Lewis's world-building through realistic scenes and dreams creates in the reader's mind an unforgettable spectacle. If this gets produced where I'm living or visiting, I will definitely be front row!
If you're a designer in school or professional theatre this is a must-read.
A poignant play on pain.

Set in the future, this satire on the wrong way to respond to gun violence, hits the target -- the pro-gun advocates. And it does more than that; it forces the gun control advocates to respond, do something NOW to prevent the future in this play from coming true. Umbrellas should just be umbrellas, but if we don't do enough maybe they will do more that keep rain off our kids.
Highly recommended for every single staged reading or production on gun control.

This play would be a sight to see on stage, widening our eyes, imagination, and heart, reminding us of the beauty of human interactions both public and private, kind of like minature Dogville (the Lars Von Trier film, but not creepy) or like Middletown (the Will Eno play).
Wow.

This play is at one moment heartbreaking, another moment heartwarming about the difficulty of moving on for a parent and their child after another parent exits the family.
A quirky play (takes place at a nudist beach!) that'll have a huge emotional impact on your audience.

A bonkers-concept, a therapy session with a birthday cake that not only makes your mouth water, but makes you think about yourself and people-pleasing, or not.
Would be a great play after a few drinks or not.
Monologue plays from the perspective of non-human are rare, so check this out.
A costume designer would love this play.

This is a history-inspired play, taking place a bit after the Stonewall Riots, but the violence it alludes to and the tensions between the characters are still current. In a country where the government has power to deny rights for LGBT folx and where hate crimes can happen anytime, even during Pride, this play can speak to us right now.
A smart choice for any play queer festival.

This serio-comic play asks some important questions. How can we be a legit ally that makes a difference, makes lasting change? Is it by making a big movie gesture, a political one, one that gets a lot of attention like the one Lori's wants to do? Or is it smaller, more personal, private, intimate, one that shows love and respect and understanding for the other person that's the minority? The analogy between ally and partner that this play suggests is a powerful one.
Highly recommended play for a Queer or Pride festival.

Dosia's words have the power to appeal to more than just other women in the audience -- anyone who's different in some way, in respects to race, gender expression, sexual orientation, body size -- anyone marginalized and criticized -- will hear truths in this play.
A universal play for a diverse audience.
Goldman-Sherman's non-naturalistic, feminist solos deserve more attention. I'd love to see an evening of them.

An important reminder for the lovesick, those can't muster the courage to make the first step and flirt.
A little play with big heart that made me a little bit depressed one moment because I identity with this guy, and then the next lifts your spirit.
A smart choice for a solo festival on love or for Valentine's Day.

A beautiful play that reminds sexual minorities or anyone marginalized to stay true to their desires and identity even if their community disapproves.
The final lines are a knockout.
Recommended for any festival on lesbians themes. Just perfect for a play festival during Pride.
