  • Rachel Bublitz: The Impracticality of Modern-Day Mastodons by Rachel Teagle
    “

    This play is a beautiful explosion of imagination and craft! Teagle builds an amazing world that has you rushing from page to page reveling in the humor, honesty, and absurdity of this place that grants you childhood wishes permanently. It’s also a play that’s jumping off the page to be staged! I highly recommend read and producing this script. Mastodons for ever.

  • Rachel Bublitz: POSITIVE by Emily Krause
    “

    A fantastic short piece that isn’t afraid to get down and dirty (or bloody). Krause manages to fit in so much life in the brief pages, as well as three rich and full characters ready for actors to step in to. I’m excited to read more of her work.

  • Rachel Bublitz: Rights Restored (a monologue) by Olivia Matthews
    “

    Who doesn't love a voting sticker? This monologue is so funny, and pointed. I love how direct Matthews makes it, there's such a clear drive to it. You also learn a ton about Gina in the brief time we have with her, and it never feels like exposition. The comedy is punctuated by a couple of sobering moments in the script, and the two tones play off one another beautifully. Really well done.

  • Rachel Bublitz: Baxter (ten-minute) by Olivia Matthews
    “

    A very sweet short play about burn out, stress, and how hard it can be to ask for help. Also, you just can’t go wrong with giant talking stuffed bears.

  • Rachel Bublitz: Protect and Serve by Brian James Polak
    “

    Heart breaking and heart wrenching. PROTECT AND SERVE is a devastating ten-minute play that asks why not all children are allowed to be children.

  • Rachel Bublitz: What we need at the end of the day… by Brian James Polak
    “

    This play made me think about forgiveness and if it’s for the person who wronged, the person was wronged, or both... Letting go of your anger is, in a way, a gift to yourself even if the person doesn’t deserve to be let off the hook but at what cost? Do you lose yourself or respect for yourself in that choice? This play that sends me off on lots of questions, none of which have easy answers... Which is just what I love for in powerful stories.

    I love this play so incredibly much that I want to eat it so that it will live inside of me. It is hilarious, daring, honest, and so freaking sexy. COLLECTIVE RAGE is brilliant in every way. Read it! Produce it!

  • Rachel Bublitz: Pussygrabber by Gina Femia
    “

    This piece gave me a visceral reaction, I could feel it in my stomach as I read, in the tears welling in my eyes. Femia makes a jarring and yet apt comparison between a moment in the 2016 election in which one of the then candidates, and now our president, bragged on tape about grabbing women and a specific and personal sexual assault. There’s brilliant brevity to her dialogue, it would be devastating to see staged.

  • Rachel Bublitz: Apple Season by E. M. Lewis
    “

    A haunting look at trauma and time. Are places our memory keepers, and would avoiding or destroying them set us free? This question is at the center of EM Lewis’ beautiful script. Time is played with in a highly theatricality manner, and the spectacle written into the stage direction has me wishing for a near to me production of this play. So well crafted, highly recommend.

  • Rachel Bublitz: Talking to Myself by Cameron Houg
    “

    A short play that is flat out huge in scope. I love the flexibility in the casting, and what Houg leaves unsaid between the characters, it creates this wonderful sophistication in the dialogue, and pulls an audience in instead of giving them all the facts. The end left me with a lot of tension, which is impressive, as it's a play that shows the future. Well done.
