  • Questions that have Answers by Eulàlia Comas
    24 Mar. 2023
    “ QUESTIONS THAT HAVE ANSWERS is a shattering piece of theatre that continues to blow my mind days later. Laia's play challenges, engages, and startles; she has such an eye for nuance and strangeness that creates amazing possibilities for actors and other members of a creative team. The set itself is exciting, with physical stage moments reminiscent of Rivera's CLOUD TECTONICS. I'm desperate to see the way this play progresses and the success it will inevitably have. If you're looking for someone to push you and challenge your preconceptions, look no further than Eulália Comas. ”
  • Marble Rooftop, Emma Has Church by Eliana Theologides Rodriguez
    24 Mar. 2023
    “ I'm obsessively in love with this play. Eliana has gifted us with 7 young women who dazzle and shine with unique voices and desperate needs. The play has moments of true joy and deep, intense dread; the threat of male infiltration into this party creates stakes that rise ever higher from beginning to end. You'll fall in love with these characters, long for what's best for them, feel their joy, and feel wrecked by their commitment to each other. These girls are lions and I love them. Read this play. ”
  • Down and Out in Rocky Heights by Eric Matthew Richardson
    17 Dec. 2022
    “ "To most, a chemical reaction is chaos [...] When in fact, it's merely a return to order."

    This musical had me from the very beginning --- it's so theatrical and exciting. I was on the edge of my seat by page 4. The town is a character in itself, aging and sinister in a really satisfying way. The story is an important and memorable one.

    I highly recommend exploring this impressive, imaginative, and anarchic work. ”
  • Dupe by Adrienne Dawes
    22 Nov. 2022
    “ I had the pleasure of engaging in a feedback discussion about DUPE with The Athena Project, and it was such a fantastic conversation. The reception was overwhelmingly positive, which is no surprise: DUPE is electrifying, exciting, edge-of-your-seat, twisty-turny fun. The mirrors upon mirrors, the twinning upon twinning --- it's funny, but it's also dark and kind of scary. I loved the play and am so glad that this was my introduction to Dawes' writing. Highly recommend! ”
  • Literally, The Worst by Dana Schwartz
    12 May. 2022
    “ I was lucky enough to see a reading of a selection from this play this week, and I was laughing from beginning to end. These people are the worst in the very best way, and I cant wait to experience the rest of the story. ”
  • The Sounds They Make On Their Way Down by Christopher Shultz
    12 May. 2022
    “ I was lucky to hear a reading of this terrific, surprising, riveting monologue this week, and I highly recommend it. I was immediately captured by the character, the voice, and the story. It kept me on the edge of my seat for the entire 10 minutes. ”
  • A 3-act, centuries-long love affair (abridged) by John Mabey
    22 Apr. 2022
    “ How did I get so invested in these two characters over the course of one page that I legitimately got goosebumps at the last line? Ah, love. Ah, John Mabey. What a good and wonderful little play. ”
  • God Chooses Arkansas by Lee R. Lawing
    2 May. 2021
    “ I had the pleasure to hear a reading of this play, and it's such a great time. The setup is hilarious, and the ending is so satisfying. I love Lee's plays, and this is another delightful romp. ”
  • The Last Airbender Was Whitewashed by Imani Alyse Redman
    1 Mar. 2021
    “ I love this short play. The dialogue is focused, intense, and visceral -- I truly didn't know how it would end, and I was on the edge of my seat. A really great short play. ”
  • Stiletto Envy by Eliana Pipes
    1 Mar. 2021
    “ I'm absolutely in love with STILETTO ENVY. It's sweet, it's sad, it's funny: it's really a perfect ten-minute play. ”
