    I love contemporary plays with a twist. I love plays with all women characters. Mike Solomonson has written another winner. Funny, smart, with a strong message. And it's got cookies!! Read it, love it, produce it!
  • ADRIFT
    5 Jan. 2020
    I had the great pleasure of seeing a reading of Adrift at Theatre Lab’s New Plays Festival. Inventive, funny, fresh, with characters that are both recognizable yet unique. Would love to see a full production of this piece so get on that, theatre companies!
  • Being Wendy Wasserstein (formerly The Wendy Chronicles)
    28 Dec. 2019
    Karen Fix Curry is such a gifted writer, you feel like Wendy Wasserstein is in the room with you. Wendy's warmth, her humor, her unique outlook on life jump off each page, thanks to Ms. Curry's sensitive treatment of the subject. As a fan of Ms. Wasserstein, who grew up in the same era, with the same type of Jewish parents, I loved every word of this piece and the opportunity to learn more about her life and upbringing. Read it. Produce it.
  • The Happy Place
    11 Dec. 2019
    I was lucky enough to see a production of THE HAPPY PLACE in Florida. The playwright deftly navigates farce and pathos, humor and loss in one ten-minute play. Very relatable and endearing characters in a play that is all about location, location, location!

    Dental floss! Beans! Chinese take-out! All these items make one heck of a Christmas story. At its heart, a heartwarming story about the families we choose, and the friendships we nurture. A beautiful play for the holiday season or anytime. Read it, produce it!
  • The Education of Jenna
    10 Dec. 2019
    What a beautiful, honest, extremely relatable gem of a play! The twist is truly wonderful, and you will feel for this three characters with distinctly different viewpoints. A bonus that the three characters are women. This play is getting produced and it is easy to see why. Read it, recommend it, produce it!
  • Thank You For Your Service

    A beautiful play about promises broken and kept, dogs and duty, and compassion. Original and deeply touching. Thank you, Mike Solomonson, for writing it.
  • Gershwin's Last Ride
    9 Dec. 2019
    A wild ride you won't soon forget. Original, fresh, funny, and who wouldn't love the name Gershwin? Read it, produce it!
  • Modern Miracle
    5 Dec. 2019
    Such a smart, funny satire. Steven G. Martin does it right in a play peopled with vibrant, interesting and instantly recognizable characters. He deftly pokes fun at current food trends and limitations while slipping in a couple of truths about humanity and helping one another along the way. I would love to see this. I would love to direct it. I wish I had written it! Enjoy this fantastic comedy.
  • MISSED CONNECTIONS

    A charming rom-com for twenty-something actors. Ms. O’Neill-Butler perfectly captures the social anxiety and longing for love in a sweet and funny play.
