    A hauntingly beautiful lyrical work that explores the conflict between our heads and hearts when doing what's right may actually be against the law. The exploration of mother/daughter relationships just sings. And the way it resonates with issues that are so prevalent today makes this a work that should be all over next season.

    Dear Theatres, You want to produce this play. It is smart and clever and full of emotion and very much of our time. Matt quickly hits the core of the questions we're all asking ourselves about our work, our loves and our world. It should be on your stage.

    I laughed sooooo hard at the reading of THIS IS CRAZY. Only Deb Hiett can write such delicious absurdity with such humanity. It is a deeply funny and deeply satisfying play, resonant with love and hope.

    Such a beautiful rendering about how our past affects our present -- with great parts for female actors to dig into. Produce this one!

    A strikingly original gorgeous piece that hits the heart of finding acceptance through love. Brianna deftly draws you in to a resolve that has so much heart. This play needs to be produced and seen.

    Biting. Chilling. A dark ride that resonates so much in the moment we're in right now.

  • Jennifer Maisel: Temporary Measures: a play about legacy by Jennie Webb
    “

    This play is just so quietly beautiful, with the signature Jennie Webb trademark of unbelievable theatricality and emotional depth. This needs to be produced.

    A gorgeous saga that takes us cross country and generations as Tira's characters face their greatest fears with wit and undying love.

  • Jennifer Maisel: RED BIKE by Caridad Svich
    “

    Caridad has the most gorgeous mastery of language, where it's totally accessible and at the same time magical and dreamy and evocative. RED BIKE is a gem that will tease your memory and make your heart beat fast. I really would love to see it and am enticed by the fact that it's so uniquely flexible that no two production will ever be close to the same. Seems like a director's dream to me.
