  • GET SEXY ON ZOOM, a 10 minute Zoom play by Andrea Aptecker
    16 Feb. 2021
    “ You'll likely have read a number of plays on Zoom about the way things are now, but Andrea Aptecker's GET SEXY ON ZOOM is more real and salient than most. Aptecker shows with great wit and precision the fault lines between desire, responsibility, and the perils of flirting on zoom while your kid is just behind the door. ”
  • A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S SLAM, a 10-minute LGBTQ+ comedy in modern language by Arianna Rose
    17 Jun. 2020
    “ This is a delightful mashup which imagines characters from A Midsummer Night's Dream running into the poet Sappho, and who discover they have much to discuss together. Rose cleverly uses our familiarity with both of her classic sources to spin a new, fun tale about Shakespeare's women. ”
  • Paletas de Coco or, The Letter Unspoken or, The Christmas Eve Play by Franky D. Gonzalez
    7 Jun. 2020
    “ An intensely personal autobiographical story, the type of which I would never even dare to try to write. Daring and with a particular, creative theatricality and humor beyond its confessional one-person play trappings. I'm particularly interested in how this show changes from night to night with different people in the second role. ”
  • Walden by Amy Berryman
    7 Jun. 2020
    “ A moving, well-observed play which uses science fiction as a backdrop for the examination of a prickly sibling rivalry between. Cassie and Stella are at turns warm and resentful towards one another. Richly detailed and emotionally resonant, Berryman is wonderful at taking both science fiction tenets and interpersonal drama seriously to eye opening results. ”
  • Wild Goose Dreams by Hansol Jung
    14 Dec. 2019
    “ A beguiling and very specific piece which places you in the subculture at the intersection of North and South Korean cultures through the lives of uprooted outcasts. Also a unique exploration of social media portrayed onstage as a hypermodern Greek chorus. Theatrical and personal all at the same time. ”
  • The Tragic Ecstasy of Girlhood by Kira Rockwell
    3 Dec. 2019
    “ An empathetic and warm-hearted look at the lives of five girls at the margins of society. Carefully observed and generous in spirit. This was the featured play on an episode of Boston Podcast Players podcast. https://www.bostonpodcastplayers.com/updates/2019/12/4/the-tragic-ecstasy ”
  • Frank Forgot his Wallet: A Credit Card Statement in 29 Scenes by Finley K Foster
    4 Nov. 2019
    “ A sprawling look at modern life through the pinhole of our economic transactions. People try to make their little corner of capitalism more tolerable with wide ranging consequences, with side trips to the rich guy who invented credit cards and socialist Emma Goldman, among others. This piece is theatrical, ambitious, funny, and clever. ”
  • Death Wings by Bess Welden
    4 Nov. 2019
    “ A lyrical meditation on birth, death and memory through the lens of the Icarus myth as it applies to the family members of three generations of women. Mysterious and moving, this would be a treat to see produced with its use of song and a Greek chorus. ”
  • ¡Mamágua! by jose sebastian alberdi
    4 Nov. 2019
    “ A riotous bilingual telenovela meets supernatural horror movie romp. You might find yourself describing the plot of this play to someone and see their face grimace in horror before you remember to tell them that it's actually really, really funny. ”
  • Stuck in the Middle by Paul Braverman
    6 Oct. 2019
    “ A pure comic gem. Three hot dogs in a convenience store debate the meaning of it all in spectacular fashion. When meat products debate Pascal's Wager you know you have something special. ”
