  • The Sensational Sisters
    9 Jul. 2020
    An unusual take on superheroes and responsibility from the rarely-seen geriatric point of view. Less dark and gritty, more “been around the block.” The relationship between these two superheroine siblings feels natural and loving, despite their differences.
  • SAME SECTS!
    9 Jul. 2020
    Wow. There are some serious views in this piece that will slap you in the face. Race, sexuality, privilege... and guilt. The dialogue rambles and emotions run high. A fascinating look at extreme leftism in the world of BLM and Grindr. Impactful.
  • The Letter G
    8 Jul. 2020
    An unusual coming-out-late-in-life story that takes some expected and unexpected turns. The juxtaposition of adult themes with the children’s show (and puppets!) makes for a few great acting and design opportunities.
  • Cop To
    8 Jul. 2020
    A horror story for the times we live in. Difficult to read but an important topic, specifically explored in a way that only the theatre can do. The ending will haunt you.
  • Children's Letters To Satan
    8 Jul. 2020
    As twisted as a candy cane! Full of real childhood longing and adult humor that would get you a lump of coal. Busser, dude, you’re a sick puppy. Looking forward to reading more!
  • Normal
    8 Jul. 2020
    An intriguing game of cat and mouse, where the roles flow back and forth. Scary, and a bit dark, but a fun ride through a traumatic situation that could have ended far worse. Unexpected!
  • Comfort [a 1-minute play]
    8 Jul. 2020
    Sweet, sad, and all too real. Rich characters in a longing dance, and in two short pages. Martin squeezes so much depth and feeling out of just a few lines of dialogue. Beautiful.
  • Uncomfortable [a 1-minute monologue]
    8 Jul. 2020
    A single word, repeated, but it speaks volumes. We have all seen them, felt it, wondered what happened, and how. So, so incredibly powerful.
  • UTØYA
    8 Jul. 2020
    Heartbreaking and lyrical, so much tragedy and emotion in just a few words. Haunting.
  • The Dieting of Anne Frank: An Autocorrected Play
    7 Jul. 2020
    Sick, twisted, hilarious!
