  • Clairvoyáge by John Busser
    10 Dec. 2020
    “ John's work is always quick and snappy, and this piece is no exception. These are some fun roles for two women to play. I get a nice "Gilda Radner" impression from it. Lots of fun to stage also. Plenty of room for a simple stage design or complicated one if a theatre is looking to be ambitious. ”
  • Sexual Politics by JC Cifranic
    28 Jun. 2020
    “ This is probably one of the most brilliant adaptations of a Shakespeare piece so much so that it transcends its source material in the same way West Side Story does. The inclusive nature of the piece is a huge highlight as well. I've never seen an Ace character so positively featured in a play. Absolutely delightful from beginning to end. I cannot recommend this enough. ”
  • In the Slush by Daniel Prillaman
    18 May. 2020
    “ A fun, terrifying ride. Fantastically natural dialogue throughout an unnatural occurrence. A good sense of dread and foreboding throughout makes this a perfect piece for an autumn season. I'm excited to see how this piece is developed going forward. Very "stage-able." ”
  • Guardian by John Busser
    8 May. 2020
    “ A terrifying tale borne out of the pandemic. Excellent subversion of expectations. Could be easily staged and it's a small cast with some great character work to dig into. ”
  • NELL DASH, The Gruesomely Merry Adventures Of An Irrepressibly Sensible Capitalist With A Vengeance by Doug DeVita
    8 May. 2020
    “ My eyes are crossed from all the antics in this piece. And that's a wonderful thing. A fantastic mix of high and low brow humor. A comedy of mis-manners. ”
  • Form I-485 by Renee Schilling
    22 Jan. 2020
    “ Timely. A fascinating and frustrating look at something insanely broken. They say there's truth in comedy, and this is one of the most truthful pieces out there. ”
  • A Wicked Slice by John Busser
    22 Jan. 2020
    “ Instead of morality plays, Mr. Busser writes "im"morality plays. Delightfully funny with great zingers. ”
  • The Children Who Played at Slaughter by David Hansen
    22 Jan. 2020
    “ Welp. I'm going to have nightmares for a week after this one. That's a compliment. Terrifyingly creepy in all the right ways. I'm not familiar with the source material, but after reading this, I don't have to be. Bone chilling and allegorical. Short, but leaves a lasting impression. ”
  • Kafka in an Above Ground Pool by Renee Schilling
    22 Jan. 2020
    “ A goofy premise with a sweet message. Ms. Schilling's ability to create relationships with the variety of characters takes the dark, morose concept of the Metamorphosis and transforms it into something relatable and positive for us all today. I would consider the piece more a response to Kafka's greatest work than a parody, though she does a great job at balancing the original elements of the Metamorphosis while creating her own unique artistic vision. ”
  • A Long Overdue Talk With Henry by John Busser
    22 Jan. 2020
    “ John mixes vitriol and sentiment in a wonderful blend that creates a hilariously macabre setting. While short and sweet, I could see this doing well for a halloween anthology or evening of dark pieces. Especially with such a simple premise. Mr. Busser never disappoints. ”
