  • The Four Senses of Love by Arthur M Jolly
    26 May. 2021
    “ I really love this play in both concept and execution. It is such a study in how love can be experienced richly in so many unique ways. I'm currently in an interabled relationship and have been looking for shows that depict love and disabilities in interesting ways, this show does that very uniquely. ”
  • To The Moon! by Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend
    26 May. 2021
    “ This is a super fun and funny piece. Everyone's gotten caught in a lie that went a bit too far, but imagine if that lie sent you to the moon. What a wild *ride* this 10 minute is! ”
  • Schrödinger’s Highway by John Busser
    26 May. 2021
    “ This is a super well-paced piece with an interesting relationship involving two people who, all at once, feel very close and like they still have a lot to learn about each other. Their Shrodinger relationship is right at home in this play of Schrodinger's... It is interesting to think about how the incident depicted here will affect their relationship in the future. ”
  • How to Kill a Water Bear by Paige Zubel
    26 May. 2021
    “ Another great piece from a great playwright! I love the symbolism sprinkled throughout this play and how these symbols are used to contemplate, comment on, and depict trauma. ”
  • Made of Glass by Paige Zubel
    26 May. 2021
    “ A heartfelt piece cataloguing the transformation of a family. The play would resonate with anybody, but especially with parents, I think. It is wonderfully crafted and the characters speak with expertly rendered voices. ”
  • Dead Meat by Paige Zubel
    15 Nov. 2020
    “ I was lucky enough to see this piece as a reading before and found it absolutely thrilling. Now, in our time of covid, it's viral, post-apocalyptic setting somehow feels even more relevant. Here, Zubel is the crafter of a unique and terrifying world where BBQs rule, women are zombies, and you really shouldn't trust the meat. The characters are absolutely brimming with humor and the writing as as clever as it gets. And throughout is an overwhelming need to survive and find some semblance of normalcy. I highly recommend this play! ”
  • Fireworks by Ross Tedford Kendall
    1 Nov. 2020
    “ A subtle story of workplace anxiety with the emotional energy of a fireworks show. This well-paced show is a testament to the current state of the job market. The characters neatly grow and change across the page, where each beat is accented by a small explosion (some more controlled than others). ”
  • tom weiner is a sociopath by Sarah Jae Leiber
    23 Oct. 2020
    “ This show is a lot of quickly paced fun, and then just as quickly it becomes very real. I enjoyed the characters so much in this, finding each one endearing and their dialogue punchy and easy. The formatting makes it incredibly readable as well and the ending gives so much more than is even promised. ”
  • The Captain by Kate McMorran
    23 Oct. 2020
    “ As is characteristic in all of McMorran's plays, "The Captain" is deliciously awkward in the way that it slowly unfolds it's female protagonist before you. The delightfully absurd situation these two people find themselves in is at times funny and at times fertile ground for raw humanity. I highly recommend this play and her entire body of work for anybody who wants to laugh at this silly thing called "life." ”
