  • The Delay by Emma Gometz
    1 Jun. 2021
    “ The Delay packs a lot into its short time-frame. Suicide is always hard to read about, but Gometz does it from the point of the trains themselves and we start to better understand the truth impact of what's happened as the M and E trains are forced to pause in their day to day rush to really grasp was has happened on the tracks ahead. Seize every day to just pause and reflect. This gem has made me do just that. ”
  • Room 219: But What About . . . by Justin Guidroz
    31 May. 2021
    “ A play about sex and love and how the two can completely be separate from the other and in Alan's case all the better. Guidroz's play caught me by surprise and that's always a great feeling when reading or seeing a new play. This little ten minutes is worth more than any full length in what it presents and the outcome that is reached. ”
  • 3 Characters Figure It Out by Matthew McLachlan
    18 May. 2021
    “ Great absurdist piece of theater and funny as hell. McLachlan pulls together so much in this play about reality vs. fantasy, making your own way or staying the path, and questioning everything or accepting of everything that life throws at you. And all of this around a landmine which was just brilliant. ”
  • The Smoking Room by Brian James Polak
    16 May. 2021
    “ So many emotions are touched on by the play. There were some funny laugh-out-lines in this beautifully written ode to one man's attempt to move past his abusive past and also try to ask that age-old question, why his father didn't love him, and again, this world of Toxic men needs to come to end and I feel that the character Ryan is like Detroit and able to change and move past the abuse and not carry it forward in the cycle. ”
  • The Vampire's Venti by Harper Caroline Lee
    16 May. 2021
    “ Lee paints a perfect picture of toxic men and the women who sadly still fall for them, but Frannie is not just some sad woman who hasn't learned anything while falling for her version of toxic. Smart and funny go together ver well in this play. ”
  • YOU BETTER WATCH OUT! by Selma Hazouri
    16 May. 2021
    “ Fantasy vs Reality. We experience these bouts of realization quite often in our world and Hazori gives us a little gem of one with Santa Claus is Coming. What I like best of this is the hope that is present with Jessica and like a child, she stiill holds on to that at the end even when her fantasy has crashed around her and she strikes out still waiting to fulfill her dreams and get more than a lump of coal in her stocking. ”
  • What About the Children? by Sharai Bohannon
    16 May. 2021
    “ There's not bigger "Ah-Ha" moment than in a relationship where you can see yourself changing and the other person still there stuck in their ideology. Our country is so divided today and it still amazes me when I have conversations with people who still spew the same venom even after the US was thrown under the bus by 45. Bohannon's play is a powerful come to Jesus moment that we should all with ourselves. ”
  • SOMETIMES THE SUN SETS TWICE by Alina Rios
    15 May. 2021
    “ These men who think they have the upper hand in a relationship just because they are men. Who are just angry men and nothing but children and who shouldn't even be allowed to have children. This is gut-wrenching monologue which defines the cycle of abuse so clearly that you want to hold your hand out to pull these people up out of their abusive relationship and help them find a light they so deserve. ”
  • Grindr Mom - 10 Minutes by Ronnie Larsen
    15 May. 2021
    “ I used to love the number that was thrown about how many gay people there were. They used to say there's about 1 out of 10 who are gay. But I always felt like there's a lot more of them around then we will ever know because religion has messed so many of us up and then there's society's rules we play in marriage and relationships and the expectations that one person can fit every need for another--so not true. Larson's play is about keeping secrets and how lonely and damaging they can be for the players. ”
  • A Walkable Feast by Lucy Wang
    15 May. 2021
    “ This play is rich in rewards for the reader and audience who would see it. Wang's walking play gives us a bounty of delights that are very digestible once finished and you hope their walk will go on and on and on. ”
