  • Darcy Parker Bruce: Rust On Bone by Bianca Sams
    “

    This play is a tidal wave. Devra is a character we can lose ourselves in and RUST is a play with high stakes that keeps revving up. An exploration of what it means to be asked to return to a world you protected that isn't able to protect you. A fascinating play.

    “

    This play is effortless. Elyzabeth does such a wonderful job of writing a play that moves so fluidly. The story- like the mermaid- pulls you in. Theatrical and lovely, EVERYTHING THAT'S BEAUTIFUL is beautiful. And heart-wrenching. And important. Please read and produce!

  • Darcy Parker Bruce: COYOTE HOUR by Margaret Baldwin

    Oh this play stole my heart. At times so funny I thought I was going to pee and then without a warning a moment so perfectly placed the story and the stakes just lock in and the play just makes sense in a whole new way. I loved it. This play also has some gems of dialogue, and 'I'd hate to taint your knobs' is going to stick with me for a while. Wonderful work.

  • Darcy Parker Bruce: Girl Becomes Bone by Callan Stout
    “

    I love the way Callan's brain works and I love this play. GIRL BECOMES BONE is an expansive and intimate look at a world and its promise left behind. Callan writes characters you invest yourself in, and the language of this play is so lovely and specific and poetic. I love it, and I hope it's read and produced widely.

    Oh Peter. Your work is marvelous marvelous marvelous. What a beautiful assortment of thoughts La Claque is. And all with a very specific vision, and purpose, and melody- you don't need to hear the music to understand this work.

An artist to watch and an artist to celebrate, please produce this if only so I can be in the room with the characters and the music.

  • Darcy Parker Bruce: Two Degrees by Tira Palmquist
    “

    Tira is one of my favorite playwrights. She has a way of writing humanity into every moment and every character, but she also continues to write important, politically informed, and relevant works for the world we are living in right now. TWO DEGREES is a desperately important play with a strong narrative and moments of beautiful theatricality. I would love to see this play produced again and again!

    I worked with Josh while he was developing this piece with Exquisite Corpse company and I love the way his brain works. He's wild, and this play shows that wildness with his wonderful imagination. Josh is someone you want in the room. He is a lovely human, and this play is a RIDE. Read it!
