    A beautiful play with a deep, complex, and moving mother-daughter relationship. I zipped through this play, compelled by each page and nuance of their struggle, as they try to come to terms with each other. The joy is watching them learn more about who they are as individuals and who they are together The dialogue is pitch perfect, and the idea of watching actors make bread onstage is tantalizing -- not to mention a great metaphor for their journey. A wonderful play that I'd love to see live.

    I absolutely love this play. So much joy, humor, and passion that speaks to the frustrations of the creative life in a brilliant format – judging the art of 3rd graders!! Brilliant. I would both love to direct and see this play. Great, well-drawn roles for actors to run wild with in a play with lots of escalating fun and humor. The ending, which I didn’t see coming, is the perfect cure to what ails artists of any discipline. Heartwarming perfection.

    This is a really compelling and theatrically exciting piece. I loved watching this play unfold without dialogue, and was thrilled to watch how the playwright matched the images with the actions. Such a brilliant depiction of the strong emotions we all carry inside, and a great portrait of a character. Poetic in its intensity. Really loved this!

    This is such a sweet and hilarious take on wedding day anxieties! I love the way Steve structures this piece and am amazed at how much I learn about BOTH characters in such a short amount of time. The thrill of this ride is in both not knowing the ending but daring to hope, as well as following the great details and specifics that fuel both the humor and characterization. I can only imagine seeing this live – immense fun for the actors but probably quite challenging as they have to hold for laughs. Great humor. Beautiful heart. Perfect piece.

    This is a fun back and forth that builds perfectly to its inevitable conclusion. Sharp, crisp, funny dialogue that will be a great ride for the actors and audience alike. Nice!

  • Greg Vovos: Ashes To Ashes by Emily McClain
    “

    A beautiful play that draws you in from the top moment. Emily’s characters are so well developed and likable that you really want to know why they are the way they are. One of the great charms of this piece is watching as she peels away the layers to reveal their depth and pain. An emotionally compelling piece that leaves you feeling how imperfect we all are but how much we need each other -- and how beautiful the complexities can be. A great two-hander that actors will LOVE to play and audiences will love to watch.

    A fun feel-good piece at a time when we need more of these than ever! As always, Vivian's characters are authentic and a joy to spend time with, with dialogue that never fails to charm. The perfect gift for the holiday season!

    John is such a funny and fast-paced writer who finds great ways to use all kinds of storytelling in his work. I loved reading this comedy thriller, but would so much rather see it live. Tons of fun for actors, directors, and audiences alike!

    A great play with a great heart. I love the way Steve subverts expectations here in a meaningful and surprising manner.

  • Greg Vovos: The Spirit of a Martian (a five-minute play) by Jackson Rodriguez Castello

    This fun and exciting short sci-fi play would be perfect for any school looking for a piece for school-aged actors. Moving with great momentum and compelling right up to its surprising end, this was a great, fast read. But I’d much rather see it live. Bravo, Jackson, for writing such an excellent and intriguing piece for young actors that would be enjoyed by audiences of all ages.
