  • The Divine Alchemists by Lucy Fields
    23 May. 2023
    “ This play truly is a work of art. It offers such a spirited, fun, and creative outlet to explore our relationship to gender, ourselves, the world around us, and what it means to truly find acceptance. We get to join a found family as they celebrate Aerith coming into her own and the power of social alchemy. Truly, this is a magical peace that explores all these themes and more and should be required reading for any ally and also offers an incredible opportunity for those performers in the LQBTQIA+ community. ”
  • A Beginner's Guide to Self-Loathing & Why We Say Goodbye by Wolfgang Jones
    13 Feb. 2023
    “ This show is a ride you are not prepared for. Jones doesn't pull any punches in this masterpiece and creates an environment where the audience is warned, yet, surprised. Depressed, yet outraged. Disgusted, yet intrigued. You'll find yourself on the edge of your seat as the world of Everett is laid bare in front of you. How you feel about him is up to you, but one thing is for certain, you can't look away. Or at least, I know I couldn't. Great work that needs to be staged! ”
  • Abortion Road Trip by Rachel Lynett
    11 Feb. 2023
    “ I had the pleasure of being Quinn/Taylor in a production of this powerful piece. The characters are raw, real, and all uniquely related to the subject matter. This show is full of amazing roles for women, LGTBQ+ characters, and POC. It highlights the current issues passionately, while still remaining focused on the characters and relationships they have between each other and with themselves. Great script! ”
  • Funny, Like An Abortion by Rachel Bublitz
    9 Aug. 2022
    “ I have NEVER seen a play about such an important and controversial topic such as Abortion that just does it RIGHT. It is poignant yet not preachy, it is raw and real, it is flipping hilarious in a way that makes me so comfortably uncomfortable, and it is RESPONSIBLE. The clever use of the selective destruction of the fourth wall allows us to ease the audience into this journey while not worrying about perpetuating misinformation related to dangerous medical alternatives. I cannot wait to read this show again. SO GOOD! ”
  • Cost of Living by Martyna Majok
    19 Apr. 2022
    “ This piece blew my mind in all of the best ways. It was full of every ounce of heart you can muster and a story that truly felt like a window into the daily lives of everyday people. Rather than focusing on disabilities, it focused on the people, and their struggles with staying afloat in a world where anyone individual moment can hurdle you into personal and financial ruin. The story brought tears to my eye and launched so many conversations within my household. An INCREDIBLE show! ”
  • Love Bird by K.T. Peterson
    11 Feb. 2022
    “ This show is a wild ride with nothing but possibilities for those that produce it. A sweet and yet-tragically accurate depiction of two trapped in living as less authentic versions of themselves. This piece is wild, crazy, bright, funny...yet...so heartbreaking. A wild ride. ”
  • Susan B. by Daphne White
    7 Nov. 2021
    “ Daphne White does an incredible job showing the struggle (that is still ongoing) in the woman's suffrage movement while not pulling any punches on evaluating the flaws in Susan B Anthony as well. This piece is poignant, powerful, and educational. I was blessed to be in a reading of this show and I would love to see it fully staged! ”
  • Above the Fold by Julie Zaffarano
    27 Jun. 2021
    “ I was blessed to have been involved in a virtual reading of this show and it is incredibly powerful. The characters are beautifully and believably flawed and the chemistry between each of the characters is unique and allows for some wonderfully crafted dialogue. This play is witty, fast-paced, and while it takes place in the 1930s, the message is incredibly poignant for our media policies today. This is a phenomenal piece for the stage and absolutely should be produced! ”
  • the calm before by Deborah Yarchun
    2 May. 2021
    “ This piece is great for anyone who is looking for a dynamic story about a father and daughter who have been pushed apart by different views, loss, and time. "the calm before" is a poignant piece that evaluates how moments from our past come bursting forward to the present and evaluates how traumas can merge and how they can be let go. ”
  • Sensitive Guys by MJ Kaufman
    2 May. 2021
    “ A clever and eye-opening view on toxic masculinity and how talk can be cheap, but actions are what is needed to change the future. This is a fast-based comedy with a lot of heart that poses the questions we need to hear and shows us that sometimes the best actions are simply letting those affected have the chance to have the floor. A great piece. ”
