  • Arianna Rose: Cookie Cutter Christmas by Lindsay Partain
    “

    Reading this play gutted me. Lindsay Partain expertly dramatizes grief and holding on, the ghosts that haunt us and the ties that keep us from moving forward. So affecting and perfect a play. I have personal experience with a family member dying suddenly and unexpectedly, and Partain brilliantly and effectively captures all the emotions around that loss. A powerful ten minutes that will haunt you too, for much longer.

  • Arianna Rose: A Kiss is Just a Kiss by Claudia Haas

    How many of us wish we could get a 'do-over' of something in our youth? Eva goes for it, and in the process makes some discoveries about where the past belongs. A lovely play about two enormously likeable people whose timing is never right. Read it, produce it!

  • Arianna Rose: UNEVEN SIDES OF A TRIANGLE (a full-length play) by Marj O'Neill-Butler
    “

    A truly beautiful play about what makes us human and humane. O'Neill-Butler writes with skill and compassion, taking us on the journey of this most unlikely trio of roommates. Spare, heartbreaking, and full of truth.

  • Arianna Rose: A ROOM WITH A BIT OF MAGIC (a monologue) by Marj O'Neill-Butler
    “

    I was lucky enough to see this monologue performed as part of Theatre Lab's OOMF 2 Festival (and you can watch it online too!) A lovely piece about the magic of costume and stepping into a role you were born to play. An homage to costume designers and the lucky actors who get to wear a bit of magic.

    Donna Warfield works her usual magic with this moving tale about love lost and found. The characters will stay with you long after the play has ended. Read it, produce it!

  • Arianna Rose: Size Ten by Glen Dickson
    “

    A lovely monologue about being brave, and accepting yourself for any and all perceived flaws. A gem for an actor to play. I can see the fountain in my mind. One small step for Suzy, one giant leap for big-footed women everywhere!

    All bow down to Christine Foster, the master of the twist! I loved Turning Tables. It's such a joy to read a play and think you know where it's going and then - BAM! So smart and funny. Read it, produce it!
