  • GIANT SLALOM by Jess Honovich
    5 Aug. 2023
    “ Giant Slalom is a remarkable piece of writing. Twists, biting dialogue, genuine moments of connection, the thrill of athletic competition, and a truly touching ending that makes you crave more. One of the best pieces I have read/seen for high school students and adults. Produce immediately. ”
  • We're Just Redoing The Kitchen by Maddie Dennis-Yates
    18 Jul. 2023
    “ In one of my favorite plays, Maddie does a remarkable job with balancing the absurd and the brutally realistic. The Yogurt. The View. The Hands. They will stick with me forever. Must be produced immediately. ”
  • overlap by Erin Proctor
    3 Jul. 2023
    “ Fast, frantic, touching, and sexy. overlap's jarring shift in tone is incredibly shocking, grounded, and sublime. The script is begging to be staged! ”
  • The Apiary by Kate Douglas
    3 Jul. 2023
    “ This play took my breath away. An incredibly smart, funny, and deeply tragic piece that is stunning in its execution. ”
  • Service Industry by Enid Brain
    3 Jul. 2023
    “ Enid is brilliant at balancing comedy and hard truths. A brilliantly honest piece of work with my favorite first & last lines of all time. Produce it now. ”
  • Fuck That I Wanna Be Famous by Mary Lyon Kamitaki
    3 Jul. 2023
    “ An incredibly funny and dark examination of why people feel the need to go on TV shows and how producers will do anything they can to exploit that. Wacky, fun, and complex. The dynamic between all of the characters is so well-crafted. ”
  • A My Name Is Allison by Emery Schaffer
    28 Apr. 2020
    “ Emery's mastery of tension is on full display in this piece creating a wild ride that ebbs and flows between true "what the fuck-ery" and comedy and poignant moments of genuine introspection.
    Also, we stan a revenge play with Clue as the background.

    One of my favorite pieces that I've read in 2020. ”
  • She's Gone by Enid Brain
    29 Dec. 2019
    “ A phenomenal look at how we transfer our trauma from previous relationships onto new partners. Each scene feels fresh and new; not only in the world of the play, but in all of theater. Ezra's words transform seamlessly from incredibly witty banter to biting tear downs to hauntingly spare poetry.

    Can't recommend this play enough and hope that a production will come soon. ”
