- DARK, LEAFY GREENS — A Play for Videoconference by23 Nov. 2020“ These characters bring me back to middle school and, at the same time, are highly relatable to me as an adult. I feel the fatigue, the humor, the wanting to learn, the wanting to get out and the pain and joy brought on by other people. This script is hugely successful in it's chosen medium of Zoom. ”
- Ripped by28 May. 2020“ Bublitz crafts an impeccable, crucial structure to tell this story. The use of the dress is outstanding - it tells us about time and so much about character. A truly thought-provoking piece on consent and rape culture, people should see it. ”

- Antigone's Sister by27 Apr. 2020“ The use of the chorus in this script is extremely effective. The repetition and reversals in language add a sense of heighten theatricality. The piece moves beautifully like a score. It is a world created to dwell in and ponder questions of gender, roles and names. ”
