I needed a laugh tonight, and Christopher Plumridge's COWS 'N' MOON fit the bill to a T! Clever wordplay, puns, and characterizations make this a delight to read. I could see it being performed in my mind's eye...it jumps off the page...or perhaps over the moon? A tour de force for actors and a delight for audiences!

This is such an original piece. A smart premise, some R-rated dialogue, and larger than life characters add up to a great theatrical outing. I loved the twist at the end and the skewering of both pop culture and the Republican party. Playwright Tori Rice shows she is a risk-taker and it pays off. This play definitely won't languish in obscurity. Let's rock and roll!

This was such a fun read! I love plays that surprise me, and playwright Philip Middleton Williams has done that repeatedly throughout Stop Laughing Without Me. I found myself rooting for first one character, then the other, with a terrific twist at the end. Having been both playwright and producer I can relate. Well crafted, and a delight. Would love to see this one live on stage!

What a brilliant play! I loved every minute of it. A treat for an actor to play the cat. Filled with deeper truths as well as moments of hilarity. As a long-time cat mama, playwright Maggie Gallant got it right. It’s wonderful to know it is based on a true story. A masterful piece of writing!

A wonderful read for a very contemporary problem. Playwright Dan Taube crafts a tense ten minutes with skill and theatricality. There's a terrific twist at the end. Would love to see this on a stage!

A one-minute gem with rich roles and a relatable premise. Playwright Dan Taube gives the actors and the audience so much to fill in, with so much empathy. I would love to see RECKONING performed.

What a fun ride! Kids, kids, tune in to your favorite tv show with some VERY interesting new hosts. Playwright Stephen Pryor has expertly crafted a fast-paced, funny satire, straddling both sides of the aisle. A no-holds-barred fractured fairy tale with a twist ending, WHEN HARRY HATED SALLY is a delight. Would love to see it performed.

I loved this play! The pacing, the characters, the twist ending, the snappy, rapid repartee. If Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn had this play it would have been a hit movie for them! Playwright Julie Zaffarano has concocted a frothy delight in Destiny is a Careless Waiter - or is that Server? And why am I hungry for dessert right now? Would love to see a production of this very funny play.

I read each page of Sonata for Four Hands with increasing admiration and awe. Playwright Bridget Erin expertly weaves piano practice, parent-child relations, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict into to a truly theatrical piece. While one character repeatedly warns us about the dangers of storytelling, we are shown the beauty of it. I would so love to see a production of this piece. So rich and complex- I know I’ll be thinking about this play for days.

What a gorgeous piece of writing. Playwright Andrew Rosendorf sensitively portrays a family coming to terms with their trans child and various other issues. You will fall in love with all these characters as they struggle with acceptance. Changing the character's name in the script as Everett assumes their true identity as Ariel was such a lovely touch. This is one of those plays I wish I had written! MERMAID should be produced in every theatre, everywhere.
