The vampire genre can be generic and recycled, but John Mabey is able to craft a dark comedy that is fresh, funny, and smart. There are so many great layers and a beautiful sense of juxtaposition about how why we choose to be the relationships we are in. LOVE SUCKS is delicious good time!

This is an inventive farce that runs on all cylinders! It’s fun, witty, and incredibly imaginative. Loved the pacing and the incredibly wacky characters! Great fun!

This is a beautifully crafted short play with heart, honesty, and humor. This play captures the essence of nostalgia and the spirit of the past. Even if memories are painful, the past molds us into who we are and who we hope to be. We adapt, but our heart will long for the fond memories of the past.

Morey Norkin hits gold with GOLD PAINT! The nature of the play is quite prophetic and heavy, but it's the approach that Norkin takes that makes this play a true gem. This is a wonderful play for a small ensemble of actors with dynamic range. Great dialogue, even greater characters, and a truly fascinating premise!

Tom Erb’s A RAINY NIGHT IN HOLLYWOOD exudes the essence of old Hollywood in this dramatic journey of events. It’s bold, smart, and beautifully crafted.

A fun and highly imaginative romp that is wonderfully paced, engaging, and a complete blast of fun. Ian Donley drives this play with skill and undeniable confidence.

Michelle Clarke's DON'T MOVE is captivating and dramatically rich. The play is structured beautifully allowing for those surprises to land perfectly with an audience. A compelling and honest piece of theatre!

Peter Fenton's CORONATION offers a modernized take on the teen comedy of the early 2000s that will surprise and delight audiences. Fenton skillfully uses the common tropes of a teen comedy and makes them his own with this realistic dynamic of high school drama. A perfect show for teen actors!

Leah Plante-Wiener’s PROCESS PLAY is original, funny, real (too real) and smart. The dialogue has a wonderful flow that is rapid fire but the audience will never miss a beat of the action. This is a must read for playwrights and theatre makers everywhere!

“WOW!” Is what I exclaimed when I finished reading this! The comedy is so irreverent and Radtke takes those moments to let you laugh even though it might seem uncomfortable, that’s the whole point and what makes this piece a gem! I loved the way the play unfolds. The reveals are very nicely developed and executed. Would LOVE to this staged!
