“ The handbag may be faux, but the bruising identity crises of these characters are very real and very funny. Christine Toy Johnson’s play, which will work pretty damn well on stage or radio, uses a desperate quest for leather goods to unmask the true needs of these six footloose Asian-Americans. Trapped in a merchandising theme park, they have only a few hours to achieve professional success, meet impossible family obligations, and keep faith with their homeland. Altogether, a wonderfully imaginative comedy. Produce this play! ”

“ In this shattering dramatization, reporter Nellie Bly goes undercover to expose the cruel mistreatment of women at the insane asylum on Blackwell’s Island, New York City in 1887. Nellie befriends a woman named Anne, who is worn down but wrongly committed and has no one left to save her. The story of the asylum is told through Anne’s eyes – how every working woman is just one job, one accident, or one marriage away from being branded insane and locked away forever. Near Nellie Bly is a brutal, beautifully written shot of truth. ”

“ In this brilliant and chilling drama, a split-up family can’t agree on what to do with its isolated, insolent, gamer teenage son. When his survivalist mother tries to push him into a life of home schooling off the grid, he chooses to escape on the only path he knows. Kari Bentley-Quinn’s Prepared is a fierce, finely cut diamond of a story. Produce this play! ”

“ I love the way Fathers draws me in. It gives me a breezy, funny showbiz story about a wildly successful TV sitcom actor woman working to break out of the box by playing all of King Lear's daughters at once. And then it blossoms into this other story about how to survive, out-grow, and out-live your father(s) by finding yourself. A great read and a wonderful play for a cast of 2. ”
