  • Wychodzi Na Jaw by Ramsey Uhter
    6 Sep. 2022
    “ I love me a little cult play that makes you go "What?!" With this piece, Ramsey Uhter delivers an immersive experience that is eerie and disjointed in all the best ways. Thanks to some surreal plot devices the lines between reality and the world of the play are blurred, creating some really intriguing moments. I love how bizarre it is, and would absolutely love to see this play performed live. ”
  • Perdita by Nathan Wagner
    25 Feb. 2022
    “ "Silence [may be] the perfectest herald of joy," but it's impossible to stay silent with a play so wonderful. "Perdita" has everything that makes a play worth seeing. Nathan Wagner has crafted a beautiful story about love, loss, and standing up for what is right. He's skillfully created memorable relationships between relatable characters, presented in a piece that's fun and entertaining while also giving centerstage to serious, relevant issues. I count this play among my favorites. If you haven't yet had the pleasure of interacting with it, "make haste" and add it to your reading list. ”
  • The Ashen Crown by Daniel Prillaman
    30 May. 2021
    “ A haunting piece built up by fantastical lore and dialogue that evokes a writing style like that of classical drama...This is "The Ashen Crown."
    Daniel Prillaman invites us into a shadowy world where darkness twists until it envelops the surreal world he has created. Through fully realized female characters, he tells a story of a world where all is not as it seems. It is enough to leave anyone wanting to know more. I enjoyed this play very much. It is both intriguing and terrifying from the moment it starts to the end and beyond. ”
  • A Change of Heart by Madison Sedlor
    30 May. 2021
    “ A lost necklace, a not-so-stealthy heist, and a pet skull named Elbert...?
    Yes, yes, and yes!
    "A Change of Heart" is a delightful comedy that at the heart of it centers an unbreakable female friendship. Madison Sedlor has written a story that is both deeply real and amusing, using strong characters like Christina, who is the ultimate paragon of best friendship.
    I've had the pleasure of getting to direct this play, and it's a treat on-par with a bloomin' onion.
    Whether you choose to read it or lease it for performance, this play is an enjoyable adventure for all. ”
  • It Jungle Out There by John Busser
    30 May. 2021
    “ There's a new lord of the concrete jungle...And he just so happens to be the lord of the actual jungle, Tarzan, himself! In this hilarious comedy, Tarzan attempts to set up a dating profile, but he's still "hung up" on his former love. John Busser has crafted a fun little story, filled with quick-witted dialogue and memorable characters; a piece that's so absurd, you can't help but smile along. ”
