    “ Timely and touching,this play is a must read if you are looking for a solid work that speaks to the aftermath of war and the US policies surrounding gender identity in the military. Plus its a damn good story. Have a look!

  • The Thrush & The Woodpecker by Steve Yockey
    5 Jun. 2016
    “ A chilling story of love and betrayal told with great mystery, tension, and surprise. A great play for two wonderful female actors and a young man. Have a read - it will keep you guessing! ”
  • INTO THE BEAUTIFUL NORTH by Karen Zacarias
    25 May. 2016
    “ A beautiful adaptation of this sweeping novel, with characters that you just can't wait to see win. The story moves, like the three adventurers, across the country with a bright sweeping determination and a passion for what is right and what should be, with a little bit of misty-eyed eagerness and a few lessons to be learned. It's funny, sweet, and charming, with enough danger and misfortune to keep you on the edge of your seat and cheering for these folks dreams of love and empowerment to come true. Give it a read - you won't want it to end. ”
  • Not Medea by Allison Gregory
    25 May. 2016
    “ Just saw the NNPN Rolling World Premiere of this at B Street Theatre in Sacramento. What a role for a great actress! The audience was taken of a roller coaster of a ride, enjoying the laughs and gasping with horror when they realized where the play was going. A definite keeper, and a great play for a theater with strong actors looking for interesting characters and a taut tale of love and loss. ”
  • The Talented Ones by Yussef El Guindi
    25 May. 2016
    “ It's funny and frightening, the way love and lust come together to reveal the cracks in personalities. When you mix desire with disappointment there are bound to be explosive consequences, and this play brings those to a very dark, very real, and very funny evening of twists, taunts, and trials. Looking forward to a production! ”
  • The Revolutionists by Lauren Gunderson
    25 May. 2016
    “ So great! The usual Lauren Gunderson smart, funny, witty world, this time populated by women from history that you may or may not know. Regardless you will love them and want to learn more. Somebody produce it again, 'casue I wanna see it!!

  • World Builders by Johnna Adams
    5 Aug. 2015
    “ A truly wonderful play by a truly gifted writer. The production at Contemporary American Theatre Festival was funny, touching, and uplifting. You are drawn into the world of these characters, and into the worlds they have created, and fall in love with them as they fall in love with each other. Two quirky, charming, heart-breaking, heart-warming stories are woven into one great piece of theater. Easy to produce, great for two wonderful actors, and a treat for an audience. ”
  • On Clover Road by Steven Dietz
    4 Aug. 2015
    “ OH WOW! I loved watching a packed house squirm, laugh, cringe, and audibly gasp as this tight thriller unfolds with more twists than a Twizzler. If you want to take your audience on a theatrical roller coaster that provides them with devastatingly complex characters, a situation that never ceases changing, and a sharp, smart look into the eye of the basics of humanity: belief and doubt and possession and obsession ON CLOVER ROAD should lmove to the top of our reading list. ”
  • Dontrell, Who Kissed the Sea by Nathan Alan Davis
    18 May. 2015
    “ Beautiful script. Nathan has an amazing mastery of language, of rhythm, and of visual imagery, and it's brought together in a story that is both surprising and timeless. I've seen two NNPN Rolling World Premiere productions now, and would love to see more. And I can't wait to see what he writes next, ”
  • The Mage Knights of Eternal Light by Amanda Zeitler
    18 May. 2015
    “ I got the chance to see a student production of this and had a great time. The fantasy work is really fun, and the themes universal and yet freshly presented. It's definitely not just for kids - there's plenty of great stuff in here for everyone! ”
