  • Jessie Salsbury: Pressure Points

    Wow. This is a sharp and fast paced 10 minute play. Highly uncomfortable to read, as it should be. Well crafted. The language used by Donegal is just crafty and should be very interesting for an actor to bite into. Brava.

  • Jessie Salsbury: Good Samaritan

    Deb does a wonderful job at giving little breadcrumbs at the beginning that something is ‘off’ about this good samaritan- leading to a crackerjack of a monologue. A crisp, dark, 10 minute play.

  • Jessie Salsbury: Sapience

    I had the privilege of watching Sapience virtually as a production with the Moxie Theatre. This is a beautiful play that addresses language, communication, love and grief with such care and grace. I hope that this play is performed across the country as it deserves every success and award. Brava.

  • Jessie Salsbury: Inside Man

    This is a fascinating work that encounters personal responsibility and our necessity to be accountable to ourselves and others. Solidly crafted and thoughtfully executed.

  • Jessie Salsbury: WE ARE BLOOD

    Had the privilege of watching this as part of KC PUBLIC’S theatre lab series. The audience was engaged and holding their breath in the final scenes. Ryan is an exceptional story teller and I look forward to a fully realized production of this glorious play. There is a lot for actors and technicians to mine in this script for inspiration.

  • Jessie Salsbury: Sock Puppet Fetish Noir

    Kelly has an ability to draw the audience to a new and interesting story in a very short amount of time. The dialogue and topic are snappy and hilarious, and this work would be a great addition to fringe, a festival or 10 minute showcase. Kelly always surprises and this was a delightful journey.

  • Jessie Salsbury: Babel

    Had the joy and honor of seeing this opening night at the Unicorn on 1.25.2020. This is a wonderful, wild play full of tons of surprises. A perfect commentary on society today and how far we go to be in control, and how we deem others as ‘undesirable.’ There’s nothing else like it. Read it and produce it everywhere!!

  • Jessie Salsbury: Dead Behind the Eyes or The Ingenue Play

    I adore this play. The characters are snappy and original, the language and dialogue is fresh, and the story is sharp. Becca Blackmore has a talent of telling us an allegory without beating a dead horse - Becca has given us something new and unexpected. I can't recommend this one enough.

  • Jessie Salsbury: The Final Problem of Sherlock Holmes

    Wow. This starts on a bang and doesn't let up. Tom Stewart gets the language of the original stories and blends us a newly told adventure. I think a cast and crew would have a lot of fun with this - it can be realized with a simple, ever changing set. Beautifully rendered and creatively done. Bravo!

  • Jessie Salsbury: The Irregulars

    My only question is why hasn't this been produced further? I am a Sherlock Holmes junkie and any SH fan will love this work. Imaginative, sharp, and well done, putting the Irregulars on center stage. I absolutely loved this and Reginald Edmund is a fantastic dialogue writer. I won't spoil it, but the sharp and snappy ending - you won't be disappointed!
