    Lieberman takes something that could easily dissolve into two women fighting over a man (as it often does in the media) and turns that inside out pairing these two independent women together. We need more depictions of spunky, strong, independent women from all periods and having these ladies in a 1930's period play is a special treat.
  • The Beauty Inside

    This is such a necessary play. We need more dialogue around honor killings, rape, toxic masculinity, and why women are treated as lesser beings just because they're women. I love this play and would love to see it produced!
  • The Betterment Society
    10 May. 2018
    I was lucky enough to read this a few months ago. It's a very gritty, and sometimes a bit absurd-ish, dark comedy that I highly recommend. I'd like to see three strong actresses sink their teeth into the material as they navigate these unique given circumstances.
  • Don't Trust Tess!

    This play is extremely hard to predict. It starts out as a seemingly innocent take on a woman with dementia and then shifts into a horror play that I'd like to see a design team tackle. I'm still having thoughts and I read this play quite a while ago.
  • We Will Not Describe the Conversation

    This is a very powerful play that haunts the reader. I also love that two women drive the action of this piece as Carabatsos leads us somewhere near a resolution. I would love to see this produced!
  • Blooming In Dry Season

    I LOVE this play!! The mother-daughter connection (not to mention the daughter's character arc that is usually written for men) is beautifully done!! The family dynamics and father trying to crush their child's dream also
    make it worth the read. Someone needs to produce this play immediately.
  • Dungeons & Dragons -- A Tragedy

    This belongs in a festival for young adults. The need to be two different people as an adolescent and the parents not understanding (or allowing) their kids to be their authentic selves is heartbreaking. This needs to be seen!!
  • The Play about the Play

    This is fun in the way 80's comedies staring Gene WIlder are fun. We need more of these kinds of short plays geared at making everyone laugh. We need them more than ever right about now.
  • FUCK BUDDY: THE MONOLOGUE

    This is actually very charming in a crude way. I'd love to see this one done by the right person. I think it would go over well.

    I really liked this monologue and how it inspires just enough imagination. I would love to see this used in an acting class to see what choices actors make.
