  • Tactile Creatures by Scott Sickles
    11 Mar. 2019
    “ Quite a lovely little ghost story that in its brief pages manages to be, ahem, touching. In a small amount of space Scott Sickles gives us three fully realized characters, each of whom we feel emotionally invested in. ”
  • Investigation by David Nice
    11 Mar. 2019
    “ David Nice takes everything you think you might know about the setup -- coworkers investigating sexual harassment, stuck sharing a hotel room -- and upends it, creating a tense, thoughtful drama about the nature not just of workplace harassment but about human sexuality. Nice tackles the issues in this play with thoughtfulness and ingenuity. ”
  • Nonsense and Beauty by Scott Sickles
    10 Mar. 2019
    “ A remarkable drama about the life of one of the 20th century's best-known English authors and his doomed love life. The social norms and attitudes -- oh yeah, and the laws -- that forced Forster and Buckingham to carry on their romance in secret are not that far back in the rear view mirror of history, and Scott masterfully shows the price that they had to pay. This was a wonderful play to read. ”
  • Onion Ode by Matthew Weaver
    3 Mar. 2019
    “ This is a charming and funny monologue that had me grinning all the way through. It also contains what is now my favorite stage direction ever:
    "WALLA WALLA SWEET ONION fails, unless performer is good at juggling." ”
  • ECHOLOCATION by Rachael Carnes
    26 Feb. 2019
    “ A beautifully written, vivid and heart-rending piece that gets to the heart of our destruction of the natural world, as well as ourselves. Wonderful piece. ”
  • SH*T TRAIN by Rachael Carnes
    19 Feb. 2019
    “ It seems like every line in this fast-paced play could have been lifted verbatim from some office conversation or other. The cumulative effect is a funny and unnerving short play about the confusing nature of corporate life. I recommend it. ”
  • The World's Next Tooth Fairy Is Marci Peterson by Joanna Castle Miller
    18 Feb. 2019
    “ Joanna Miller's 10-minute play is a hoot, a clever satire that looks at how hard it is to pass the torch, even when both the older and the younger generations know that it's time. ”
  • The Bedroom Summit by Scott Sickles
    29 Jan. 2019
    “ A harrowing and thought-provoking play about homophobia, coming out and the volatile imbalance between people when one wants a relationship and the other does not. ”
