  • Thrasher (10 minute excerpt of OFF THE PALISADES PARKWAY)
    25 Feb. 2021
    An effortlessly believable piece that is a wonderful study of a friendship; it leaves you wanting more.
  • B Is For
    22 Feb. 2021
    A wonderful piece about a difficult subject: Smart, sad, funny, brave, and poignant without ever crossing over to sentimentality. Very well done.
  • Phoenix Rising
    8 Dec. 2020
    A reinterpretation of Greek mythology for our times, as thrilling as it is brilliant.
  • THERE IS NO OTHER PATH
    12 Nov. 2020
    One of the funniest plays I've read in a while. Jerry Polner's take on cosmetic marketing is as hysterical as it is disturbing.
  • The New Abnormal (a Ten-Minute Zoom Comedy)
    9 Oct. 2020
    I saw a recording of this play as a Zoom play in The Shelter Plays festival (theshelterplays.com). A very funny play that is all too meta and all too true. Watch it.

    A delicately beautiful contemplation of dying and death, of how difficult it is to leave this world, and of how the right friend can help one find the way. Just lovely.
  • Seven Minutes in Heaven (a seven minute play)
    6 Oct. 2020
    An utterly charming look at the most awkward seven minutes of ninth grade. A subjec that in other hands could have become trite is instead a very funny study of two very idiosyncratic characters.
  • A Harmony of Both
    18 Sep. 2020
    This play is delightfully goofy and intelligent in equal measure. Its closing plea that we reengage with the natural world takes on a surprisingly different meaning to the housebound during this pandemic.
  • Sock Puppet Fetish Noir
    10 Sep. 2020
    A truly inspired comedy, combining noir and sock puppets. Brilliantly funny.
  • How Are We Doing?
    1 Sep. 2020
    This play in ten minutes manages to get at the heart of the despair so many of us are living we right and makes it look effortless. Astonishingly good.
