    Twists, turns, and violence abound in this unflinching character study of A and B. A tour de force for two actors, THE COIN (as in "two sides"!!) keeps flipping, creating suspense, conflict, and a very surprising resolution. An expertedly crafted play by Dan Taube, who never turns away from uncomfortable topics or flawed characters, much to our benefit. Read and produce!

    What a gorgeous piece about friendship and how our first responsibility is to ourselves. Both Dani and Ambra are such relatable characters, their resonance rings long after the last page. Authentic, touching, and so very relatable. Author Karen Fix Curry has such a wonderful take on women of a certain age, and celebrates them on stage.

    A gorgeous play about second chances, misconceptions, trauma, and healing. Starting with the genius title that holds several meanings in the play, author Samara Siskind expertly crafts enormously compelling characters that we root for all the way even as they act against their own best interests. I truly loved this play! It deserves so many productions.

    I have had the greatest pleasure of watching this beautiful play workshopped in my writers group, and then participating in a reading of it. Playwright Robert Weibezahl has crafted a literate, empathetic look at closeted movie stars when studios ruled with an iron hand and gossip mavens could make or break careers with with a pointed comment. I love every minute of this gorgeous play and the world it evokes, while still being incredibly character-based. Read it, produce it so I can see it!

    A beautiful, poignant memory piece about the tapestry we weave in our lives with the friends we make along the way. Playwright George Sapio has created a rich world of remembrances between Milo and Glen and one very epic night. You'll feel like you know all these people by the end of the play, and want to clink glasses with them at the end in one last salut. "Those were the days, my friend".

    An absolutely gorgeous short play about grief, healing, and the power of community.

    You had me at "Satan's Suburbs". What a delicious delight of a play! You'll want to spend a fun afternoon dishing with Sheila, Barbara, and Cathy, three baby boomers with a delectable secret. A wonderful ensemble piece for mature women, with lots of action and misdirects. Now I want cake! - but maybe not that one! Kudos to playwright Robert Weibezahl for another well-crafted and theatrical outing!
