What a roller coaster ride of a short play! It has incredible movement, force, the pacing is unbelievable, a total blast for actors, a director, and designers. I love plays that push the boundaries of what we think can live on stage, and Hirsch swings for the fences with this one. Also, not for nothing, it made me laugh and cry.

An incredibly funny sex positive play for two actors to have a blast with and make an audience roar with laughter. I had many laugh out loud moments just reading it off the page. This would be so fantastic performed live! Really fun work.

A beautiful script. I was so invested in the characters, and their lives, I was on the edge of my seat while reading. My heart was breaking for the lack of options for Pilar, the loneliness of Zoe, the dashed spirit of Dani. I wish I'd seen the production earlier this year, and hoping this play keeps getting produced! Highly recommend reading and producing.

TEENAGE DICK is outstanding! It was hilarious, just reading it in the comfort of my own home. I can only imagine how funny this play is live. The heightened language laced throughout is brilliant. One of the best Shakespeare inspired plays I've come across. I can't wait to see this performed! If you get the chance, jump to see/read/produce it.

Haunting and heartbreaking. DOOR TO BALLOON weaves three seemingly separate worlds into one to create an evocative and challenging play about trauma and how we can ever hope to recover. I loved the juxtaposition, the bleeding between the three worlds, the inner world of our stand-up comedian that she can't keep down. Another play deserving to be produced, consumed, and discussed around the country. Highly recommend for production and reading!

Dark and unique and funny as hell. I love the use of seemingly unconnected short plays living together in this one shared world. A look at celebrity and fame and our culture's blood thirst for more more more. Why do we think we're owed anything from the people we look at from afar and worship? And what would it be like if you had no say in your fame, because what you are famous for was never intended for public consumption? Goldner does an expert job at tackling this, and Anne Frank's legacy with tact, respect, and humor.

A dark and scary as hell play that had me on the invested and tense the whole time. Right away it is clear that this world is not right, and McVay teases out little bread crumbs along the way letting us discover just disturbing it really is. Very excited to see where this play goes, as well as this playwright.

There is so much excitement and life in this play! It would be incredible to see this fully realized, wrestling ring and all. THE LAST RING has some fantastic roles for women who are ready to get sweaty and rough on stage. Really well done.

This is a beautiful and gut wrenching play about love, family, addiction, and what happens when all three intersect. It had me in tears multiple times reading it off the page. Each character is so full and complex. I was grabbed from the very first page. Would love to see this produced. Excellent work.

I was lucky to catch the production of this at Pygmalion Productions. It's a sharp and an incredibly imaginative play. SWEETHEART COME exposes loneliness, longing, and what can happen to the mind and body of a person trapped. Larson offers three fantastic roles as well. Toward the end I nearly jumped out of my chair! Not an easy thing to accomplish in the theatre. Highly recommend!
