- THE PLATYPODES by26 Sep. 2019“ Huge kudos to Asher Wyndham for diving into the moral complexities of a divisive issue and coming up with a story that is rich, challenging and rewarding. This play had me thinking about the characters for days afterward, and I'm sure a full production would be even more profound. No matter where you stand on the abortion debate, this will have you rethinking your assumptions. ”
- LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION: a Very Short Play About Children and Guns by17 Sep. 2019“ Maddening and so on point. This should be performed in front of every state legislature and every town hall given by our elected, alleged "leaders." Thank you, Scott, for writing this. ”
- Dark and Stormy by15 Sep. 2019“ An exciting and intense 1-minute play whose real horror comes not from the supernatural but from the real world (as it does). ”
- HEART OF A WOMAN IN A PRESSURE COOKER: a journey in eight notions by Ephrym Justyce by14 Sep. 2019“ Oh, man. This play has EVERYTHING you know and hate about avant-garde, plotless theater. As such, it's a cringing, hilarious sendup of same. I think of this play as part satire, part object lesson for anyone tempted to write a play with the attitude of "Plot Doesn't Matter." Read this play and consider yourself warned. ”
- PARTNER OF — by4 Sep. 2019“ The story of Sally Hemmings is often overlooked, and Rachael Carnes' short but powerful "Partner Of --" does a great job of bringing her experience, and her trauma, to life. As always, she does a lot in a few pages. This is a compelling historical work. ”
- THIS IS HOW IT STARTS by4 Sep. 2019“ Horrifying. Powerful and horrifying. What makes this play so disturbing is that the scenario -- people trying in vain to thwart an inhumane practice by the U.S. government -- is so realistic. "This Is How It Starts" isn't just a satire; it's a warning. ”
- Back of The Throat by13 Jul. 2019“ This is a tight drama that builds tension one line at a time. Really well done, and I agree with Cheryl Bear: This needs to be produced everywhere. ”
- Perfecting the Kiss: a mockumentary for the stage by11 Jul. 2019“ Scott Sickles creates a perfect love -- pentagon? -- in this hilarious sendup of fringe theater. It's also a good cautionary tale for anyone involved in theater at any level. (Except maybe prop managers. They're fine.) I love the way that Scott creates complicated relationships that are funny and also heartfelt, and he does so expertly in this play. ”
- Hand on Heart by24 Apr. 2019“ You don't expect romance to blossom (certainly not in a "meet-cute" kind of way) out of an attempted terrorist attack, but Scott C. Sickles expertly subverts all kinds of preconceived notions in "Hand on Heart." This clever, concise play shows that the perceptions we have of one another can be wrong in so many ways. As usual, he accomplishes a great deal in a small space. ”
