  • Goodnight Embryos by Maureen McGranaghan
    13 Feb. 2024
    “ 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. ”
  • Long Layover by Michelle Tyrene Johnson
    10 Jan. 2024
    “ 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! ”
  • Dating as a Future Gay Dad by Bram Hartman
    20 Jun. 2023
    “ What a great monologue for auditions! Such a clear objective, humor, and impeccable pacing! ”
  • PRACTICE HOUSE by Rachael Carnes
    8 Jan. 2023
    “ Aw! This is adorable and funny and yay for the accepting sports parent! Audiences will love this one! ”
  • Burst by Rachel Bublitz
    27 Oct. 2022
    “ 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! ”
  • She's Blown Away by Vince Gatton
    20 Mar. 2022
    “ 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! ”
  • Neighbor Jane by Tina Esper
    3 Mar. 2022
    “ 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. ”
  • Dark Skinned Pavement by TJ Young
    6 Feb. 2022
    “ 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. ”
  • The Chisera by Paula Cizmar
    6 Feb. 2022
    “ 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. ”
  • how it feels to fall from the sky by Dominic Finocchiaro
    6 Feb. 2022
    “ A strong character-based examination of the difference small connections can make and how commonality can overcome disparity. I have a similarly themed play so felt this deeply. Lovely work. ”
