  • 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. ”

    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. ”
