  • Arianna Rose: Barbie Throws a House Party!

    I loved everything about this play, from the way it’s laid out on the page to the way it peels back the shiny veneer of the Barbie Dream House to reveal...plastic. Rooting for Skipper and her dreams of nature. Run, girl!

  • Arianna Rose: Essentials

    I love plays with a twist, and in one minute Robert Weibezahl unrolls a surprising conclusion. A tart commentary on our current Pandemic situation and how panic and fear cause us to lose our humanity.

  • Arianna Rose: Artifact

    Who knew that the contents of a Duane Reade bag could have me white-knuckling it through the entire play? Playwright Robert Weibezahl skillfully rachets up the tension in this taut two-hander. So well-constructed, with totally relatable characters. Not a wasted word or movement. As a native New Yorker who's ridden the Staten Island Ferry many times, I heartily commend this play. Read it and produce it!

  • Arianna Rose: Cookie Cutter Christmas

    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

    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)

    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)

    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.

  • Arianna Rose: FICTION FRICTION - (from the STILL FEISTY COLLECTION)

    A love letter to Missouri, to readers of great literature, and lovers of great minds. Who knows who'll you will meet on a park bench and how it will change your life? A gem of a play by Vivian Lermond.

  • Arianna Rose: Turning Tables

    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!
