  • Donna Hoke: Appetizers, or "On an Island Somewhere"

    Scott does a great job of portraying the heartbreaking futility of conversion efforts. If only I could prop Pence's eyes open with toothpicks and make him watch this.

  • Donna Hoke: The True Meaning of Christmas

    Excellent send-up of the fight against capitalism and commercialism at Christmas. Nothing heartwarming about it, and that's the point. Yay!

    Hell yes, this is how you do a bench play that isn't just your average bench play!

  • Donna Hoke: Something Old, Something New

    I love plays that deliver universal truth with comedy and love, and this one does both perfectly even as it provides some fun roles for older actors. Recommend!

  • Donna Hoke: I Thank My Lucky Stars

    A clever monologue that works to show us how complicit we've been, and until the end, we don't even realize how sucked in we are. Great job!

  • Donna Hoke: Reykjavík

    Is this the Yockiest of the Yockey? It might be, and that only means the best possible things. Lyrical, moving, real, poignant, otherworldly, scary... Steve covers it all and seemingly seamlessly. A beautiful read that would no doubt be even more beautiful fully rendered.

  • Donna Hoke: Amherst, Maine

    A creepy little short that plays well with misdirection. I always wondered what people wrote for those ten-minute horror festivals and now I know!

  • Donna Hoke: José Interprets Dreams

    Another seemingly simple Hageman play--that isn't. A masterful emotional wallop where no word is an accident. Beautiful.

  • Donna Hoke: Hurry Up and Wait

    I love this little play because it isn't precious in its treatment of disability. It confronts the reality of daily challenges with compassion and humor--a rare find.

  • Donna Hoke: Order & Law

    The definition of comedy is truth and pain, and ORDER AND LAW has all three as it drives home its message about sexism.
