  • Donna Hoke: Webster's Bitch (Full-Length)

    Fantastic! Smart, fast-moving, funny. A play that's about everyday office stuff and so, so much more. Simple sets, complex characters, and an inside look at the way a word can change everything in today's world. Loved it!

  • Donna Hoke: Goodnight Embryos

    As someone who faced Em and Belle's situation, it was refreshing to see the choice examined in both a thoughtful and entertaining way. So many people probably never consider this, and this play epitomizes what theater is for.

  • Donna Hoke: Long Layover

    I read so many plays for contests and if this one crossed my path, I would definitely pass it on for being original and current in the most inventive ways. This play is a breath of fresh air--relevant, smart, FUNNY (so funny), and written with a voice that sings. Loved it!

  • Donna Hoke: Burst

    In real-time, Rachel delivers a pressure cooker of powerhouse roles for three women and centers them in a tale usually reserved for men. In doing so, she allows themes of late-stage capitalism and wish-cycling blindness to resonate with truthful undercurrents about feminism, sexism, and women's relationships to other women. The result is a fast and fresh evening of theater. Bravo!

  • Donna Hoke: She's Blown Away

    So great, so relatable, and so true. Vince backs us into the privilege males think they have when it comes to demonstrating their feelings and it packs a wallop. Great job!

  • Donna Hoke: Neighbor Jane

    Neighbor Jane takes you places you don't expect to go--and then leaves you there with your questions, which is the point. In our current world, we're being challenged to ask questions, seek the truth, and dig deeper when something doesn't feel right.

  • Donna Hoke: Dark Skinned Pavement

    A poignant reminder that behind the tragic headlines there are families learning to live with grief in the public eye and then, sometimes even harder, continuing to live with it once the public has stopped paying attention. When is it worth reopening the wounds and how do we live with the scars? Thank you, TJ.

  • Donna Hoke: The Chisera

    I was deeply struck by the sacrifices we make for both passion and progress, but this was one of just many themes skillfully woven throughout this poetic piece. Lovely work.
