A super short play for two actors. Hilarious and meta-theatrically/magically realistically creepy. Caught a super reading by Tiny_Theatre. Bravo!

Layers of lessons in this short piece. "Real playwrights can change the thinking of the world" but it's the actor's search for the truth in their performance of the text that brings it to life. This monologue captures Stella Adler's voice splendidly. Lovely. Caught a super reading by Tiny_Theatre. Bravo D. Lee Miller and Rachel!

Many layers to this well-written short piece by Kim E. Ruyle: genuine warmth to the muse, humor to the eccentric B&B owners and a potential burgeoning imposter syndrome for our "main" character. Four well-conceived characters and simple staging. Bravo!

I avoided reading this play with its hard edged title knowing how tough, how "dark" a read it would be. Now I sit seconds after in the flood of feelings raised in reading it without regret and proud of Goldman-Sherman bringing this story "on stage..spotlighting women." The things we ignore, avoid and/or try to forget --as Goldman-Sherman depicts visually, psychologically and musically in this beautifully and hauntingly crafted play-- never truly resolve themselves until they are faced. Strong staging and lighting possibilities. Produce this play.

Powerful! "Nitty gritty... in the face of horrors that surrounds us" for sure. Bravo John Minigan for a spectacular script and a super workshop/reading on Back Porch Theater with Miranda Jonte, Stephanie Cearley and Mercedes Marcial. Minigan has created two beautifully "flawed humans" and a generational flipflop in this family of faith faced with drastic shifts in the world today and no other recourse but love. Wonderful.

Oh poor Tiresias, as if being cursed with prophecies no one will believe isn't enough, he has lived life for seven years as a woman, has had to (my favorite line) "constantly suppress [ his ] urge to snap back at the pompous stupidities uttered by [ his ] lord and master" and now he'll live on for years to come in a man's body contemplating the justice of the gods and the memory of those snakes. Rinkel's Tiresias is all at once coarse and yet enlightened and wonderfully matter-of-fact. Great work.

A lovely short play. I felt myself rooting for each of them at different points throughout the piece; that's always a good sign. Easy to stage, fun costumes. A perfectly human and humorous play for Halloween, or any time. Well done.

'Frankenstein' meets 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' Soucy creates "a world without limit. A world of magic and fantastic spirits." Great fun. Swordplay and steampunk theatricality. Favorite line: "every moment of everyday should overwhelm you."

The first word that came to mind was "Aldos Huxley-esque" with our introduction by Miss Peak into the piece. The world Corona creates is simple to stage and yet full of possibilities, even when viewed only from the enclosure of a waiting room. Favorite lines: "You really aren’t well." "No one who can see is." Well done!

Sapio "grab[s] us and hold[s] us" with his take on an iconic photograph. Humorous and touching. Well done!
