“
This is a play that is both heartbreaking and uplifting, sad and funny, despondent and hopeful, a play with great emotion, wit, and charm. Read it and, if you are so situated, produce it. ”

- Just Desserts by21 Sep. 2022“ A terrific, terrifically dark comedy for anybody who's ever had their food stolen from a communal refrigerator ... as well as everyone else. Who knew vigilante justice in the company breakroom could be this much fun? ”
- Monsters Beyond the Midnight Zone by20 Sep. 2022“ As absorbing as it is terrifying, this short will have you on the edge of your seat until the heartbreaking ending. I'd love to see it staged.
” - Amelia, Still by20 Sep. 2022“ A thrilling play about being adventurous, being dangerous, and being yourself in a world where everyone else plays it safe. Allie is a powerful metaphor for artists and anyone else who risks it all because it's the only way they know to be. I can't wait for "it" to come back either. ”
- Stand Easy, Stranger. A Ten-minute play by9 Jun. 2022“ I just loved this play, with its theme repeating, always the same, but always different, absurd and profound in equal measure and always, always funny. I would love to see a production. ”
- Sad Lonely People by8 Jun. 2022“ For a play about loneliness at New Year's, this one is unrelentingly funny, as it subverts all of your preconceived notions about two socially unsuccessful people who at bottom are pretty okay with themselves. I'd love to see this staged. ”
- The 867 Deaths of Jesse James by8 Jun. 2022“ This is a gem of a play that contemplates the guilt, fatigue and desire for deliverance of all who are doomed to live, and does it with drama, surprising humor and a wonderful ending. ”
- We Jump Broom by10 May. 2022“ A short but powerful play that covers much ground in a hopeful, beautiful, but always realistic manner that never lets us forget its circumstances. A play that should be seen and is worthy of many productions ”
- Lois Returns by3 May. 2022“ I saw this play as part of the Boston Theater Marathon, and it was one of the funniest of the two-hour set. A Rosenstein-and-Guilderstern-type look at what one of pop culture's most famous girlfriends is worrying about offstage while her man is saveing the world onstage. Great idea, great execution. ”
- Sugar by22 Mar. 2022“ One woman's seemingly awkward attempt to meet the woman in the apartment next door suddenly takes on a very different meaning and all the odd details that came before make sense. Skillfully plotted and written, with a ending as powerful as it is surprising. ”
