  • Well-Intentioned White People
    22 May. 2020
    A funny, pointed, well-crafted story about looking for racial justice in all the wrong places. Produce this play!
  • Any Day Now
    11 May. 2020
    A superbly funny, finely-tuned horror story that rings practically every social malady bell available on the road to its brutal, necessary climax. A stunning piece of work. Produce this play!
  • The Secretary
    1 May. 2020
    In a small town dominated by a local gun manufacturer, a circle of women each find a different way to make their life more tolerable with a firearm. THE SECRETARY is a very funny, hard-edged, expertly told story of Second Amendment America.
  • Paradise
    19 Apr. 2020
    In this brilliant and intricately structured two-character play, Laura Maria Censabella gives us a powerful story. Through the distortions of culture, religion, and science, each of the characters are faced with a heart-breaking moral choice.
  • The Exit Interview (Published by Concord)
    13 Apr. 2020
    The Exit Interview is a very funny romp of a play, Brechtian to its core, full of religion versus science, small talk versus big talk, and Fox News versus the rest of us. Bertolt would be jealous.
  • FRIENDS WITH GUNS
    12 Apr. 2020
    Stephanie Alison Walker pushes all the buttons in our head that make us recoil when we meet people who disagree with us about firearms in America. This brilliant play hits so hard because it’s not about the policy. It’s about the people. Read it!
  • Break
    4 Apr. 2020
    Sharp as a knife, funny, and very fast-moving, Break is about class distinctions and what can transcend them.
  • Babel
    2 Apr. 2020
    Babel is a stunning and shattering story of two couples trying to have babies that will pass society's new test for perfection. Not a single line is out of place in this brilliant, incisive look at our very near future.
  • Road Movies and Why We Hate Them
    1 Apr. 2020
    A razor-sharp comedy in the road movie tradition with plenty to say about dictatorships, spying, the military, and everything else shaped by Hollywood. And two great central roles for women!
  • TINY HOUSES
    14 Feb. 2020
    The unreality of a war and a plane crash and a storm of foreign languages puts Stefanie Zadravec’s dark comedy TINY HOUSES into its own world. But in this gem of a story, the characters underneath it all are still loving and flawed people trying to find their sense of purpose. Read it!
