  • FLOATING BUBBLES by Jack Levine
    18 Jan. 2021
    “ What a sweet, silly play! Two people who march to the beat of a different drum happen to sit on the same bench at lunchtime and realize they just might hear the same beat. There's a lot here for actors to work with, and the simple location (park bench) makes it easy to stage. This would be a really cute one to see live! ”
  • NINEVEH by Michael J. Mejia
    18 Jan. 2021
    “ Nineveh delves into church politics among members of one of the more intolerant strains of Christianity, and how they attempt to square their beliefs with the world they inhabit. It is a quick, fascinating read in which characters I first saw as villains became heroes, characters I first saw as heroes became villains, and other characters just struggle to survive among them. Very interesting work, with some surprises along the way! ”
  • Goddess Of The Hunt by Doug DeVita
    17 Jan. 2021
    “ Oh my gosh, what a fun play! I especially loved the way Facebook posts were incorporated in between scenes and slowly discovering how characters were connected to each other as the play unfolded. I would also love a spinoff play about Ed and the cast of "Crazy for Abe" (a Sondheim musical about the Lincolns) because I smiled every time Ed talked about the show he was in. So much fun! And there's murder, too! ”
  • In the Heist by Allie Costa
    16 Jan. 2021
    “ Well this is delightful. It just kept heightening and heightening and heightening for ten hilarious pages. With all the visual gags, I would love to see "In the Heist" on stage! It's so smart and so funny. I can't wait to read more of Allie Costa's work! ”
  • Genesisters by Ken Preuss
    15 Jan. 2021
    “ “Genesisters” is terrific. It’s sharp, it’s funny, and it’s incredibly smart. Watching these women create Earth and prepare their pitch to God is thoroughly enjoyable. I would watch four hours of this, but unfortunately we’re only given ten minutes. We’re going to need to create our own pitch for Ken Preuss, explaining why we need more. ”
  • Peter Pan and Wendy by Lauren Gunderson
    14 Jan. 2021
    “ Best version of Peter Pan, hands down. As a kid, I never understood why Wendy would be cool with going to a place like Neverland just to sew pockets and look after a bunch of kids. This Wendy makes much more sense. I love the girl power trifecta of Wendy, Tiger Lily, and Tinkerbell, and so much more about this play. I hope it comes to my neck of the woods when theater returns. ”
  • Goldfish by DC Cathro
    13 Jan. 2021
    “ WOW. This play didn't go where I thought it was going to go at ALL - in the best way. Excellently creepy! If I saw "Goldfish" in a night of short plays, this is one that would stay with me. DC Cathro does a whole lot in just a few pages. ”
  • But What Do We Do With the Plane? by Michael Tricca
    13 Jan. 2021
    “ This play is wonderful. Two terrorists are planning to fly a hijacked plane into the Capitol, but Trump's terrorists are already there. Should they continue with their plans anyway, or should they fly somewhere else? This comedy is DARK and savagely funny. ”
  • RAKE (previously entitled RAKE OF HIS HEART) by Diane Baia Hale
    13 Jan. 2021
    “ Espionage, Nazis (WWII, not present day), a forbidden love affair - this play has it all! "Rake" is based on the true story of Denis Rake, a British spy who hid in plain sight as a female singer in occupied France. I thoroughly enjoyed it and am now about to take to Google to find out how much of this story is true. Very interesting stuff! ”
  • Divine Intervention by Kate Danley
    12 Jan. 2021
    “ I love a good play with God as a character! "Divine Intervention" is so funny and dark - and hit a liiiiittle too close to home. Sometimes it really does feel like God is doing everything he can to work against your dreams - but rarely in such a hilarious way as he is in this play. So much fun! ”
