  • Whatcha Doin? *A Zoom Play*
    16 Feb. 2021
    A lovely moment of connection. It's nice to think of taking new ways of connection from the pandemic moving forward. Whatcha Doin is a sweet story of two voices from the fringes of what is cool, or the norm connecting, helping, advocating, and listening. Fun! Goofy! Sweet! It hugs your heart for sure.

    Powerful short play carefully articulating the muddy waters of way too many rehearsal rooms. I think it's really important how Kate gave the offender a case for plausible deniability. Harassment is messy and very rarely black and white. Kate's words highlight that treacherous ground way too many of us have found ourselves upon.
  • FEAST.

    I love Megan's voice. I saw a show of hers at Cincy Fringe a few years ago and then saw the production of FEAST with Know Theatre during Covid. I love her knotty and poetic text. It's visceral and active and challenging and... well... quite tasty! What a challenge for an actor and tech team. I love stories of female rage, and this is that. This script is smart and demands your complicity. It's unapologeticly female and human.

    A stunning piece of theatre. A play of survival and heart and identity and love. We are all in this beautiful story. Reina pulls on our heartstrings and mind with this stunning, actor challenging, technical dream, story of beasts and things; you know, humans.
  • The Man-Beast

    I love this play. I saw it at Know Theatre of Cincinnati last year and gasped... audibly... multiple times. The world keeps you spinning and never lets you get too comfy in the witch's lair. A wonderful homage to legend, great roles for older actors, and fabulous poetic dialogue. Go on the hunt. It's worth it.

    A delightful play. It's funny, delightful, and never let's you off the hook as it transports you through genres and stories. Memorable characters, and delightful dialogue. Plus, I love that the lady gets all the dirty jokes. she owns her sexuality and keeps the men in her life reeling. Witty dialogue and a fun time.

    This play is life changing, for the actors and the audience. A true theatrical experience. Heartwarming, hilarious, gut-wrenching, all of it.
  • ALLIANCE
    18 Sep. 2020
    Simple, fun, lovely. It's heartfelt while still embracing the transnational nature of young friendship- I mean alliances! Would be a fun scene study for high school and college age students about objective, backstory, and intention. I like these people, and I want to be their teacher... also in their alliance.
