  • To Saints and Stars by Jordan Ramirez Puckett
    18 Jul. 2020
    “ Though at its purest a play about faith vs. science, this play is also about what it takes to and how we advance humanity which, in some ways, are thornier questions. Jordan presents it all beautifully through a female lens that aces the Bechdel test while simultaneously showing us how far women have come and how far we still have to go. Stellar (NPI!) work!! ”
  • Rights of Passage by Michelle Tyrene Johnson
    10 Jul. 2020
    “ A powerful work that lays bare all manner of assumptions and their inherent dangers. I loved hearing Michelle's strong voice in Pat, and Pat doesn't pull any punches! So glad I got to watch this and sad that this play is as timely and relevant as if it were written yesterday. Michelle's is a necessary and challenging voice. ”
  • To Change a Tampon: How It Is, and How It Should Be by Emily Hageman
    10 Jul. 2020
    “ LOL! Calls to mind that my stealthily hid tampons have ended up on floors where I pretend to not see them! If humor is truth and pain, this play is a RIOT! Another wonderful Hageman play! ”
  • I'm f*cking tired of writing plays about this by Rachel Lynett
    30 Jun. 2020
    “ A one-act that's going to be EVERYWHERE. I almost want to tell you not to read it so that when you do see it, it'll pack the punch it's intended to and needs to. Because it's a BIG AND PERFECT punch and I want you to feel it. But you're probably going to read it anyway and you should, because it's great. ”
  • Bufflehead Bay ( Full-length Play) by Sheila Rinear
    30 Jun. 2020
    “ As a former Jerseyan, I loved being in place with this script! The story and heartache feel real and will resonate with anyone who's had to start over. ”
  • THE LAST DATE by Emma Goldman-Sherman
    19 Jun. 2020
    “ A genius play that's going to cause a lot of discomfort and a lot of fights on the way home. By the time the car rolls into the driveway, let's hope some eyes have been opened. Perfect. ”
  • Santa's Dolphins by Patrick Gabridge
    13 May. 2020
    “ A holiday comedy about global warming? Leave it to Patrick to pull that off with lots of laughs and subtle caution--and star-crossed lovers too! Great holiday festival pick! ”
  • The Way You Made Me (a solo show) by Lindsay Partain
    11 May. 2020
    “ Language to luxuriate in and learn from. A powerful solo show. ”
  • Drive by Deborah Yarchun
    9 May. 2020
    “ Yarchun is chronicling the demise of the trucking industry through the eyes of displaced drivers in one Iowa town, but the melancholy tone of the play and the despair of the newly unemployed cut across so many industries that have eroded in the wake of technology. This particular take on automation--unemployment--strikes a particular chord in May 2020 when so many are dealing with unemployment and these same questions of identity and value in the wake of forced joblessness. A gnawing, powerful, and poignant work. ”
  • A New Play by Matthew Weaver by Matthew Weaver
    7 May. 2020
    “ LOL. Matthew has hilariously ensured the legacy of his own canon with witty gem! ”
