait to see it produced. It is an important look at racial tensions in academia, at academia’s bias towards white classical literature. It is also hilarious and masterful at navigating tone. The structure of the play is beautiful - it makes you skeptical and then gut punches you. Gorgeous language, beginning and ending in incantations. Please produce this play.

  • Amy Berryman: Behind the Sheet

    Every theatre in America should do this play. Powerful, deep, haunting look at an ugly chapter in the history of American medicine and the role black enslaved women played in it.

    I saw a reading of this play at the Last Frontier Theatre Conference - beautiful, evocative language, and a deeply relatable protagonist. The imagery stays with me even a year later.

  • Amy Berryman: Hyannis

    I read this play when it became a finalist for the Premiere Play Festival and I am so glad I did. A very honest look at the opioid epidemic with gorgeous characters, each one deep and complex, not only in their own makeup but in their relationship to the other characters in the play. Simply told - and has a killer, aching ending.
