In many of Henry's plays there's a beautiful moment of transformation or transcendence. Sometimes it's sweet and tender. In this play it's something else - it's horrific, and it's just right. And beautiful. Girrls may howl along with the female character after she responds to sexual harrasment at work. Perfect for a showcase on #metoo or a showcase of Halloween plays.

A Looney Toons cartoon for the stage, a gut-busting shorty with some serious bite where canines are stand-ins for humans. This would be a great play for a costume designer!

A play in a park like no other. The playwright has created his own mythology on imaginary friends that I'd love to see played out in other plays. At times sweet, other times sad, a powerful little play that commands your attention from page one.

If Raymond Carver was alive, I think he'd admire what Alterman has achieved in a short amount of time -- a powerful examination of a marriage in dissolution. Perfect structure. Highly recommended for short play festivals.

Highly recommend for production. An epic play on love and falling out of love and falling back in love, on first date and the end of civilization (?) and everything in between (raising kids and book burning) -- a play that asks big questions on love, sex, marriage, parenting -- all of it narrated with a language that's only for theatre. Reminds me of Jenny Schwartz's playful approach to language. Check it out. I will definitely check out Song's other plays!

A creepy short play inspired by Hansel and Gretel - a fairy tale for adults - with a twisted ending that I didn't see coming - that really makes you think about the failure of parents to warn their children about the evil in this world. When is the right time to scare the s$&! out of your child? Don't parents have a role to play in the child's loss of innocence? If not, it may be too late.

I have read numerous short plays by Carnes and I looked forward to seeing her talent for characterization and spectacle on the larger scale - this full-length American farce didn't disappoint. You'll immediately be intrigued by her wacky ensemble of strangers and losers and how she balances, as the play progresses, the various subplots and relationships, all while developed the theme of loss. One of the best characters, I think is not human - it's Malheur, the B&B, this place of refuge in the middle of nowhere - a dream-come-true for a scenic designer. I can imagine that backdrop...

Nelson DM's 'Mami's House" is a perfect prologue, a perfect first play to a cycle of plays on Puerto Rico - an introduction to American audiences and literary managers to one of the most confident young playwrights on New Play Exchange (that's what I think) - a Latinx playwright exploring Boricua and American identity who needs your serious attention now - c'mon! - read, share, produce his work - check it out Caridad Svich - it's necessary, experimental, diverse, evocative, political, intense, intimate.

With each new play, Carnes explores a different structure and language, and it's so exciting. 'The Pact' is a perfect example of play unlike any other, where Carnes' imagination, the bodies and voices of the stage in her mind, is showcased with a startling spectacle.

Probably Matthew Weaver's plays will not be available in the year 9936 due to some apocalyptic event, but his plays will definitely be appreciated for many years - I wouldn't be surprised for more than 100 years - on numerous stages on planet Earth for their charm and comedy. This is Weaver at his strangest and his best - it's a sci-fi romp that plays with structure and language and takes the reader (and hopefully an audience very soon) to a place they've never been to before. PRODUCE THIS PLAY NOW!
