  • Arsonist by Jacqueline Goldfinger
    13 Nov. 2017
    “ A story of beauty, creation and destruction, grief, and love. THE ARSONISTS stunned me and changed me. Jacqueline Goldfinger deftly weaves together the deeply complex -
    legacy, fate, mourning - in a way that feels easy. A play that will stay in your head and work on you long after it's over. ”
  • Stage Mom by Steven Hayet
    13 Nov. 2017
    “ Three moms who want the best for their daughters butt heads as they compete for the spotlight (all for their daughters' sakes, of course). A funny and surprisingly sweet examination of mothers who want what any parent wants: for their kid to become the next Shirley MacLaine, obviously. ”
  • Changelings by Reina Hardy
    13 Nov. 2017
    “ Dark, funny, tragic, and imaginative: Changelings would be a joy to see staged. Reina Hardy manages to transform fantastical creatures into tragic heroes. This play surprised me again and again. ”
  • Lycanthrope by Jared Strange
    13 Nov. 2017
    “ Lycanthrope works on many levels: the horror- and monster-lover in me was excited by the way Strange weaves folklore and mystery into this piece; the world is rich, dark, and dangerous; and it was a stroke of genius to set this story in the years just after the American Civil War. Strange deftly explores racism and the human propensity to find a common enemy -- each character is both hero and monster in their own ways. ”
  • A Dream Of Japanese Horror by Rob Matsushita
    12 Nov. 2017
    “ This is a fun, imaginative short play that would be perfect in a horror festival, or frankly any ten-minute play festival. Funny, tongue-in-cheek, and ultimately thought-provoking. ”
  • dry bones rising by Cecelia Raker
    11 Nov. 2017
    “ I felt breathless when I reached the end of the beautiful, complex, heart-rending play. Raker has created a prophetic and timely story of survival and creation in a truly frightening, tragic landscape. dry bones rising is an important play. ”
  • Mercury by Steve Yockey
    11 Nov. 2017
    “ This play is a blast -- it had me hooked from the very beginning and kept me guessing all the way to the end. Incredibly imaginative, laugh-out-loud funny, and truly scary. As a lover of horror in all forms, this play was like a gift-wrapped present with my name on it. Please someone produce this within driving distance of my house. ”
  • Fabulous Monsters by Diana Burbano
    11 Nov. 2017
    “ FABULOUS MONSTERS is so worthy of its many recommendations and accolades. Edgy, funny, sweet, and sad. The relationships between these women are rough and honest -- these roles would be a dream for any actor. ”
  • Mississippi Goddamn by Aurin Squire
    11 Nov. 2017
    “ A subtle, searing series of shorts that would be a beautiful addition to any night of theatre exploring social justice and reactions to police brutality. ”
  • WOMEN LAUGHING ALONE WITH SALAD by Sheila Callaghan
    6 Nov. 2017
    “ This play is hilarious, dark, pointed, and sharp as a razor. A super fun and provocative read; it would be a thrill to see it onstage. ”
