  • Ross Tedford Kendall: Bodkin by Robin Russin
    “

    A terrific riff on both Shakespeare's Hamlet and arrogant Hollywood culture. The playwright has created two fully developed characters and put them together, with the inevitable joyous conflict that results.

  • Ross Tedford Kendall: THE TEXAS HOMECOMING REVOLUTION of 1995 by Jennifer Faletto
    “

    A poison-penned love letter to the 90s, and a great dark comedy about the high school cliques that we both hated and desperately sought to join. The playwright weaves through direct address, dialogue with a sharp edge, and quiet scenes that speak volumes. One of the most creative plays I've seen in a long time.

  • Ross Tedford Kendall: Bird Girl and the Hammer by Bethany Dickens Assaf
    “

    What's great about this play is that it takes the time to explore relationship ups and downs, not settling for an easy answer between the characters. Showing that despite our abilities, we all have human failings. A fine little play.

  • Ross Tedford Kendall: AND MAYBE A RIVER WILL COME by Bridget Grace Sheaff
    “

    A funny and touching little play about what draws us into hoping for a better future. A great visual and theatrical style with a strong story makes this a great piece for any festival.

  • Ross Tedford Kendall: ANTIGONE by Marie Mayingi Dimareli
    “

    A powerful reworking of Antigone for our present situation. The parallels are stark and striking, while the play is grounded in the concerns of the modern characters. A great little piece to remind us of what is happening now.

  • Ross Tedford Kendall: Untethered by Judy Klass
    “

    A touching little play about how relationships often dig deep hooks in all of us, and the lengths our friends will go to help us move on. Playwright Klass has a firm hold of her characters, and gives us a great journey to healing and moving on.

  • Ross Tedford Kendall: Jornada del Muerto by Gwen Flager
    “

    A play that shows the dark and light of humanity. The two characters bond over a sudden trauma, and give us all hope. A great piece to watch.

  • Ross Tedford Kendall: Prelude to a Hostile Takeover by Alexander Perez
    “

    Some of the best comedies are often the darkest. Politics in the shape of a power struggle over leadership of a girl scout troop makes a great statement, along with providing a hilarious ride. A fine piece for a one-act festival.

  • Ross Tedford Kendall: The Year the Padres Won the Pennant by J. (Joe) Weintraub
    “

    A fine little piece that uses baseball as the means to show a personal story between a couple that can no longer stay together. Both characters are nicely developed and show real investment in what they want and need.

    “

    A very moving piece that builds up your expectations and twists them around in the end. Great fun to be had in such a short piece.
