  • Default by Ken Love
    15 Sep. 2019
    “ Politics, on a national, familial, and personal level, are given a workout in this astute drama from Ken Love, which tackles the thorny issue of race-relations in a battle to the death for a senate seat between a young African American Republican Woman, and the Democratic incumbent who's held his seat for more than 40 years. The play pulls no punches; it aims for the gut and lands with force. Great roles for older actors. ”
  • Can't Live Without You by Philip Middleton Williams
    15 Sep. 2019
    “ High concept, low-comedy, sophisticated wit, and hilarious farce are mixed expertly in Philip Middleton William's smart romantic comedy "Can't Live Without You." Serious life choices are questioned, but not given short shrift as the play bubbles along like a cocktail that reveals deeper layers of flavor with each sip, and in the end packs quite a satisfying punch. ”
  • CowGirls by Mildred Inez Lewis
    13 Sep. 2019
    “ Brief, but exquisitely complex. Two great roles for women, with so many layers to explore. A stunning work. ”
  • Two Tickets to Delray Beach by Chris Gacinski
    12 Sep. 2019
    “ Drug addiction, child molestation, a community theater production of "Into The Woods," and a stage mother who makes Rose Hovick look warm and cuddly all clash and bubble over in this dark witch's brew of highly dysfunctional family dynamics. Great role for a child actor. ”
  • The Prisoner by Jim Lucason
    11 Sep. 2019
    “ Superb storytelling, ghoulishly witty gallows humor, larger-than-life-characters, and a wonderful twist at the end make Jim Lucason's "The Prisoner" fabulously entertaining to read. And with three roles for gifted actors to sink their teeth into, it should play even better. Dark fun! ”
  • Hobson's Choice by David Zarko
    10 Sep. 2019
    “ Delicately heartbreaking, David Zarko’s “Hobson’s Choice” beautifully limns the relationship between a 30-something woman and her gay boyfriend, carefully avoiding all the cliches by concentrating on the humanity of both characters as they face an impossible decision: continue with a relationship that is unsatisfying but comfortable, or have no relationship at all. A lovely, haunting work. ”
  • MEET YOUR MOUNTAIN - A New American Musical by Margaret Rose
    10 Sep. 2019
    “ A musical about the Donner Party? What an audacious idea. And yet, like many other unlikely subjects for musical treatment have in the past, Margaret Rose's strong book and Eric Rockwell's soaring score prove there is no story off limits when it is given the right treatment. And Rockwell and Rose have certainly done that. I hope this show enjoys a long, successful life – I for one would love to see it staged, sooner rather than later. ”
  • FUKT by Emma Goldman-Sherman
    10 Sep. 2019
    “ Brutally honest, intensely personal, gorgeously theatrical – Emma Goldman-Sherman's FUCKT is extraordinary on any and every level. As riveting as it is to read, I can only imagine how powerful it will be when staged. And it should be. Often. ”
  • The Violet Sisters by Gina Femia
    9 Sep. 2019
    “ Powerful, relentless, and grimly beautiful, Gina Femia's "The Violet Sisters" captures a soured sibling relationship in all its brutal glory, providing a tour de force for two performers to devour with gusto. Extraordinary. ”
  • Real Change by Scott Stolnack
    9 Sep. 2019
    “ At a taut 5-minutes, Scott Stolnack's "Real Change" keeps the tension rising right up until the last few lines, then delivers a twist to change our perspective that, while surprising, still provides an emotionally satisfying ending. Terrific roles for two actors. ”
