  • GUILTY by Monica Cross
    3 Feb. 2022
    “ Ooh, this play is just the right mix of sweet and sinful!

    GUILTY may be a teasing morsel of a play in length, but it plays with one's expectations of what it means to have a guilty pleasure in a way that is bound to be a hit with audiences and readers alike. Whether you're a Sandra or some shade of Kim, there's plenty to feast upon in this piece. Excellent work! ”
  • Field Trip by Daniel Prillaman
    3 Feb. 2022
    “ What an uplifting and hilarious treat of a play! Even to a reader (or presumably, an audience member) unfamiliar with BLACK, WHITE, & RED ALL OVER, FIELD TRIP is immediately accessible, owing much to Prillaman's effortless character writing and the built-in fun factor of animals getting into hijinx.

    There's a lot to love here, from Terrence and Millie's budding romance, to Ling-Ling's inability to keep quiet while evading capture. I'm eager to see more from these characters, and from Prillaman himself! This is one playwright to watch. ”
  • Ryan's Pub, Trivia Night by Alec Silberblatt
    26 Jan. 2022
    “ I LOVE this play! Ryan's Pub Monday Trivia Night is a hugely entertaining read, and a lot of that comes down to Alec's masterful grasp of dialect and dialogue. His characters feel unique yet familiar, but the story they have to tell is anything but. There are twists and turns aplenty in this play that at first feels like two acquaintances filling you in on an interesting anecdote, but which soon evolves into something much more high-stakes and engaging. Excellent from start to finish! ”
  • Camp Mannuppia: An Alt-Masc Comedy by John Bavoso
    8 Jan. 2022
    “ When I first learned of the premise for this play, I was immediately delighted - "A mid 2000s, queer take on much beloved summer camp comedies of my youth? Sign me up!" - and reading John's writing only confirmed my early impressions. Camp Mannuppia is a joy to read, thanks in large part to its smart character writing and compassionate take on growing up queer - or just non-masc - in a world that frequently demands differently of you. It is hilarious and heartfelt and I would be delighted to see an actual summer camp's take on it. Excellent work! ”
