  • Bigfoot Break Room by Brian Pastor
    23 Jan. 2020
    “ This play is a playful delight. Pastor gets a lot of character and personalities out of the Bigfoots in a short time. I would have never thought that a character from cryptozoology could be so relatable. This play is definitely worth the read and I would look for an opportunity to produce it as part of a festival. ”
  • The Adventures of Skater Girl by Trina Kakacek
    13 May. 2018
    “ This is one of the most creative concepts for a play I have ever read. The heroine is completely unique. I was delighted to have read this script. ”
  • Attachment Disorder by Trina Kakacek
    13 May. 2018
    “ A wonderfully accurate portrayal of a teenager dealing with tough decisions. Ms. Kakceck does a great job at creating challenging familial relationships. ”
  • Knowledge Worker by Greg Hudson
    13 May. 2018
    “ A delightful piece of physical theater that captures the essence of email's oppressive nature - especially in the workplace. The staging's simplicity gets at the heart of absurdism, paradox, and theatricality. ”
  • Riders of the Purple Sage by Zane Grey by Ivan Faute
    13 May. 2018
    “ Mr. Faute does an incredible job of creating a western that is practical to stage and while remaining thrilling at the same time. Upon first read, I genuinely couldn't turn the pages fast enough because I wanted to find out what happened next. ”
  • Edgar Allan Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher by Ivan Faute
    13 May. 2018
    “ This is an incredibly strong retelling of the story. Usher's sister (Madeline) is finally given a voice in this telling and she speaks loud and strong. ”
  • Ben Franklin & Baron von Steuben vs. the Paine County School Board by Danielle Dresden
    13 May. 2018
    “ An incredible timely and prescient drama about how the control of information/education influences future generations of the electorate. And while this piece focuses on the maco issues facing our country, it is very adeptly told on a personal level focusing on the story of two people struggling to do what is right. The dialogue is quite skilled and works on many levels. I highly recommend this piece. ”
  • At Water's Edge by Elaine Avila
    13 May. 2018
    “ This is a beautifully written play. The emotion behind Ms. Avila's dialogue is tremendous. She also does a great job at evoking her settings/location. This would be a real gift for a lighting or scenic designer. ”
  • Hindsight by Brian Pastor
    13 May. 2018
    “ This play makes the character as well as the audience really struggle through making the right decision. Mr. Pastor places the characters in a position of self-doubt and panic and makes them deal with the consequences. In short amount of time - we feel the full weight of the past and the decisions the characters make to cope with it. ”
