    A gay stoner hangout comedy. As a writer of gay hangout comedies, we need more gay hangout comedies.

    Eric's New York is a fantasy city: not the one you or I live in but the one that Lou Reed sings about, Ginsberg writes about, that Hopper paints from. His downtown is not populated by cocaine fascists, but the platonic ideal of indie sleaze dreamers. In Lola's movie, the dream is alive, and the Dreamer is drowning. A fantastic all-encompassing role for a woman who's almost 4-dimensional, almost too big for the play she's in, comparable to Hedda, Martha, Arkadina. Don't skip this one.

    Daywork cracks me up. Eric takes his shot as the Woody Allen of Bushwood: writing a tender theatrical comedy with just enough pain to break your heart.

    Has that quality most of my favorite plays do: draws me in closer and closer without ever fully revealing itself, then shuts the door just as you get a glimpse. Fantastic characters too

    A great complicated play about real shit. No pulled punched. No easy answers. Not happy endings. Recommend.

    A hilarious, tense, cringe-inducing thriller — and I don't take genre theatre lightly. Sci Fi in that it takes place, like, five years from now. The internet of things – not things-in-themself, things in your fucking house. A great play. And boy, does it have robofucking. Atona's monologue is one of my favorite pieces of writing I've found this year. And right before, some good advice for these upcoming times. "Whenever you want guidance, forget it."

    Good luck everybody.
