  • Dialogue & Subtext for Breakfast by Domenick Danza
    23 Feb. 2020
    “ A hilarious primer on, well, how to create dialogue and subtext in a script, Danza'a short comedy also serves as a pretty accurate portrait of marriage as well. Fun, pointed, and educational satire that entertains as well. ”
  • Hello Ocean by J.Lois Diamond
    23 Feb. 2020
    “ A ghost story in which Nina Simone is the hard-hitting ghost? Yes, please! I love this play for so many reasons, not the least of which are Diamond's wryly humorous observations and her diamond sharp characters – pun not intended. ”
  • Are You Comfortable? by J.Lois Diamond
    23 Feb. 2020
    “ A stunning, concise, and hard-hitting3-minute punch to the gut from Diamond, with a final line that kills. A great role for a strong actress. ”
  • American Divide by Maximillian Gill
    23 Feb. 2020
    “ An intense, riveting, roller-coaster of a script with twists, turns, and drops that are as thrilling as they are stomach-churning. I'd love to see this staged; I imagine it would be an edge-of-my-seat experience. ”
  • Hope Sings, Nocturnal by Ken Preuss
    23 Feb. 2020
    “ A very simple act of kindness, a single word of encouragement... they can change the world. Or someone’s life. And this beautifully crafted little gem serves as a gentle reminder there is hope to be found in the darkest of moments, just from a simple act of kindness and word of encouragement from a stranger.

    And a wonderfully snappy homeless man’s perfectly timed retorts. ”
  • St. Francis by Miranda Jonté
    23 Feb. 2020
    “ Tessa is another of Jonte’s spiky, beautifully conceived characters, and it is her matter-of-fact, prickly passion that gives this lovely script an aching soul, and drives it forward to it’s perfectly right conclusion. Touching. ”
  • Tao of Fruit by Lucy Wang
    23 Feb. 2020
    “ A tender and touching short comedy, Lucy Wang's "Tao Of Fruit" earns laughs from its delightfully realized truths, and beautifully realized characters. A winner on all counts. ”
  • The Mimosa War by Maximillian Gill
    21 Feb. 2020
    “ This shouldn’t be as funny as it is given its graveyard dark subject matter, but the fact that one can laugh while horrified by this presciently dystopian play is a testament to Gill’s skillfully light touch, and the recognizably engaging characters he’s created. A frightening, but hilarious, work. ”
  • Sunday Sauce by Claudia Haas
    20 Feb. 2020
    “ OMG I LOVE THIS PLAY. Every single word of it, because every single word is so recognizably, hilariously true. Even the bittersweet moments are infused with a knowing humor that propels the play forward. There is so much love here, between the squabbling sisters at the heart of the play and in the writing, it's irresistible. And, as intentioned, the roles for "fine wine" actresses (as Haas refers to them) are rich and delicious. Like a good Sunday Sauce. ”
  • The Bitter and the Sweet by Maximillian Gill
    20 Feb. 2020
    “ An engaging family drama that, like its title implies, is both bitter and sweet, and in all the right proportions. Simply drawn, and at times very funny, this play moves one because its story and its characters are both so specific, yet universally relatable. Highly recommended. ”
