I loved Miguel and Cristobal's dynamic, and the way that their neurodivergent experience enables them to support each other, even when their shared foe is whisper-growing sour somethings in their ear. ”

“ A play as rich with history as it is with nuance, Carefully Taught examines the ways in which life’s challenges can sow seeds of resentment and prejudice in even the most loving plots. You feel for Bruce Karp’s characters, even as you may disagree with their choices. Relationships are well drawn and characters are well defined, adding up to create an excellent one-act play. ”

“ Don't Scream is an excellently humorous and surprising play that would be a pleasure for any pair of actors to dig into. Rachel Feeny-Williams pits two temperamentally opposite characters against each other in a scenario that could easily turn sour, but she navigates them through a conversation that bound to get audiences giggling--and closes the play out on a tantalizing, refreshing note. ”

“ What a set up, and what marvelous execution! In Incoming Male, Bruce Karp gives his characters a chance to revisit their uncomfortable shared past, and affords them--one of them, at least--a chance for catharsis. You can feel the discomfort, the resentment give way as the balance of power shifts, leading to a satisfyingly biting conclusion. ”
