  • Kate Danley: I'm f*cking tired of writing plays about this by Rachel Lynett
    “

    A powerful play that packs a punch, and challenges the use of trauma for theatrical entertainment. It is a call to action and demands that theatres expand their definition of black plays and playwrights, and stop the stereotyping of what BIPOC playwrights are allowed to write about in order for their voice to have value to the American theatre scene.

  • Kate Danley: Tragedy Averted by Alexandra Petri
    “

    Absolutely HILARIOUS comedy with heart about Shakespeare's heroines at summer camp. The script is a delight, filled with witty references to the Bard. The pace is lightning quick and the jokes are tight. If you're looking for a strong script with an all-female cast, this is an absolute gem!

    A brutal and honest play that explores sex and love and intimacy and damage.

  • Kate Danley: THE DRESSING ROOM by William Ludel
    “

    A beautiful play that dances between time and examines relationships over the years. The drama of life is put against the backdrop of the drama of theatre. There's love, there's laughter, there's joy, there's regret. And all in a dressing room! Delightful and clever, while also full of heart.

  • Kate Danley: Sisterhood in the Time of the Apocalypse-10 minute version: by Kendra Augustin
    “

    A clown, a hot air balloon, and an exploration of family dynamics set against the apocalypse. What is not to love about this piece? It is imaginative and larger than life while also delving into universal struggles with a gentle touch.

  • Kate Danley: Ink'dWell by Erin E. Adams

    Part ghost story. Part family drama. It all adds up to a gorgeous, haunting piece that grapples with the fallout of tragedy and all the elements that lead up to that point. The dialog flows naturally, which contrasts beautifully with the magical realism. This script offers some fantastic, nuanced acting and imaginative staging opportunities!

  • Kate Danley: "Acting" by Janelle Lawrence
    “

    A great monologue about that wonderful (and nerve wracking) moment that will come for all actors when the pandemic is over and live auditions start again. SO sweet and identifiable!

  • Kate Danley: Rumpelstiltskin: A Film Noir by Michael Hagins
    “

    I would love to see this in performance! Noir meets fairytales with humor and fun (and the detective role would make Raymond Chandler proud!) Inventive and original with creative staging potential that will make your director brain ping with ideas.

    Hilarious play about a very specific kink. What's the saying about getting your motor revved? A great piece for older comedic actors.
