    “ What's scary about this play is how absolutely plausible everything in it is: the self-righteous cyber terrorist, the catfishing, the identity theft. Every character has a dark secret, and none of them have the moral high ground. People are complicated, indeed, and these characters are the kind of people you want to watch on stage. They inspire shifting loyalties in the audience, making you question your own ethics, until the final unraveling of the truth. This play is an indictment of our online world -- one that we need. Brilliant! ”
  • The German Play by Ken Levine

    “ The comedy in this piece is great on the page, but on stage, you’d have audiences crying with hilarity! The poor actors in this piece are just trying to do a gig, but with a script like this, it’s hard to be at your best! The translation is tremendously bad, but that’s good for us, as we laugh with schadenfreude. Well done! ”
  • A Carefully Planned Spontaneity by Scott Sickles

    “ Having worked with an intimacy director on the last show I produced, this felt familiar to me. The characters in this show are on a journey toward authenticity in a performance, and while it feels foreign to choreograph and discuss every move, they find that that path yields far more intimate results. Ripe with comic potential! ”
  • A LIE-IN IN WINTER by Paul Smith
    24 Oct. 2022
    “ In my life, I have been both the child and the mother portrayed in this play! Short, but completely real, A Lie-in in Winter is a witty glimpse into the busy life of a parent, who cares so much that she'll even get her son ready for school on a Sunday. Well done! ”
  • Micronation by Ross Tedford Kendall
    3 Oct. 2022
    “ Oh gosh, this is capitalism and libertarianism at their craziest! Micronation is a zany example of political mayhem in the extreme, and it's pretty hilarious -- as long as it doesn't foretell the future of America! Very funny (and also a tad scary)! Highly recommended! ”
  • 5 Stages of Applications and Grief: A Monologue by Cole Hunter Dzubak
    3 Oct. 2022
    “ Graduate school can be a lot of things, but there's always a little disappointment involved, even if you DO get in. Here, we see a character reacting to being flat-out rejected by all the schools he applied to, and boy does it hurt! Ironically, the guy probably has a future in "unboxing" videos and doesn't even know it, but he's going to have to process this big obstacle first. There's some comic potential in here along with the grief. It would be a nice challenge for an actor! ”
  • Cake by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn

    “ There are some surprises in this play that I didn't expect. It's both humorous and sad in many ways. I love pieces that have missing characters, too. We learn so much about the people in the play through what they say about Hunter, who is gone. I found this piece touching and truthful about the ways depression messes with our heads. It would be great to see on stage! ”
  • ZOO LOO by Paul Smith
    3 Oct. 2022
    “ We all know a person like the employee: someone who's trying to be helpful, but is a little ... distracted. The humor in this piece comes not only from the daft employee, but also from the fact that we often can't see what's right in front of us and thus can't help ourselves. While this is a short piece, there's a lot to mine from its observations. Lots of fun for good actors! ”
  • CONTRAPPOSTO by Rachael Carnes

    “ This play hits all the right notes for me -- art, mythology, history, feminism? YES! I love it! It's a fun spoof on conventions in the Renaissance and the women who modeled for all these male painters. I would love to see this on stage! It's truly awesome! ”
  • So You Want To Create A Universe? by Sam Heyman
    3 Oct. 2022
    “ This show is a lot of fun! The mentor-mentee relationship is one I love exploring, and here, I love the interplay between the two gods and their ideas of creation. The references are hilarious and the comic possibilities endless. It would be a lot of fun to put on! ”
