  • Choices: A Ten-Minute Play by James McLindon
    25 Jan. 2022
    “ Is it the quality of life that matters, or the length of it? Humorous, dark, and utterly timely, this play taps into the existential crisis that exists within anyone aware of the state of the world today. A perfect question that has no perfect answer. Totally captivating. ”
  • Deer Island by Brian David Walker
    27 Apr. 2021
    “ An achingly beautiful and haunting script, this play is unlike anything I've seen in the theatre. Filled with engaging, complicated characters, this play vacillates seamlessly between laugh out loud funny, heartbreaking, and straight up spooky. A thrilling ride from start to finish! ”
  • Not Really (Little Star) by Toby Malone
    27 Apr. 2021
    “ A beautifully messy capture of the things we never talk about, "Not Really (Little Star)" is a heartbreakingly truthful expression of a father's navigation of grief (and non-grief) and guilt. This play perfectly depicts the messiness of being a parent, an almost-parent, and a spouse, and the fear of never quite measuring up in all of those areas. Wonderfully relatable and achingly human. ”

    25 Apr. 2021
    “ This play is so beautiful and so visceral. The perfect encapsulation of what we've all been feeling in the year 2020-2021 and the things we never knew we longed for. It's a short read but oh so worth it: it gave me goosebumps. ”
  • OL' JACK by John Kelly
    25 Apr. 2021
    “ Those of us who have worked in the service industry are all too familiar with the idea of wondering about the lives of the regulars that come in. In "Ol' Jack" John Kelly has written a sweet and understated glimpse into what we gain when we dare to venture a look under the surface. ”
  • She Tunes the Violin: The Life of Martha Jefferson by Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend
    22 Apr. 2021
    “ This play is hands down the best historical fiction play I've ever read. Lisa is able to find the essence of famous figures in a way that is true to who they were and relatable to a contemporary audience. Highlighting the fact that women are often forgotten in matters of history, this play is a beautiful exploration of the woman behind the man: it is poignant, captivating, and often laugh out loud funny. ”
