  • Slicing An Onion

    I love this play. It is a riveting piece of writing that anchors you with the smell of the onion slicing and the horrors of terror. It will stay with you. Beautiful writing, Diamond.
  • Thrasher (10 minute excerpt of OFF THE PALISADES PARKWAY)
    11 Jun. 2020
    This is the first play I've read by Nick Malakhow and it won't be the last. His characters, the language - you are there. It will even make you time travel back to those days in your own life - and there you are with these two besties who don't fit in (did anyone?). Their friendship is at that painful place where one starts to drift into a new group... Leaving the other?... Well done.
  • Another Park, Another Sunday
    11 Jun. 2020
    A captivating, warm play about life with two amiable characters. The well-written conceit works beautifully and it leaves you wanting more.
  • SUNSET AT SANTORINI (Drinks With New Friends)
    11 Jun. 2020
    Wow. An actors' delight! This surprising short play gives you atmosphere, characters -- you are sucked right in to their story and maybe, the joke will be on you! Wonderful writing by Glenn Alterman.
  • Home Three
    11 Jun. 2020
    I just had the luxury of seeing a zoom production of Home Three -- Alterman uses Zoom well in this piece and it and the relationships ring true in this two family setting. I look forward to reading more of his entertaining work.
  • Adored You
    11 Jun. 2020
    Relationships are a dance - sometimes the same dance as we get closer and closer to the initial steps - like the proverbial 'peeling an onion' - Openness, commitment, transparency to those around you -- I like this play because it gets deeper and deeper -- but I don't want to give away the end. A confident and interesting writer. I look forward to reading more of Lynett's work.
  • A House by the Side of the Road
    7 Jun. 2020
    As girls, my sister and I shared baseball with our father. I'd also play in the streets with neighbors and I was pretty good, too, but my older sister was always better. For me, this play invites nostalgia of watching the game with our father. I love the way the boys are handled by the father. The simplicity and importance of the game. I don't know if these moments exist any more but I'm sue glad Philip Middleton Williams caught the time and place.
  • Mind How You Go - Radio
    7 Jun. 2020
    Suspense created by the things that ironically, normally explains it away! Mind How You Go is defined by its location which is delineated beautifully by Foster. A wonderful changeup in any festival lineup.
  • LOSIN' IT
    6 Jun. 2020
    A short, concise reason to be living in the here and now. This easy to recognize gentleman lives in all of us and it's nice to know he finds this out in time for more living. A warm handshake of a play.
  • Mercy Otis Warren at the Pilgrim Hall Museum, 2028 - Monologue/Solo Short Play
    6 Jun. 2020
    Mercy Otis Warren is brought to life in a lovely way by the crafty writer Elisabeth Speckman. We see the span of a life, of a museum and of women's rights. It is delicious to watch Mercy become alive as a person. This is a wonderful piece - should be done in museums, classes and of course on stage. For all ages.
