  • Rich Rubin: Notes (a monologue)

    Truly amazing what Lindsay Partain was able to achieve in just a single page -- a profound sense of not only a character but also a relationship. Spare and impactful, every word used for maximal effect. Simply brilliant.

  • Rich Rubin: Bonus

    A smartly-crafted ten-minute play with both a strong message and great comic dialogue. A total hoot, and very worthy of widespread production!

  • Rich Rubin: Playing the Assassin

    A taut, gripping two-hander about sports, masculinity and so much more. Crackling dialogue, escalating tension, deserves to widely produced. Exceptional!

  • Rich Rubin: PARTNER OF —

    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.
