  • Tom Petty

    Another super funny script by Iraisa Ann Reilly, she has a knack for easy and natural dialogue. TOM PETTY also lives in the same world as the last short of hers I read, THE HEARTBREAKERS, and now I kinda want to read the full-length play version with even more. Great characters too! Everything sucks you in.
  • The Heartbreakers

    Really funny play that draws a beautiful comparison to video games and dating. THE HEARTBREAKERS also nails roommate dynamics, nicely done!
  • Tinder... Sucka
    23 Apr. 2018
    Hilarious and groovy and wonderful. Everything from the situation, to the mixing of the Blaxplotation genre with the world of today and Tinder, to the characters, to the stage directions are great. Had me laughing out loud more than once. Reading TINDER.... SUCKA tons of images fly off the page and it's clear that Inda Craig-Galván is an incredibly talented writer. Produce this, please!

    Consent is sexy! And we need more more more more examples of this across all media. In #yesmeansyes Lashof's stage directions give the reader a clear and precise image and intent, which I believe to be essential for this play and plays like it.
  • Apollo Flies
    23 Apr. 2018
    An incredibly beautiful short play that captures so well both the ridiculous nature of romance, and the obsession we can develop with characters in the stories we love. Austgen has done so well with the comparisons she brings out in the play of so many classics, but she's also given careful consideration to the theatricality within the piece. I'd love to see a fully realized production of APOLLO FLIES, it would work really well as a curtain opener for any classic play, especially a romance.
  • Self Promoted
    23 Apr. 2018
    A tight and focused ten-minute that had me cringing with anticipation in the best possible way. SELF PROMOTED also had a few great moments of surprise, and three meaty roles for actors to dig into. Well done!
  • The United Plays of America - Nevada - The Loneliest Road in America
    22 Apr. 2018
    My favorite aspect of THE END OF THE ROAD Is the plays ability to be funny, touching, and scary all at once. Haas has two well developed sister characters as well, and enough suspense to keep any audience on the edge of their seats.
  • RUFF! RUFF! RUFF! A One-Minute Play for Two Kids
    22 Apr. 2018
    Really cute and fun. Wyndham captures a child's logic and tactics flawlessly.
  • FATIMA & MAAMA: A Ten-Minute TFY Play
    22 Apr. 2018
    I'm so impressed with the layering of these characters, and the huge stakes both are facing. FATIME & MAAMA is set up so beautifully, and so quickly, as it's a ten-minute, and Wyndham does an excellent job also showing the love/hate relationships between mothers and their teens.
  • FRIENDS WITH GUNS
    21 Apr. 2018
    I love how complex and complicated Walker allows all the characters to be. FRIENDS WITH GUNS deals with character first, and then the issue at hand, which is what I want from every play. Another excellent aspect of the script is the easy comedy and honesty in the dialogue. I'd run to see this in production, highly recommend!
