  • Greg Romero: The Thought Doesn't Count by Emily Hageman
    “

    I saw a reading of this play at the 2018 Midwest Dramatists Conference and was so impressed and moved by it. The play is painful, beautiful, funny, full of truth. Hageman creates living, breathing characters going through a crisis, artfully giving them both space and intimacy, and it just all felt very real. Really lovely work.

  • Greg Romero: PARTNER OF — by Rachael Carnes
    “

    I feel so lucky to have seen a reading of this play at the 2018 Midwest Dramatists Conference. Upon the first few lines, I was excited immediately by the activeness of Carnes' language and her ability to tell stories through temporal, geographical, and architectural space. There is so much exquisite attention to detail, yet the play is also emotionally powerful and painful and deeply alive. This is a play with important stories that works beautifully in multiple layers and on multiple planes. I was personally transported to multiple places while watching.

  • Greg Romero: Ugly Baby, Stupid Baby by Tamar Shai Bolkvadze

    I feel so fortunate to have seen a reading of this play at the Last Frontier Theater Conference in 2017. Shai's writing is intelligent and layered and deeply human. Her characters here are complicated but accessible, and the play's dangerous environment and real-time action are theatrically very satisfying.

  • Greg Romero: A Little Piece Of You by Jan Rosenberg
    “

    When I read this play I was so impressed and excited by Jan Rosenberg's writing. This play has so many fun surprises, so many theatrical moments, so much enjoyable darkness. Her characters and her environment (another character) are so alive, free, living, breathing, bleeding, scary, funny, smelly, tragic, heart-breaking. This play is wild-animal good.

  • Greg Romero: Pardon My Invasion by Joy Cutler
    “

    Pardon My Invasion is easily one of my favorite plays I experienced during the eight years I lived in Philadelphia. Sincerely, darkly, funny, and with some excellent surprises, the play is fresh, imaginative, and has four outstanding roles for women.
