  • Through the Darkest of Stars, Toward the Brightest of Futures by John Adams
    6 Oct. 2019
    “ A sci-fi short which builds a delightfully weird sci-fi universe of inverted gender roles, Victorian mores, and ever shifting power dynamics. Based on the feedback of the session, I believe the author will expand the piece out to better fit its epic themes. ”
  • Whisper into the Ground by Olivia Haller
    6 Oct. 2019
    “ Translates a Greek chorus into a modern day social media mob in this highly theatrical take on guilt and morality. ”
  • Overqualified by Lainie Vansant
    6 Oct. 2019
    “ Makes the terror of job hunting theatrically delightful through the clever use of masks to dramatize putting your best face forward in the absurdly dehumanizing process of interviewing. ”
  • EGG IN SPOON by Rachael Carnes
    6 Oct. 2019
    “ Four generations of women in a near future that is a little too possible for my tastes. Even with the dystopian anti-women overtones of the world built, the thing referenced afterwards most throughout the weekend of the Midwest Dramatists Conference was the great grandma getting sex lessons in the nursing home. ”
  • There Are No Small Parts by Bryan Colley
    6 Oct. 2019
    “ A clever Inside Hollywood look at the high stakes behind casting the bittest of bit parts.Full of great details like the importance of having a part with a first AND last name attached.

  • Saving The Playhouses by David Fristrom
    17 Apr. 2019
    “ An expansive imagining of the wheelings and dealings involved in the business behind the scenes of Shakespeare's England. The play is brimming with research about various real life figures brought to life by Fristrom's sure hand. This playwright will be featured in a future episode of Boston Podcast Players (bostonpodcastplayers.com) ”
  • Nurse Play by James Wilkinson
    17 Apr. 2019
    “ Wild and over the top. A battle of wills between two strange adversaries. NURSE PLAY crackles with sinister energy throughout and ends in a shocking crescendo. This playwright will be featured in a future episode of the Boston Podcast Players podcast (bostonpodcastplayers.com). ”
  • Corrections by Jackie Martin
    17 Apr. 2019
    “ A well-observed, taut character piece about two people trying to find their way forward in an unexpected life situation. Martin's dialogue is observant and sharp, her handling of the characters sensitive and knowing. This playwright will be featured on a future episode of Boston Podcast Players (bostonpodcastplayers.com). ”
  • Deal Me Out by MJ Halberstadt
    5 Mar. 2019
    “ An intriguing look at group dynamics which lets us sit in on a longstanding board gaming group which has decided that one of its members has to leave for the sake of the whole in the wake of the 2016 election. Halberstadt uses sharply drawn characters which lets the issues percolate beneath the surface, and the boardgaming culture is done justice with well chosen references. The play was featured in an episode of Boston Podcast Players (https://www.bostonpodcastplayers.com/updates/2019/9/4/mj-halberstadt) ”
  • Rocks Algae Water Stars by Jonathan O'Neill
    26 Jan. 2019
    “ A funny and oddly touching imagining of the inner lives of the two Mars rovers, as personified by two human actors, searching for a purpose that may or may not be there on the seemingly barren rock to which they've been conscripted, and comradery amongst robots. ”
