  • Michele Clarke: Dragonflies

    Exceptional! A perfect opener for a night of summer camp shorts. And closer for a night of macabre shorts. About two-thirds of the way through you'll rush back to the beginning and re-read it to find all the clues you missed. A powerful ending with meaty opportunities throughout for actors and director.

  • Michele Clarke: everyone in new york is beautiful

    Flynn nails 20-something Brooklyn. This is an amazing piece of work. The characters are exceptionally well drawn-- from the archetypes to the incredibly vivid descriptions to the overwhelming subtext of age-and-stage angst (complete with casual vulgarity). The writing is electric. The dialogue, dense. And there's a mother of a monologue that few will have the courage to use in audition. The last scene will break your heart - right before it melts it. This 2024 O'Neill semi-finalist is well worth your time.

  • Michele Clarke: The Cons

    Alaina Tennant has found a great - and important - story to tell. The way she draws each character - especially her command of the dialect(s) is especially strong. Audiences will enjoy THE CONS.

  • Michele Clarke: OEUF

    It's a real gift to be able to use humor to broach life's heaviest subjects. Annie Fox does just that with OEUF. I was all-in on this poignant and whimsical wager.

  • Michele Clarke: Poetica

    Am I the only one who wants to see this little diamond sparkle as a denouement for a larger piece? I wanna see what happened to make Jordan hand Flannery this glass of wine. :)

  • Michele Clarke: SNOW WHITE PADDED ROOM

    Riveting. This mile-a-minute psychological thriller has it all -- great writing, modern characters, thoughtful staging, and a dramatic question that won't quit.
