    This story of sibling rivalry, identity, and the messiness of dating had me smiling throughout! Complete with earnest dialogue and a surprise final twist, I would love to see this play performed by/for teenagers.

    This bittersweet reflection on the definition of marriage is a potent reminder that love and pain often come hand and hand. In such a short space, Downing creates three well-rounded, familiar characters all at odds with what society expects of them. Complete with a delightful absurdist twist, the ___ Wedding would be the highlight of any short play festival!

    A stunning reconstruction of some of Shakespeare's most disturbing scenes, Elisa lays bare what most would prefer to sweep under the rug. Ripe material for educational theatre and professional companies alike. Will be thinking about this one for a long time!

    Anyone who has been through therapy can relate to the horrifying ordeal of having your problems laid bare in front of you, and knowing that that is the only way for healing to begin. In the short span of 10 minutes, Basile creates a sharp portrait of two classic characters learning love is more complicated than undying devotion, bringing myth into reality sophistication and grace. Highly recommend!

    A fascinating look behind the scenes of the Hollywood machine that questions the price of fame with an elegant twist of humor. Recommended for artists and non-artists alike!

  • Rachael Powles: The Art of What You Want by Nat Cassidy
    “

    A downright chilling example of top-notch horror theatre. This play is a great balance of suspense and gore, complete with a twist ending I didn't expect at all. Part of me wants to know what happens next!

    What a remarkable play. What begins as a family/crime drama shifts into a masterful metatheatrical commentary on the stories we tell each other about our history and our present. Highly recommend!

  • Rachael Powles: THE BOYD SHOW by Melisa Tien
    “

    What a fascinating play. Boyd reminds me of the young men of my childhood in rural America, who had to grow up too fast and fell back on the Internet to find a place where they belonged. I wish we had more stories of these spaces. Melisa Tien builds a compelling world that neither stereotypes these people nor assigns blame. I'd love to see this play in production.

    Stunningly beautiful. The story of two unlikely united by the common enemy of impending mortality and a refusal to give up hope, MAN AND MOON is a seamless combination of reality and magic that takes you to that special place beyond the stars where few plays dare to tred.
