  • Burst by Rachel Bublitz
    15 Oct. 2018
    “ I directed a reading of this play for Salt Lake Acting Company's New Play Sounding Series. It was a joy to work with Rachel on this fast-paced, multi-faceted, smart, and funny piece that tackles environmental issues, the tech industry, and the complexity of women in positions of power. It's a play that asks you to grapple with your own definitions of feminism and morality. It made our audience laugh and gasp, and it sparked a super engaging post-play discussion. Fast, one-scene play with three terrific roles for women. ”
  • Death of a Driver by Will Snider
    13 Sep. 2018
    “ This is a play that makes you debate your own opinions, your own political stances, and your own sense of right and wrong. The two characters are so smart, charismatic, and passionate, it's difficult to know on whose side you fall at any given time. A brilliantly crafted, muscular script with exciting production possibilities. ”

  • Watch Me Jump by Jeremy Gable
    13 Sep. 2018
    “ WATCH ME JUMP is a fast-paced, smart, and complex look into the world of a professional female athlete. This play challenges stereotypes and tackles a host of issues without feeling like an "issue play." Finalist for the 2018 Theatre Grant offered through the David Ross Fetzer Foundation for Emerging Artists and Salt Lake Acting Company. ”
  • form of a girl unknown by Charly Evon Simpson
    13 Sep. 2018
    “ FORM OF A GIRL UNKNOWN was the winner of the David Ross Fetzer Foundation for Emerging Artists 2018 Theatre Grant in partnership with Salt Lake Acting Company. It is a coming of age story that captures the uncertainty, power, mysticism, and magic of a girl's journey to womanhood. Charly's writing is poetic without being precious. Her characters Amali, Finn, and Marina embody nuanced and complex pre-teens. The theatricality of the woods is filled with possibility. The audience that attended our reading was captivated by the story and, afterward, engaged in a long, thoughtful post-play discussion. ”
  • No One Is Forgotten by winter miller
    13 Dec. 2017
    “ A gripping 85 minute play that is as challenging and exciting to perform/watch as it is simple to produce. Winter has created a compelling, funny, and absolutely heart-wrenching play that examines the complexity of human intimacy through the brutal lens of captivity. The dialogue is sharp and clever, the characters witty, vulnerable, and complex. This play will move you. ”

It was a joy to work on as director, and Steve is the ultimate collaborator. This play generated some of the best audience feedback we've ever received; they were thrilled and delighted and horrified in all the best ways. MERCURY is a bloody treat! ”
  • LAURA AND THE SEA by Kate Tarker
    5 Dec. 2016
    “ LAURA AND THE SEA is the funniest sad play I have ever read. Kate has created such a quirky yet relatable world in this script that is ripe with theatrical possibility. Worlds and realities blend and overlap. The characters are charming and flawed and lovable. We developed this play in our 2016 SLAC Lab and also presented a reading of it in our New Play Sounding Series. The discussion that followed the reading was one of our best; the audience was completely taken with the story, and charmed and challenged by the world of the play. ”
  • Synchronicity by Brynne Frauenhoffer
    7 Jun. 2016
    “ SYNCHRONICITY is the winner of the 2016 Salt Lake Acting Company/David Ross Fetzer Foundation for Emerging Artists grant. It is a beautiful and haunting story about trying to make sense of life's inexplicable circumstances. Brynne has an insightful understanding of anxiety, grief, and healing that comes through powerfully in this script. Great, meaty roles for young actresses and full of theatrical possibility. ”
  • Passing Time in Animal Town by Ryan Oliveira
    7 Jun. 2016
    “ PASSING TIME IN ANIMAL TOWN was a finalist for the 2016 Salt Lake Acting Company/David Ross Fetzer Foundation for Emerging Artists grant. It is a highly imaginative and conceptual play about the way we help and relate to each other in this modern age of online communities. The script presents exciting challenges in creating a virtual world on stage. ”
