A fast-paced, expertly crafted, gut-punch of a play. Thrilling and highly theatrical, with enticing roles for three young actors. Extremely worthy of wide-spread production!

An electrifying drama that somehow manages to combine gritty realism with magical theatricality, and make it all fit together perfectly. Features a collection of characters lovingly depicted in all their messy humanity, including their foibles and flaws, all their hopes and dashed dreams. The dialogue is dazzling throughout, and the strategically-placed monologues consistently hit home with their power and their poetry. Extremely worthy of wide-spread production. Bravo!

A very sly and funny satire about 1) art, 2) education in general, 3) arts education in particular, and 4) every committee you've ever been a member of. Smart premise, brilliantly executed ... bravo!

A boldly original work that brilliantly fuses laugh-out-loud comedy with heart-wrenching pathos. Rich Orloff treats all of his characters with deep compassion and the utmost respect. We're amused by their foibles, but they're rendered with such loving specificity that we never lose sight of their struggles and their humanity. JENNIFER'S BIRTH is a real treat for theater-lovers old, young and every age in-between. Thank you, Rich Orloff!

A deliciously clever 10-minute comedy that will delight actors ... as well as audiences! Bravo!

A masterfully crafted drama that resonates on multiple levels -- the sublimity of art, the necessity to fashion an identity distinct from that of our parents, the impact of childhood events on adult choices and relationships. Insightful, compassionate and beautifully expressed.

A bold and fascinating tour-de-force, as illuminating as it is entertaining. Would love to see this fully staged.
Bravo!

A fascinating slice of literary (and theater) history, featuring a trio of colorful characters and line after line of on-point, witty dialogue. A play set in America's past with obvious relevance to America's present (and maybe America's future). Bravo, Mark Saunders!

A play (with karaoke!) that's often flat-out hilarious, but also has lots to say about the nature of friendship, the state of the economy, and the things we long for when we dream about the future. Smart, fast-paced and outrageously entertaining!

An absolutely riveting drama about the tangled web of family, and the profound level of harm often inflicted by those who are closest to us. Jennifer O'Grady takes us on a narrative ride that provides surprises at every turn, yet -- by the end -- makes total sense. Brilliant!
