  • Portrait of a Soul by Elisa Manzini
    12 Mar. 2023
    “ This play really hooked me. I loved the interplay between the two that have shared history, and trying to piece together what is the truth and what might be false memory was particularly striking. But more than just a "He said/she said," the piece hits real emotional depths that leave no easy answers. ”
  • The King in Yellow by Christopher Soucy
    12 Mar. 2023
    “ I'm a big fan of Robert Chambers' story collection "The King in Yellow," and it's clear playwright Soucy is as well. References to the original stories abound, all the while suspense and terror creep into every line. The general vibe of late 19th century weird fiction comes across full force, while still making it relevant to modern audiences, especially when Soucy takes the mythos to new directions. A real horror play for theatres brave enough to stage it! ”
  • The Oktavist by Vince Gatton
    9 Jan. 2023
    “ A gem of a play that shows there are more things happening than you may realize. On the surface, a young man desperately wants to be part of something that he has no qualification or hope of achieving. That in itself would be enough for most, but playwright Vince Gatton then shows the deeper layers. A quiet but powerful piece. ”
  • You've Reached Justin by Christian St. Croix
    9 Jan. 2023
    “ A fantastic conceit, that escalates in a realistic matter (even with the fantastical elements.) This will have you believing everything that happens. Such vivid descriptions from Daniel, giving a full account, as well as his deteriorating state of mind. Such a great piece for a horror fest or anything that allows adventurous works. ”
  • Acts of Creation by Brianna Barrett
    12 Dec. 2022
    “ Very interesting approach and concept. Thought that the characters were unique and dynamic. Interested to see more of this type of work from this playwright. ”
  • Scrambled Eggs by Jessica Marie Fisher
    12 Dec. 2022
    “ I really liked this play. It talks of privilege, the detestable treatment of women, and controversial neurological procedures that do nothing but harm. I liked the interaction of the characters all driving towards a goal of The American Dream family, with none of them coming close to achieving this, and destroying their souls in the process. ”
  • The Ordeal of Water by Stephanie Alison Walker
    25 Oct. 2022
    “ An absolute gem of a play that puts its characters through a harrowing situation, and the audience along with them. You get the feeling of the ship at sea, the desperation, the camaraderie, and the wonder of their plight. I particularly like how at the core, it's about two women who dare to achieve above what society dictates, and how they bond together despite the odds. ”
  • Godspeed by Terence Anthony
    26 Jul. 2022
    “ A fun romp of a play that also touches on some deeper issues at times. The main character, Godspeed, is determined, capable, and yet flawed in ways to make you believe she exists. The colorful cast gives this play real bite. I feel we need more genre plays in theatre, and this is a good one. ”
  • The Wedding Recessional I Imagine My Parents Had in 1971 (2 minutes) by Marcia Eppich-Harris
    15 Jul. 2022
    “ Weddings are high on emotion, and this play often shows that different emotions are often experienced, even with two people in the middle of a lifelong commitment. A nice little piece. ”
  • Life of the Experiment by Sarah Cho
    12 Jul. 2022
    “ As someone who has had close family with cancer, this really resonates with me. Clinical trials are necessary, and yet have the looming corporate specter behind them. Playwright Cho has crafted a play that shows that taken to the extreme, and yet it somehow still feels plausible. Equal parts funny and chilling. ”
