- he died on a Sunday afternoon, in a motel, on the way to by23 Dec. 2019“ A play that on the surface seems to be about the quiet moments, but underneath is a roaring, turbulent narrative on life's events and the way we deal, or not deal, with them. Imaginative and suspenseful. ”
- Have Patients by26 Nov. 2019“ Short, but sweet, this play really puts us in the shoes of a newly hired receptionist dealing with an unconventional patient. Touches on the trials of customer service, and makes you emphasize with a character who watches the world blithely accept the utter absurdity that swirls around her. ”
- EIGHT NIGHTS by26 Nov. 2019“ A journey through the life of a Holocaust survivor, with the struggles and triumphs on full display. The playwright crafts a story that is deeply touching, yet not sentimental. Its power lies in the honest truth and the window it provides into one of humanity's darkest chapters, but still shining a light on the hope and future. This is a play that should go far. ”
- (SHORT DUMBSHOW:) The Train by3 Nov. 2019“ A delightful short play not reliant on dialogue but with simple visual performances by two actors. A challenging yet satisfying piece for a director for sure. All with a beautiful narrative. ”
- ELEVATOR GIRL by29 Oct. 2019“ Hoke mixes the allure of superhero mythology with the very real subject of rape culture. Metaphoric and evocative, this play delves into a world where villains are often where you least expect, and heroes are not always a single person. ”
- Mothboi by24 Oct. 2019“ A fun little play revolving around a mysterious piece of American folklore. Perfect for a spooky 10 minute fest, or really any festival that wants a scary play. Set and costume designers will also love it! ”
- What About Bismarck by21 Oct. 2019“ Nice little play about the formation of an unlikely friendship. Compelling, thoughtful, and coming together with an unexpected ending. ”
- TEXT, a Soundscape Play by21 Oct. 2019“ A play riffing on the banality of a life fixated on a small screen. Even apocalyptic events outside cannot draw this character away from his little addictive box. Smart, funny, and startlingly simple yet complex in its symbolism. ”
