  • The Quickie
    14 Apr. 2018
    THE QUICKIE by Donna Hoke gets so much accomplished in its short 10 pages. I was instantly invested in both characters, Hoke is clearly a master at creating conflict right from the get go, and the ending was spot on. Really well done.
  • Anticipations of the Reaction of Mechanical and Scientific Progress Upon Human Life and Thought... Abridged. Or Gigglemug
    14 Apr. 2018
    What an imaginative and fun one-act! The premise of the story is fantastic, and it's got a pay off to match. I love how Gonzales gives care to each of his characters, they all have different stakes, and are almost all in their own worlds, and it's a joy to see those worlds bump up into each other in this quick sci-fi play.
  • A La Roro

    I really love this play! Anything that can take complex social issues and deliver them to an audience of all ages in a honest, simple, and compelling way, you have a winner. Really well written, would love to see this produced, I'd love to take my kids to see this produced!
  • How Do You Say, Hola
    14 Apr. 2018
    A powerful ten-minute about family, generations, identity, the culture we decide to hold on to, and the culture we decide to lose. The use of both English and Spanish is used to great effect, and the characters are drawn with such ease and clarity. HOLD DO YOU SAY, HOLA makes me excited to read more of Art Por Diaz's work.
  • Adorable Kitten Image Collapse
    13 Apr. 2018
    I loved ADORABLE KITTEN IMAGE COLLAPSE so freakin' much! It is hilarious, timely, and the characters are wild and have so much at stake. What a treat for everyone involved, from the designers who get to bring all the theatricality to life, to the actors who all have killer parts, to a director who'd get to navigate this amazing world Yockey creates in just ten pages, and finally the audience who gets to enjoy all of the things put together. Highly recommend you read and produce this play! Especially produce it near me, please and thank you.
  • In the Blood
    13 Apr. 2018
    Vivid world and characters created in such a small space and time. THE PINK STUFF is filled with terrifying lines like "The three of us- we were home. The sun was alive." which pulls you right in to this horrifying world Partain has created. And while the horror is spot on, there's also a heartbreaking brother/sister relationship as well. Damn those zombies!
  • Love in the Time of Zombies

    I loved the workshop I saw of this with SF Theatre Pub. It's funny and scary and romantic and a lot of fun. So many fun design opportunities with this play, would run to see it in production!
  • Hellhound
    12 Apr. 2018
    Hilarious and lightning fast, HELLHOUND mixes greek myth with slasher horror and 80s/90s nostalgia to great effect. Perfect if you're looking for a fun comedic play for Halloween (or anytime, I like to get my funny/scary on year round).
  • MAMI'S HOUSE
    12 Apr. 2018
    Haunting and engaging short play. It makes you question what home is, and how or if we can get by without the physical house that last held our loved ones.
  • Power/Responsibility
    11 Apr. 2018
    Fun and quick, POWER/RESPONSIBILITY sets up its world lightning fast. Would be so fun in production, Hileman gives a lot for actors to play with.
