  • Memories of Overdevelopment
    11 Mar. 2022
    Hugely theatrical, using the strengths of the stage to pull you into the story, while deftly moving from character to character. I particularly like its message, bringing in the stories of the characters, all with wildly differing viewpoints, to show that there are no easy answers. A fantastic piece.
  • Good Samaritan
    11 Mar. 2022
    A play that takes a startling turn halfway through, making you go back to revisit the characters' words and motivations. This will have people talking after the performance.
  • The Final Word
    10 Mar. 2022
    "It’s not about what’s right and wrong; it’s about who gets to decide what’s right and wrong." This powerful and chilling line is at the heart of the play, and represents the dynamics at work.

    I'm particularly taken with the presentation, deftly moving through time and with the help of Virgil, presenting an exciting theatrical experience. I would love to see this on stage.
  • Wish You Were Here.
    9 Mar. 2022
    The subtext in this play has a depth that I rarely see. I really appreciated the delicate touch the playwright brings to this piece. I was particularly taken with how each character expressed the pain and uncertainty, leading to a grand conflict.
  • Pandemic Therapy; a ten-minute play (two versions in one document)
    9 Mar. 2022
    A sweet, charming play with an edge. The pandemic has impacted everyone differently, and that's on full display here. The ending suggests that connections can still be made, and that there is hope. Plus, it's wildly funny!
  • Man Cave; the North End of Euripides Street
    15 Feb. 2022
    A play that checks in with ancient Greek culture and history, while updating for our modern world. The two characters really inhabit their real-life namesakes, entertaining us with their banter. I particularly like the use of Socrates' philosophy and Euripides' plays.
  • Does it Bring You Joy? (A Monologue)
    15 Feb. 2022
    I particularly like how authentic the voice in this monologue sounds to the ear, with every word revealing what is actually going on underneath. A masterful piece.
  • Invisible Woman
    15 Feb. 2022
    A sharp, dramatic exploration into a woman in two situations, vastly different, yet providing a complete portrait of this dilemma. A great short piece!
  • Coming Out
    9 Feb. 2022
    A great comedy that really plays up the absurdities and humor that often come with the miracle of birth. I particularly like how the playwright imagines the theatrical setting using one actor onstage and voices throughout. The dialog is particularly sharp, and I like how the play resolves in the end.
  • THE WARSHIP WATERLOO
    8 Feb. 2022
    Short as this play is, there's a lot to like. The scene is set quickly, and the comedy packs a punch.
