  • Stephen Kaplan: Persephone

    Selected by multiple students to work on in our student-directed one act festival. Addressed the story line with humor and pathos and was a highlight of the evening.

    Such a fun piece! Ended our student-directed ten minute play festival and was the perfect way to end the evening on a high note.

  • Stephen Kaplan: 8 Floors and Counting

    Such a fun piece! Really great performance opportunity for the actors, playing multiple parts, and the ending came as a hilarious and perfect surprise. A perfect addition to a 10-minute play festival looking for something that all audiences can respond to.

  • Stephen Kaplan: PRACTICE HOUSE

    A dark and fever-dream view of both what women's societal views have been and could scarily become again. From the moment the play starts, it races with a fierce heartbeat and purpose to its terrifying and yet all-too-real climax. A feast for actors to play with its language and rhythms, Carnes captures a sense of nostalgia and mixes it with an insistence of the here and now.

  • Stephen Kaplan: The Three Sisters Brontë

    A brilliant combination of the Brontës and Chekhov's Three Sisters that illuminates each. Fantastic roles for actors (especially the women) and would be a perfect show for any theatre looking for a piece that lives comfortably alongside the "classics." Those that are familiar with Chekhov's play will get a kick out of how Hutton seamlessly replaces the moors for the "not Moscow" town and it makes you wonder if Chekhov had really had the three sisters Brontë in mind when he wrote his play. I can't wait to see this play done!

  • Stephen Kaplan: And the Four Last Things

    I had read the first 20 pages in a writer's group and immediately knew I wanted to read the full play. A fascinating story told in an incredibly theatrical manner. It keeps you wondering and guessing as to how things will turn out for Dyson and his ultimate fate. Inventive and constantly surprising.

  • Stephen Kaplan: Grown-Ass Louis

    One of the best ten-minute plays I've ever read. It astonishes me how much is packed into this tiny and beautiful piece that had me laughing, gasping, and gutted by the end. Wonderful.
