  • LIFEGUARD by Kristen Palmer
    22 Mar. 2021
    “ A lovely, funny, sad coming-of-age story that reads as fast as a summer rushing by too quickly. If you can still remember grown-ups who thought they knew what you should do with your life, you will love this play. ”
  • ABRAHAM'S DAUGHTERS by Emma Goldman-Sherman
    21 Mar. 2021
    “ In Abraham's Daughters, a cast of just five stands in for a whole world of missed intentions, short-sighted errors, and embarrassing relatives. It is a great joy to see Emma Goldman-Sherman paint on such a vast, wide canvass to give us this funny, heart-breaking, audacious play. ”
  • Not Even the Girlfriend by Emma Goldman-Sherman
    17 Mar. 2021
    “ This is a biting, tough, hard-caper story with a killer ending. And a great role for a young woman. Produce this play! ”
  • The Future Is Female... by Nandita Shenoy
    9 Mar. 2021
    “ In this funny and engaging new play, three very different women are suckered into becoming bunk-mates at a women-only retreat where they are chained to an impossible health regimen with questionable politics. Baby Camp is a hard-biting, deftly-targeted story that reminds us how easily our values can be compromised. Produce this play! ”
  • The Lucky Ones by Lia Romeo
    2 Mar. 2021
    “ The Lucky Ones is a sad, funny, beautifully written play about a pair of mismatched friends who are not quite able to outrun the larger world around them. A jarring diagnosis from a barely cogent doctor forces each of the women to take on a new, discomforting role in their relationship. Produce this play! ”
  • Man of the Flesh by Octavio Solis
    26 Feb. 2021
    “ A very funny and contemporary adaptation of the Don Juan story. Man of the Flesh features a rhyming narrator, an unrepentant Juan, and a full slate of women who are much more than victims. Wonderful comedy and great storytelling. ”
  • Ants by Saviana Stanescu
    17 Feb. 2021
    “ ANTS is a smart, funny, fast-moving comedy about a doctoral student who can't quite let go of the belief that her ant colony research will solve all her problems. The big sister she depends on is now out of work and her thesis adviser boss keeps holding her back. But it will all be fixed if only she can figure out how to make a lowly worker ant into a queen. A great read! ”
  • RED BIKE by Caridad Svich
    8 Feb. 2021
    “ The 11-year-old voice in RED BIKE is a wonder of vivid images, flashing scenery, and things people wish for but will never have. There's a lot this young person doesn't understand, but she/he knows what the unknowns are -- all the things missing from the lives of the people in this small, sad town. RED BIKE is a voice poem masterwork. ”
  • FINDING NEIL PATRICK HARRIS by Donna Hoke
    18 Jan. 2021
    “ Two nail salon co-workers who get great enjoyment out of disliking each other are compelled by the dying wish of their dearest customer to embark on a not very well planned out celebrity hunt. Donna Hoke’s comedy is very funny, very heartfelt, and very easy to stage. Produce this play! ”
  • COCKEYED TODAY by Donna Hoke
    4 Jan. 2021
    “ In the true spirit of daytime soap operas, Cockeyed Today gives us a delicious bowl of office gossip, seasoned with spoiled careers and wrecked relationships. Donna Hoke's play is wisely funny, sad, and then funny again. A great read! ”
