  • And Sometimes Y

    Not only a great concept as a loveletter to language, but also great execution. Some of the shorts have the quick comedic punch-lines you'd expect, but some are tender dramas that inspire emotions. Also, now I can't stop thinking and speaking in alliteration, so there's that.
  • The Even More Lamentable Tragedy of Lavinia
    8 Aug. 2019
    What fun! Lavinia's eventual terrible fate brings a well-earned element of gravitas to this playful pop-culture farce. A quick-witted comedy with pith and just enough heart. The banter would sparkle on stage, and so would all that much-anticipated blood.

    Inventive abstract imagery enhances the bare lyricism of this piece. Goldman-Sherman has crafted an incisive display of the cruel traps laid for women in our society, past and present. Takes on the political issue of abortion rights with intimate pathos, exacting a weighty, arduous pace that is exhausting even though the playing time is so short. A steadfast declaration that must be made.
  • POP POP WAS A WAR HERO

    The banter between mother and daughter is rhythmic and fresh, with nice authentic interruptions cutting in and out. This strong female duo would be a pleasure to watch onstage.
  • Dead Meat

    Saw this performed as a staged reading by Ignition Arts at the Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma in March 2019. Smart and delightfully perplexing, Zubel undercuts the dude-bro caricatures and laugh-out-loud absurdist humor with the claustrophobic scenes of Alex and her quest for survival. An unexpected, thought-provoking take on zombies about gender and rules and the importance of BBQ.
