    “ I had the pleasure and privilege of viewing a recent Zoom performance of this powerful and thought-provoking play. It's a revelatory slice of American history, with three great roles for female actors of color. ”

  • The Tale of the User Agreement by Lolly Ward
    1 Oct. 2020
    “ This clever 10-minute play turns a familiar fairy tale upside down and inside out, combining sly humor, a hint of menace and a surprisingly happy ending. Enjoy! ”
  • WINDBERRY CREEK by Rachael Carnes
    16 Jul. 2020
    “ An engrossing exploration of complex family dynamics, told with incredible insight, humor and humanity.
    There are no false notes here, just glorious writing and an emotional honesty that cuts to the bone. Highly recommended! ”
  • YONCALLA by Rachael Carnes
    23 Jan. 2020
    “ An extremely smart, theatrical and important play, thrilling on multiple levels. YONCALLA looks back at history, but also speaks with the urgency of today. The writing is stellar throughout, with dialogue that consistently crackles and monologues that are poetic and often profound. Hopefully, YONCALLA will be widely produced, both in Oregon (OSF, please take a look!) and beyond. ”
  • Near Nellie Bly by Mark Loewenstern
    16 Sep. 2019
    “ A bold and thrilling work of theater -- multilayered, cinematic and extremely powerful. In addition to presenting the fascinating, nineteenth century story of Anne Neville and Nellie Bly, the play's time-shifting structure touches on both the distant past and the distant future. It's a wild ride, but we know from the start that we're in the hands of a master playwright. Highly recommended! ”
  • Ossietzky - A Peace Play by Zac Hoogendyk
    11 Sep. 2019
    “ A profound and thrilling play about a fascinating historical figure whose name is today unrecognized by most of us. In the hands of a less talented writer, this easily could have been a well-intentioned but overly preachy biopic. Instead, it's powerfully alive and totally compelling from start to finish, with crackling dialogue and ingenious theatricality. Highly recommended! ”
  • The Great God of the Dark Storm Cloud by Josie Seid
    9 Feb. 2019
    “ A uniquely imaginative retelling of the Hecuba tale, set in modern-day New Orleans. The writing is both powerful and poetic, and the stunning conclusion leaves one breathless at the end. ”
  • THE DELAYS by Sara Jean Accuardi
    9 Feb. 2019
    “ An exquisitely crafted play about the wondrous complexity of human relationships, set in an airport gift shop over a span of twenty years. The Delays is both funny and poignant, and stays with you long after the final bows. ”
  • Mate: The Untouchable Bobby Fischer by Lolly Ward
    23 Nov. 2018
    “ A brilliant exploration of a strange and intriguing figure, the iconic Bobby Fischer. Imaginative, touching, funny, and beautifully crafted from first page to last. ”
