  • Ian Donley: Can't Be a Good Girl, Mama

    This queer heartthrob of a play has the perfect mix of theatricality, humor, and romance that will put a smile on the faces of those who will feel seen through these well-written characters.

  • Ian Donley: TRUE UNTO DEATH - full-length family tragedy based on actual events

    Tom Erb manages to write a simplistic love story while infusing rich historical context which, without making it obvious, sets up the ending (yet still making it feel like a slap in the face of a reality check in the best way possible).

  • Ian Donley: The Extension

    The wordplay in this piece is impressive, giving off this "cat and mouse" vibe in the story yet you aren't always sure who is who (which makes for a captivating play).

  • Ian Donley: Clare

    "Clare" is not only a historical fiction piece, but a drama about what happens when a line of work built on reputation is questioned. The dynamics between these characters are ever-changing and fascinating to see progress.

  • Ian Donley: Hearts of Brothers' Temper

    This play is the perfect example of historical events can serve as an educational and entertaining play. The parallels between 1800s America and Julius Caesar are fascinating and provocative. Megan Fraedrich fuses them together with such precision that it almost becomes uncanny. Great work!

  • Ian Donley: Monster Girl

    This play is a tragedy disguised as a fantasy, making the action of the play captivating. Dan Taube is able to creatively explore while keeping this play's monster (trauma) bubbling underneath the surface. Well-done!

  • Ian Donley: Doughnut Disturb

    This play is sweet and delectable (no pun intended) with plenty of opportunity for two great actors to devour.

  • Ian Donley: The Black Angel

    "The Black Angel" is a fun take on how tempting fate can come back to bite you. This would go really well as part of a Halloween short play festival.

  • Ian Donley: Pillow Talk

    This dark comedy is a reminder of how little we know about each other (and our violent tendencies). Brenton Kniess sets up the play with delicacy only to have the twist slap us in the face.

  • Ian Donley: CROSSING THE LINE

    This campy delight will have audiences entertained from beginning to end!
