  • RAMONA, A ZOMBIE NAZI ARMY KILLER WHO HAPPENS TO BE A PRE-TEEN GIRRRL: AN ARCADE MONOLOGUE by Asher Wyndham
    17 Feb. 2021
    “ I got chills reading about this awesome geek girl who fights Nazis and zombies even as she faces her own real-life big bad. A great monologue for girls. ”
  • Paper and Ink by Maggie Lee
    17 Feb. 2021
    “ Wonderfully creepy! Lee unfolds the tremulous relationship between the acts of courage we commit for ourselves and those that endanger others. A horrifying and fantastical journey. ”
  • NO LITTLE WOMEN by Emma Goldman-Sherman
    17 Feb. 2021
    “ A lovely little reminder that we don't need to be in love with a piece of literature in order to learn from it and that we can, in fact, disagree and still respect someone else's opinion. Especially about books! ”
  • Direct Quoth by Emily Hageman
    17 Feb. 2021
    “ What a fun romp for any lover of Edgar Allan Poe! A delightful twist on the classic tale of an enigmatic raven and our favorite spooky author. ”
  • Batman Vs. The Joker at the Laundromat by Emily Hageman
    17 Feb. 2021
    “ Wonderful, ridiculous, hilarious, & most importantly - FUN. Prepare for a highly enjoyable, possibly-but-probably-not-illegal good time! ”
  • Fallen to the Communists by Arthur M Jolly
    17 Feb. 2021
    “ I love this heartfelt, endearing interaction between father and daughter. More than once this play made me smile, always with an edge of relatable sadness for future conversations lost. Really, a lovely piece. ”
  • No, Go Ahead: A One-Minute Zoom Play by Adam Richter
    17 Feb. 2021
    “ Quick, hilarious, & totally relatable, NO, GO AHEAD would be a fantastic piece to include in an evening of Zoom plays. Honestly, I hope there's a sequel! ”
  • 4 Horses of the Apocalypse by Matthew Weaver
    16 Feb. 2021
    “ A play by Matthew Weaver always makes me smile and this one is no exception. From the opening line (cough) to the bitter(sweet) end, spending time with the four horses of the apocalypse has never been so delightful. ”
  • GROUP S.O.S. (female version) by bonnie culver
    11 Feb. 2021
    “ I had the privilege of being involved in a staged reading of the female version of GROUP S.O.S. and it is a powerful script that wrestles with challenging questions. In our eagerness to help people move on from abuse, do we push so hard that we destroy their chances of recovery? GROUP S.O.S. is a relevant and timely drama because it addresses not only the aftermath of sexual abuse, but the way our handling of abuse survivors can have a permanent impact. ”
  • Heroes of the Fourth Turning by Will Arbery
    6 Feb. 2021
    “ This play will stay with me for a long, long time. Arbery lifts the veil and invites us in among people with such strong, heartfelt beliefs, who possess the desire for creation and preservation of what is good, but who simultaneously contribute to destruction. There are lyrical, symbolic moments throughout the piece that hearken to what is "missing" - grace, perhaps, or forgiveness. The play neither condemns nor excuses. Instead, Arbery fills his work with real, complicated people. People who are trying to be "good" while all the while being tragically flawed - just as we all are. ”
