Coping with Autumn is a powerful play about mental health, domestic violence, and protecting the self. Jacob's experimentation with Autumn's interior emotions becoming exterior characters is fascinating to watch as Autumn navigates through impossible situations and painful relationships. The journey for Autumn is not simply one of survival, but also finding out how to live once you've survived. This will be incredible on stage! I can't wait to see it!

To me, this play shows how people can heal from their individual traumas through forming a community. It's a beautiful little piece and would be powerful on stage! I'd love to see it!!

I heard a reading of this play at the Indiana Playwrights Circle Scene Night, and it absolutely gutted me. I loved it so much. It speaks to our complicated relationship with food -- how we use it to celebrate, for solace, to escape. Martin takes us on a journey that is powerful and painful. It's an incredible trip. I'd love to see this on stage.

I love how "That Kind of Boy" completely subverts audience expectations and reveals the very best in people. For the first half, you feel your heart sinking, and then, the sudden reversal restores your faith in humanity. Thank god for plays like this.

The Lesson captures a moment that many men have in their lives -- the moment when they're shown that to "be a man" means to remove emotion from one's life. It is heartbreaking.

Phillie's Trilogy speaks to the cadence of life in family, friendships, and personal struggles. The messiness of growing up in the suburbs of the 1970s is featured here, along with relationships that we thought would last a lifetime, but then leave us cold. It's a beautiful rendering of characters who are forced to face themselves and their pain, regardless of whether it hurts themselves and others. Phillie's Trilogy is a beautiful piece of writing. I hope I can see it on stage someday!

I saw Tag at the Fat Turtle Theatre Quaranteeny Festival. It was one of my favorites of the night! Levine shows how clever and whimsical nostalgia can be in this 27-year-long game of Tag, and how revenge can rear its ugly head out of nowhere. Utterly hilarious.

The Order is laugh-out-loud hilarious and also brilliantly observant of human relationships and desires. You'll be holding your gut, laughing, while nodding your head with recognition. It's so good that it won the "actors' favorite" award for the Fat Turtle Quaranteeny Festival, which is where I saw it. Well deserved!

Levine's brilliance lies in his ability to capture the human soul in almost an instant. "I'm on a Train" does just that. It is a heartbreaking, beautiful little play that forecasts for every human with a soul how they will grieve their most precious loved ones. Absolutely phenomenal -- and a particularly good performance at Fat Turtle Theatre's Quaranteeny Festival, which is where I encountered it.

I saw That Kind of Boy at the Fat Turtle Theatre's Quaranteeny Festival. I thought I knew right where it was going, and then, boom! Twist! How do you get a twist in a 1-minute play? It was phenomenal!
