  • I Hate This (a play without the baby) by David Hansen
    6 May. 2020
    “ People need this play to learn how to help parents who've lost infants, people those parents alone knew and loved. Kudos to David for sharing so much truth and pain in an effort to share awareness. ”
  • How to be a Respectable Junkie by Greg Vovos
    5 May. 2020
    “ This play is so very very hard... and so very very good. I hope it opens eyes and changes at least one life. ”
  • The Amazing Adventures of Barack Obama Black Panther (NEW - TYA play) last updated 10/01/20 by Paco José Madden
    4 May. 2020
    “ Youth audiences will love this blend of political and comic, truth and fantasy, and honestly, who doesn't think Barack Obama is a superhero? ”
  • Required Reading by Emily Hageman
    4 May. 2020
    “ Emily is just a freakin' genius and I've never read anything of hers that isn't just so dead on, particularly for the youth market. I loved reading this clever, dialogue-less play, and like all Emily's work, it simultaneously provides great role for youth and great substance. Another Hageman gem. ”
  • Marianas Trench (Part One of The Second World Trilogy) by Scott Sickles
    3 May. 2020
    “ I've been wanting to read this play for so long and am so glad I finally did! It's so imaginative and rich and layered and dramatic and theatrical but, most of all, SO ENGAGING. I was glued to every page. Wonderful, wonderful work. ”
  • El Yunque in English by Nelson Diaz-Marcano
    3 May. 2020
    “ So many commented here on the humor, which is evident, but what struck me most was the yearning in Pedro's efforts, the surety that speaking in English would somehow manage that. What emerged was a moving and melancholy allegory for an entire country desperate to be heard. ”
  • Refuge Malja ملجأ by Bess Welden
    28 Apr. 2020
    “ Everything you want in a work of art for the stage: theatrical, poetic, moving, and original. ”
  • Elijah by Sandy Rustin
    28 Apr. 2020
    “ Reminiscent of AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY, this play packs a lot into a funny and fast-paced seder comedy. ”
  • SETTLEMENTS by Seth Rozin
    28 Apr. 2020
    “ This play is fierce, radical, and true, and probably destined to be as controversial as the events that maybe/probably/could have inspired it. A call to arms for any theater asked to put its money where its mouth is. ”
  • Motherland by Lisa Kenner Grissom
    28 Apr. 2020
    “ Strong roles for women in a strong generational play about inherited trauma and how we process it when all we want to do is run from it. ”
