“
Hilarious and quick. A perfect blend of rich English non-sense and dinosaurs. I can imagine an audience rolling in their seats during a production. ”

- Curves (a monologue) by23 Mar. 2018“ I have lived this monologue! Partain captures the voice of anyone who has every been surprised by their naked reflection in the mirror AND the joy of finding a safe haven to work out in. Super fun, would be great in an evening of other short works, or for an audition piece. ”
- Playing With Fired by22 Mar. 2018“ Funny and adorable. I found myself rooting for all the characters even though I was 99% sure that not all of them were going to get through this hiring/firing exercise with jobs. ”
- Let Down Your Hair by20 Mar. 2018“ Hilarious, dark, sensual, and lyric, LET DOWN YOUR HAIR is a wonderful piece of story telling that weaves together fairy tales with modern culture and politics in a beautiful and seamless story. The language is rich and the visuals and theatricality of this play are so exciting. Quick, someone produce this play so that I can see it! ”
- Las Pajaritas (formerly titled Pajarita) by16 Mar. 2018“ So beautiful and specific. The mother/daughter relationships are so well drawn and developed, and incredibly relatable. I loved the use of language throughout the piece, as well as the imagery. I would jump at the opportunity to see this play in production. ”
- Princess Audrey by5 Mar. 2018“ This short sweet play is 100% adorable and has a ton of heart. It features two fantastic roles for women and turns feminism on its head in a enticing way. Great play for any ten-minute festival. ”
- Sucia by21 Feb. 2018“ In a script where there's a lot to love, Jost's use of language is what strikes me the most. She blends Spanish and English cohesively and to great effect. Plus, there are talking pigeons. This show would be great for college and high school performers! ”
- The House the Grants Built by13 Feb. 2018“ Fascinating and timely play, that brought up for me so many interesting questions. Right now we're surrounded by the fact that ignoring the atrocities committed by the our country only makes the healing process impossible. But what if your direct ancestor was a part of the problem? How does that change how you identify? Who among us has the privilege to pick and choose our ancestry, and who can't escape theirs? ”
- Queen of the Sword by12 Feb. 2018“ Fun and so exciting! Hileman does an excellent job piecing a mysterious woman’s life together through a nonlinear timeline and some clever doubling. A great piece for movement and stage combat as well. Would work very well for high schools or colleges looking for a female heavy cast. ”
- Confidence (and The Speech) by8 Feb. 2018“ For me a good history play does two things, it focuses on action instead of only teaching the audience, and the event(s) depicted say something about the present time. Susan Lambert Hatem does both in "Confidence (and the Speech)" which never becomes merely a history lesson. It also offers a bit of hope in a time when hope is hard to come by. I think this play would do particularly well in college productions. ”
