  • Murder Runs in Our Family
    21 Nov. 2022
    Fascinating, witty, and engaging. This is a unique, clever, and approachable take on the classic "Electra" the likes of which I've not encountered before. I'm a fan of "Electra" and also of this piece. Excellent work!
  • Confessions of the Big Bad Wolf (10 Minute play)
    21 Nov. 2022
    I love a good insight into the inner lives of the classic "bad guy," and Confessions of the Big Bad Wolf more than delivers. It provides two strong roles for actors to sink their teeth into, so to speak, and a darkly funny but fun-for-all-ages approach to a familiar story that would be an excellent addition to any fairy tale themed showcase. An excellent read from playwright Marcia Eppich-Harris!
  • The Courtesy Call of C'Thulhu
    21 Nov. 2022
    Darkly, laugh-out-loud funny and engaging from beginning to end. John Busser has created an utterly hilarious piece that is a treat for those familiar with the legend of C'Thulhu, and still approachable and enjoyable for those who are not. A truly excellent piece!
  • Narcissa, Narcissa
    21 Nov. 2022
    A stunningly written, thoughtfully crafted story of healing, self-love, and allowing other people in. Aly Kantor has created a piece that works incredibly well both on a physical stage and virtually, and that's no easy feet. The uniqueness of the approach to this adaptation of the Narcissus myth is a wonderful bonus. Highly recommended. Great work!
  • Nonsense and Beauty
    13 Sep. 2022
    I had the pleasure of seeing “Nonsense and Beauty” performed at Theatre22 in Seattle. It’s a gorgeous and bittersweet play with a lot of depth and passion that inspired me to want to learn more about the real stories behind the script. The dialogue and text are meticulously considered, with equal parts humor and heart. This is a story that should be heard around the world. Wholeheartedly recommended; playwright Scott Sickles has truly given us something stellar with this gem of a show.
  • Just Breathe
    5 Sep. 2022
    “How do I explain to him that the past lives within me?” Such a piece as ‘Just Breathe’ — one that finds strength both in embracing vulnerability and in taking your own power back (however that crystallizes!) — is a rare gem, and Dana Hall tells the character’s story in a way that is raw and relatable. This is a message and story that we don’t hear enough especially in this way, one that is worth amplifying around the world, and I would love to see this breathtaking monologue performed.
  • The Birds Are Feeding Me
    5 Sep. 2022
    Bright, brilliant, memorable and relatable. I truly enjoyed “The Birds are Feeding Me,” and all the characters felt like people I’d met before as an apartment dweller and human. I would love to see this piece performed, and think it could be very well suited to either digital or ”live” staging. Excellent work by playwright Rex McGregor!
  • Miss Treatment
    3 Sep. 2022
    Miss Treatment is quietly but powerfully haunting, raw and unexpected from start to end. This thoughtful, unusual play is going to leave me thinking for a long time. Well done!
  • Miss Diagnosed
    3 Sep. 2022
    As an autistic person who didn’t get formally diagnosed until the age of 25, this play was cathartic to read and strongly hit home. The message is powerful and the scenario feels real, the characters realistic, which adds to its effectiveness. I would love to see this play performed someday; playwright Kyle Smith has achieved something remarkable and well worth producing to a wide audience.
  • Rotted
    3 Sep. 2022
    “Rotted” takes a unique and thoughtful look at the concept of a zombie apocalypse in a way that feels more accessible than many similar stories. It’s got some great laughs, but also inspires reflection about the world and our role in it— so much packed into a few pages! Would be a very fun challenge for a production team; I’d love to see this one produced.
