What a touching, moving, and exquisite play; beautifully written, it is filled with both the joy and despair of life, delivered in a forthright and truthful manner that is both engaging, and heartbreaking. Absolutely lovely.

What a gorgeous piece of writing; heartbreakingly touching and wildly theatrical, Kaplan captures the dynamics of a creative family with a sometimes acidic, sometimes honeyed pen, and in the process creates a vivid world of sorrow, loss, fear, and the redeeming power of love. Beautiful.

Perfecting The Kiss is a fall-on-the-floor funny valentine to the off-off B'way world and the people who populate it with such determined devotion. An absolutely delightful, fast-paced bon bon.

Composure shows Sickles doing what he does best: creating compelling characters one cares about from beginning to end, and then setting them up in a tense balancing act as they are forced to negotiate the tangled strands of their individual relationships with the central character, Fletcher Driscoll. That he does it with a swift-moving clarity is one of his greatest strengths as a playwright.

Another lyrically beautiful work from Robin; her ability to create genuine emotion with just the simplest of phrases and gestures is astonishing.

A gripping two character play that had me guessing all the way through.

Marshall raises some very intriguing questions about both academia and race-relations, and does so with laser beam precision. No one is completely right, no one is completely wrong, and the play is both deeply satisfying and deeply unsettling at the same time because of this.

"Five Husbands" is a terrific piece of writing; very, very funny, and so truthful it hurts. Marshall captures the humanity of his sometimes less than likable characters, which gives the play its heart.

This is a lovely, truthful play, with hard-hitting yet lyrical writing from O'Brien. A beautiful work.

"Face It, or The Transmogrification of Eliza Kline" is a fast-moving, hilariously dark look into the crumbling psyche of an aging actress, written with a surgeon's skill. Funny, touching, and with Weinberg's clear-eyed, truthful gaze, this comedy takes a hard look at the truths of out youth-and-beauty obsessed culture, and has some very satisfying things to say.
