  • Samantha Marchant: TELL ME I'M GORGEOUS AT THE END OF THE WORLD, The Last Gay Play by Aaron Coleman
    “

    Funny, subversive and wonderfully absurd! I love the use of lists, rhymes and disruptions and how this script asks the question of who gets to decide who is beautiful.

  • Samantha Marchant: Antigone, presented by the girls of St. Catherine's by Madhuri Shekar
    “

    Brilliant work! Each of the students is well crafted and this is a great script for a female ensemble. I was captivated by each girls' response to the situation, especially Susan's and how it relates to Creon. The tension of the last scene is explosive. Hope to catch this one live!

  • Samantha Marchant: Six Dead Bodies Duct-Taped to a Merry-Go-Round by Dawson Moore
    “

    What a title! A wild ride for the characters, the bodies and the audience that makes for a fun time.

  • Samantha Marchant: Clyt; or, The Bathtub Play by Elisabeth Giffin Speckman
    “

    A truly fabulous script! It is clear Speckman knows her Clytemnestra inside and out. This is a character that has my full attention. Every element in the script is woven with such care. Love the bathtub and all the visuals. A fresh take on an old tale, highly recommend!

  • Samantha Marchant: Apologies to Lorraine Hansberry (You Too August Wilson) by Rachel Lynett
    “

    I absolutely love all the different ways Lynett rolls with the meta. The different kinds of "exposition" monologues and when Izaak comes out near the end and then what follows... wow! Highly recommend.

  • Samantha Marchant: The Grand Illusion Show by Emily Dendinger
    “

    Enjoyable, concise and full of magic! Would love to see multiple productions to see how they each run with the ideas Dendinger generously offers.

  • Samantha Marchant: MUD SEASON by Felice Locker

    As a reader, I was happily swept up in the theatricality of this script. I think it will be stunning to see this script realized on stage.

  • Samantha Marchant: The Parking Lot by Adam Szymkowicz

    I'm in awe of the ease of this play. The balance is just right. I would love to see this live. It's perfect for the current times and beyond. I was rooting for this couple and ending with song and post-its was great. The eulogy scene will stick in my head for a long time. Wonderful.

    Lovely. Lang does a great job of depicting these two kids' hearts. The amount of magic sprinkled on top is perfect.

    “

    A touching monologue of loss and time. It uses repetition to create a eloquent flow.
