- The Droll {Or, a Stage-Play about the END of Theatre} by3 Feb. 2022“ The Droll is an incredibly strong play that does so much more than speak to our present moment and present needs. Miroshnik poses thoughtful questions as to the nature of theatre, and the nature of apocalypses, grounded in the story of those who survived the end of their world. It's an engaging and thoughtful narrative with the heart that truly great plays require. ”
- Happy Days: Zoom (A parody of the absurd) by28 Jan. 2022“ A clever riff on Beckett that highlights the absurdities of pandemic life. ”
- Owning Shakespeare (Ten Minute Play) by4 Sep. 2021“ This short play is a charming exploration of the dark places that obsession can take us to, neatly juxtaposing the sacred with the secular. It's also a nice apéritif for any Shakespeare-focused theatre looking to include new plays in their programming. ”
- Perihelion by27 Aug. 2021“ A compelling story about trying to find meaning in a chaotic universe. ”
- Green Sound by2 Jul. 2021“ This is a great script that explores non-neurotypical ways of perceiving the world, all via a touching romance. I directed a production of "Green Sound" a few years ago, and it remains one of my favorite short plays. ”
- THE AGE OF ROMANCE by28 Jun. 2021“ This is a touching and engaging comedy for mature actors that explores the ways we continually grow throughout our lives. ”
- Black Cat by9 Jun. 2021“ It was nice to read a play about science that takes both the scientific method and the business of science seriously, and examines how they can be in conflict with each other, and with the passion for discovery that inspires a career in science. ”
- HOMERIDAE by12 Jun. 2020“ This is a strong and thought provoking piece, which dramatizes questions of ancient philosophy in a modern university. Espinoza lays naked the racist structures of the modern academy, and classical studies in particular, while simultaneously making a bold argument for the urgency of the classics (and academic methods) in the modern world. Every college and university in America should stage this play. ”
- Harpers Ferry 2019 by29 May. 2020“ Harpers Ferry 2019 has complex characters living complex lives, and a strong ending that is thoughtful and thought-provoking. ”
