  • Ivories by Riley Elton McCarthy
    9 Jun. 2022
    “ So imagine if Coraline met queer-horrorcore but wrapped in a thick Southern Gothic level of tension; that's this play. Who needs Nightmare on Elm Street when you just have to step inside the house in Ivories... ”
  • Karma Sutra Chai Tea Latte by Aeneas Sagar Hemphill
    12 Jun. 2021
    “ Okay, so who's going to bring this Brechtian, musical, biting epic to the stage? There are few playwrights willing to just say what you need to hear to your face like Aeneas, but KARMA SUTRA CHAI TEA LATTE is all those things - a skewering, a reckoning, a comedy and a GREAT TIME. ”
  • Saints Go Marching by Matt Barbot
    14 Dec. 2020
    “ Rarely do we get works like SAINTS GO MARCHING - ones that composite grief, ghosts, and getting on with life in such rich tapestries. If only aspirant sainthood applied to theater because I'd call someone up immediately to assign Matt's play such a title. Rich, loving, exceptional. ”
