  • PrEP Play, or, Blue Parachute by Yilong Liu
    17 Feb. 2020
    “ This was one of those plays I stumbled upon and couldn't put down. It's funny, poignant, original and necessary. I haven't read anything else by this playwright yet, but this piece made me want to read anything they write. LOVE it. ”
  • OkayBetterBest (Composed by Rhonda Kess) by Michael Weems
    28 Jan. 2019
    “ Oh, my, please do yourself the favor of reading this fun, energetic page-romp. Enjoy the best elements of musicals and rom-coms, with a hint of edge. READ IT. ”
  • A Girl's Guide To Coffee by Eric Coble
    20 Nov. 2018
    “ If you want a fun, witty read and some great roles for young women, check out this play. Coble knows how to bring heart to every corner of the human experience (even a cup of espresso). So great. ”
  • HYPE MAN: a break beat play by Idris Goodwin
    20 Nov. 2018
    “ This was such a fun read. It touches on important issues without being preachy and the musical energy just jumps off the page (why do more plays not incorporate rapping????). I want to see this come alive on stage badly. ”
  • Empires of Eternal Void by Kenley Smith
    21 Aug. 2018
    “ This is a dark piece, but you are deeply immersed in the world from the first line. A great examination of torture, war and the ways both are justified. ”
  • The Wolves by Sarah DeLappe
    10 Jul. 2018
    “ I laughed aloud at many parts of this play and also felt the pain of these tough-yet-fragile young ladies. Great work. ”
  • Akuma-shin by Kenley Smith
    10 Jul. 2018
    “ I just had the joy of reading this play. It is smart, timely, dark and fun all at once. ”
  • SOMETHING FOR THE FISH by Emily Krause
    10 Jul. 2018
    “ I loved the imagery in this piece. Also, Krause has a poet's ear for lyricism. ”
  • Disinhibition by Christopher Bryant
    10 Jul. 2018
    “ Christopher Bryant humanizes the online world in a way that is so badly needed in our digitized culture. He has great comedic timing, and he doesn't shy away from the darker parts of the human psyche. Give this a read. DO it. ”
  • Jilt by Jennie Webb
    10 Jul. 2018
    “ I had the pleasure of directing this piece for the GPTC. It is a unique, fast-paced piece of theater. It comments on so many timely issues without preaching. Definitely give it a read. ”
