  • THIS HAPPENED ONCE AT THE ROMANCE DEPOT OFF THE 1-87 IN WESTCHESTER
    24 Nov. 2022
    I have read every single one of Femia's plays, but somehow I think this one is my favorite. This play is absolutely outstanding in every single way. I would kill to see this beautiful and emotional and funny and sweet play about a sex shop staged. The set is just as much a convention of the play as its strong female characters.
  • Cavities
    24 Nov. 2022
    To follow up a play as beautiful as Ivories is a very difficult act to follow when Ivories stands alone so beautifully. Cavities does not require you see or read its sister play, Ivories, and holds its own marvelously. I didn't think it'd be possible for me to love a play that has "strip marbles" as a plot point. I can imagine in a few drafts this play will be as impossibly strong and fulfilling as its knockout first act. This play is going to be something really special and even more horrific.
  • Daxton on the Night Shift at 7/11
    24 Nov. 2022
    This is one of those plays that feels like it should be a movie but also inexplicably belongs on the stage. Both a parody of Scott Pilgrim-esque manic pixie dream girl pop culture films and commentary on the damage it's done to society, Daxton on the Night Shift at 7/11 jumps through time to define womanhood in our century, interrogates the Michael Cera actor archetype, and demands that comedy as a genre in film does better to be less problematic. It punches up and succeeds in every way.
  • the death of a supernova
    24 Nov. 2022
    I saw a college production of The Death of a Supernova last week, and it was absolutely marvelous. Riley's writing tends to focus on choosing to be oneself even when the world around you demands you do not, and it is packed in a punch with this beautiful short story about a rock star's life told in rewind.
  • Backwards Forwards Back
    24 Nov. 2022
    I love any plays that so thoughtfully and craftily depict post-traumatic stress disorder. This tightly woven docudrama is absolutely soul wrenching. There were moments my heart lurched as I read through the pages. brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
