  • Rich Rubin: The German Play

    A premise both ingenious and wacky, brilliantly executed. Laugh-out-loud hilarious! Thank you, Ken Levine!

  • Rich Rubin: Lox and Loaded

    A truly funny two-hander ... a feast of pitch-perfect vaudevillian banter served with a generous helping of heart. Should be an absolute crowd-pleaser!

  • Rich Rubin: Tips for Raising My Daughter

    A four-character, beautifully-crafted work that is clever, compassionate, highly imaginative and deeply moving. Well-deserving of widespread production!

  • Rich Rubin: Rewind

    Comedy with a nifty cosmic twist ... and another welcome gift to us from the endlessly inventive Morey Norkin. A play that makes you laugh, then causes you to contemplate the universe. Thank you, Morey!

  • Rich Rubin: Through Bonavia, or The Simple Truth

    A boldly ambitious -- indeed, monumental! -- tour de force. Breathtaking in concept, delightfully lyrical in execution, it's a thoroughly stunning achievement overall. University theater programs -- and Shakespeare festivals nationwide -- please take note!

  • Rich Rubin: Fantasmaville

    An expansive and thoroughly engrossing play featuring vivid characters and crisp dialogue. Important, inventive, magical, and -- in the end -- life-affirming, it engages your heart and your soul as well as your mind. Would love to see this fully mounted on-stage!

  • Rich Rubin: Can You Hear Me Now?

    The evolution of human communication, hilariously revealed to us in less than ten minutes! Another comedic gem from Morey Norkin. Priceless!

  • Rich Rubin: THE NAMES

    A brilliantly-constructed drama about family, friendship, and the challenge of finding one's moral path amidst the chaos of war. There are multiple narrative threads here -- each fascinating in its own right -- and Paul Lewis has somehow managed to weave them all together to form this remarkable tapestry. Both thematically profound and theatrically spell-binding ... bravo!

  • Rich Rubin: The 19 1/2 Deaths of Dung Beetle-Man

    Wow! An epic, roller-coaster battle between super-hero Dung Beetle-Man and his bullfrog arch-nemesis Amphibia! Wild and wacky and thoroughly electric, in every sense of the word. Thank you, Matthew Weaver!

  • Rich Rubin: The System

    With its terse, razor-sharp dialogue, what's left unsaid in this one-act might be even more germane than what's said. THE SYSTEM may take only several minutes to read, but we're offered lots of meat on the bone here, with plenty to chew on afterwards.
