    Grittily poetic, unrelentingly brave. This play tells a beautiful story with love and integrity. It also offers complex, authentic roles for four actresses of two generations - two sets of actors portray sisters Meg and Ellen. Working on this play in development has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career.

    I adore this play. It's whip-smart, hilarious, moving, and humanizes these great writers, revealing that they are just like us: trying to find their place and love in a challenging time. This is an especially great play for college-age actors, full of great opportunities for both historical research and personal character-building discovery.
  • Good Day
    9 Dec. 2014
    Diana has captured the way that individual moments can be big enough to contain the profound and the mundane side by side. Her characters are both comedically and honestly drawn, her dialogue is whip-smart, and she lands the impact of grief right in your gut. With a rich and challenging role for a woman at its center, GOOD DAY is an engaging and deeply affecting ride through loss and the possibility of moving past it.

    Enchanting and dangerous, Gabby deftly investigates how time, fantasy, hope, and reality collide and ricochet. I love these characters, both laughing with and aching for them. Additionally, this play shows the changing economy of where our food comes from and what the new way really costs.
  • TENDER ROUGH ROUGH TENDER

    This play delightfully blazes through our expectations of how routine, love, and having a drink can look. Sarah offers poetry of text and physicality that would be a joy to explore with her in a rehearsal room.
  • How We Got On: a breakbeat play
    3 Jul. 2014
    This play testifies to Idris's power as both a poet and playwright. Full of ache, fire, and joy, HOW WE GOT ON celebrates the emergence of Hip-Hop, the limitless possibility of youth, and the importance of personal authenticity, especially when we're coming up. It is theatrical, immediate, delightful.
