  • Breakfast for Quartet by Nicholas Thurkettle
    6 Jul. 2018
    “ I loved this play so much. Inspiring as much as it is revealing those pockets of every day life that we all wade through. Love the set up, the dialogue and the characters, each voice so true that it gave me that rush of jump starting my day by sharing some time with this wonderful quartet. ”
  • PARTNER OF — by Rachael Carnes
    5 Jul. 2018
    “ I stand in awe of this work. This brilliant re imaging of history and these characters who keep talking about wanting such a simple thing as a window in their room. The words and actions become heartbreak itself. None of us can ever apologize for the wrongdoings that were the make up of our history, but by seeing Carnes play on stage, we can hope it opens one heart, one soul, one mind that is able to keep growing and healing to make a better place at the table we call humanity. ”
  • Better (Short) by Vince Gatton
    5 Jul. 2018
    “ One of the funniest plays I've read in years! So truthful even to the point of bringing up a lot memories working on the night shift in my little small town in South Carolina while I was in college. It's raw and funny and just explodes right off the page with such depth of soul and heart. Such great roles for two people. It's one of those plays I could read it again and again and never tire of the situation, dialogue or action. Very well done and so inspiring to me as a writer. ”
  • VALERIE: A COSPLAY MONOLOGUE by Asher Wyndham
    5 Jul. 2018
    “ Wow! What a monologue. Valerie is such a great character and would make a dream part for any actor. Her heartbreak and rage are just so perfectly capture and it just made me so sad that the world isn't a safe place for everyone. I'm so impressed with Wyndham's writing and his work. I am a fanboy that's in his corner for good. I was so privileged to have seen his work read live in Kansas and wish I had had that opportunity with this outstanding play. Recommend times fifty! ”
  • The United Plays of America - Nevada - The Loneliest Road in America by Claudia Haas
    5 Jul. 2018
    “ I love this play! The humor and the sisters and their discussions of snakes, ghosts and aliens. The bond between them is so believable and the dialogue is so funny and the action flies by because of it. There's never one false word in this tightly woven gem!! Bravo! ”
  • Elephants by Jordan Elizabeth Henry
    4 Jul. 2018
    “ In this wonderful short play Jordan takes us on such a journey of the imaginative spirit being set free as Sue and her Aunt try to prepare for a birthday party and Sue only wants to talk about Elephants, both of them not dealing with a much more devastating "Elephant" in the room. I am always impressed with the staging of Jordan's plays as much as I am captivated by the wonderful dialogue that's so fresh and real and makes me sit back in awe of her as a writer and take notes of another perfect composition in motion. ”
  • SECRET'S OUT by Greg Burdick
    4 Jul. 2018
    “ I love this play! So funny and so the dialogue so spot on and real. Burdick takes the simple set-up and weaves such a tapestry of themes: men/women relationships, ageism, female sexuality, and commercialism. It had me laughing throughout but as with most well written comedies the true greatness is that through the laughing one can see those deeper pockets of humanity through a smile. ”
  • INSERT TOKEN by Greg Burdick
    4 Jul. 2018
    “ What an exciting and thrilling play and funny and so very timely. The back and forth between the Attendant and Sebastian is so well written and paced that it was causing my stress levels to rise while reading it. Such a great piece of theater and cautionary tale against reaching that next level in the gaming world. I can't wait to read other works by Burdick! ”
  • To The Grind by Adriano Cabral
    3 Jul. 2018
    “ To The Grind is such a funny and real-life look at one mans sexual journey as communicated during a voice lesson. Love that the names and descriptions of those lessons already sound so sensual and are coupled with details of 1’s different encounters which left me breathless after finishing this play which isn't a bad thing. Such a great role and compelling journey for a young actor! ”
  • Donna Orbits the Moon by Ian August
    3 Jul. 2018
    “ Breathtakingly poignant piece about forgiveness and coming to terms with loss and that anger of having lost something. August's ending is shocking in its revelation. I did not see it coming and I was glad that I didn't because it made his wonderful play all the more touching and all the more painful. There is so much here to be taken in and then read again for all the wonderful details that one didn't catch the first time through. ”
