  • Bridge of No Return by Scott Sickles
    1 Jun. 2020
    “ A brutal look at how we can continue to find new ways to hurt each other while maintaining a stalemate of peace. An eye-opening account of a long-ago real incident most people have probably never heard of but should have, this outrageous episode is presented in the most mundane way, an after-event account, which makes what occurred all the more horrific as the participants formulate a response. Fascinating and infuriating at the same time. Sickles play is a winner. ”
  • Address (short play) by David Hansen
    1 Jun. 2020
    “ It's a shame this isn't written to be spoken by a real politician addressing an audience that is hurting for a happier ending to the story we're currently living through. David's monologue provides a positive light we could all stand to be under right now. ”
  • Faded Shorts: 7 short plays about the mystery of life and beyond by Len Cuthbert
    24 May. 2020
    “ I highly recommend this collection of pieces about life and death, time and space, family and strangers, and of most importance, roller coasters. 7 rapid-fire, surprising, tender and heart-breaking plays that would make a wonderful evening of theater. ”
  • Interventions by Greg Lam
    21 May. 2020
    “ A terrific little jaunt through possibilities. I liked the opportunities this presents. ”
  • A Twin out of Time by Rom Watson
    21 May. 2020
    “ I was intrigued from the get go at the concept of this play. But it turned out to also be more tender and heartfelt than I would have thought it could be. A wonderful look at letting go not because we have to but because we're ready for it. A terrific play. ”
  • Bazookas by Sharon Goldner
    21 May. 2020
    “ I had a great time and a number of out loud laughs at this little slice of life about a women and her girls just getting something(s) off her chest. Or on her chest. You decide. ”
  • Rossum's Robot Truckers by Erin Marie Panttaja
    15 May. 2020
    “ A timely, if not unsettling look at where we are. Efficiency taking precedence over people, who are basically cutting their own throats in the pursuit of that efficiency. This play's look at the uncorking of a technological genie we will never get back in the bottle as long as there are profits to be made is frightening to contemplate. But an important battle is being fought here and Panttaja is taking note of it. ”
  • The Rapping by Eytan Deray
    14 May. 2020
    “ Oh what a blast to read this. I would love to see an audience reaction to this. We love to be scared and especially in groups like in a movie theater or theater. I fun little creeper of a play. ”
  • 172 PUSH-UPS by Scott Mullen
    14 May. 2020
    “ A wonderfully uplifting play that could have gone sour because of the tensions raised. I was hanging on every exchange and watching two people who don't back down from their convictions but are willing to see the other point of view even if they don't agree with it. Very touching. ”
  • True Colors by Julie Zaffarano
    11 May. 2020
    “ Oh how quick we are to jump to conclusions under adverse conditions. But this look at friends and colleagues turning on each other while playing musical chairs is both telling and hilarious. Would love to see this staged with rear projections of the screens dropping off one by one. A great visual for a decidedly static (at first) telling. ”
