“
What a creative concept for a play: personifying the hypothetical situations and conversations Ella imagines...genius. GLASS SLIPPER, SIZE 8 1/2 is so silly and so creative. ”

- Clyt; or, The Bathtub Play by11 Jul. 2023“ I have chills. AHHH!
As someone who's always rooted for Clytemnestra, this piece is something I needed to read. Elisabeth Giffin Speckman puts The Oresteia into modern perspective and finally lets the women have a say. And in the end, it's femininity that gives our queen the final word.
I am in love with the experimental structure and the artistic ambiguity that provides so much space for actors, directors, and designers to play.
What a powerful piece. If I ever got the chance to see or work on this play, it would be an honor.
Love it! ” - The Frontier Casino by29 Jun. 2023“ Uncanny. Bittersweet. Important.
In a world of rapidly increasing technical advances, especially with the current writer's strike and the rise of AI, this play is an important look at the dangers of a future built on corporate greed. The story of Angel and Bud is a cautionary tale, but Kenney also offers hope in the idea of empathy and humanity.
Also, the thought of stars as "angelic bullet holes" is so interesting and I will be thinking about that for a long time. So good! ” - THE RIGHT WHALE by29 Jun. 2023“ On their Whale Watching cruise, two partners make it a day to remember. Emotions run high, surprises are shared, lunches are lost, and in the end the true miracle is the love we have for one another.
When I tell you I cried the first time I read this play... It's so well-written, sweet, funny, and chock full of whale trivia... sorry, ~facts~ about the conditions of a species that needs to be protected. THE RIGHT WHALE is the right play for your next festival or season! ” - Hashtag Jones (short) by29 Jun. 2023“ This piece is a powerful representation of the ways twists facts into lies and narratives to make points instead of listening to the truth and preventing tragedy from happening again. HASHTAG JONES is an important piece that everyone should read. ”
- 19 Excellent Reasons to Date Matthew Weaver (a monologue) by29 Jun. 2023“ I'm screaming. What starts out as a silly, tongue-in-cheek monologue about rizz, evolves into a profound testament to unconditional love for oneself and the world around them; a lesson in consent; a poem about the people we love and why we love them; a healing journey; an invitation. New audition monologue alert(?) I'm a fan.
” - The Happy Incident on Aisle 5 of the Delicioso Food Market & Deli at 11:47 P.M., or, In Passing [a 1-minute play] by29 Jun. 2023“ This play was just so joyful! Such a good vibe. Martin's three characters make me want to go out and romanticize life. This is why people love the theatre. ”
- James of Nazareth by29 Jun. 2023“ This play. This piece is so human and beautiful and bittersweet. Just reading it, I could picture the whole thing in my mind. It's just such good writing. By giving us James' point of view, Feriend has given us a glimpse into the family drama surrounding the New Testament's main character. The familial relationships between these characters are so strong. It was sweet and sad and funny and inspiring all at the same time. I want to see this play onstage (or film) so badly. Someone please produce JAMES OF NAZARETH!!!! ”
- Off Center by29 Jun. 2023“ This is a piece of art.
Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn's beautiful characters have pointed to the light peeking out of the darkness, highlighting a meaning to everything. When I tell you I literally cried reading this play... love it! ” - happiness (and other reasons to die) by29 Jun. 2023“ Wow!! Bartlett has crafted a story of a found family brought together by a force beyond the grave they claim to long for. These characters were very human in a way that made me invested in their lives and beyond. I couldn't look away from this script. ”
