  • Oh, No! I Flew Too Close to the Sun! by Rand Higbee
    1 Nov. 2018
    “ I have now seen two readings of this play, by wildly different casts, and this play kills. Hysterically funny dry wit. Please produce this one in your theatre, and let me know so I can come see it. ”
  • Help! I'm Trapped in a Monologue Written by Matthew Weaver! by Matthew Weaver
    22 Oct. 2018
    “ Funny, self-reflective, original... yes, it's a meta piece about monologue performance - and it's a very, very good one. This would be a worthy addition to any evening of short works. ”
  • World Builders by Johnna Adams
    19 Oct. 2018
    “ Haunting, captivating, and fiercely original; this is an intricate mind-puzzle of a mental journey between these two characters. It is like a shared dream, and by the end of it, you are dreaming with them. ”
  • You Are The Blood by Ashley Rose Wellman
    26 Aug. 2018
    “ Stunning in its ability to take the audience on a journey at once utterly unfamiliar and yet deeply resonant. We recognize the shared humanity of people living lives we can barely imagine... a tour de force. Ashley Rose Wellman has a knack for finding the extremes and presenting them so simply, so true to life, that we find ourselves swept along, quietly nodding: Well, of course that's what it's like to grow up as the child of a convicted serial killer. How else could it be? This is an amazing play. ”
  • A Lady Who Collects Spiders Meets A Gentleman Who Collects Snakes by John Weagly
    4 Jul. 2018
    “ Fun and silly - while written for adults, I could see this one working really well for a school production. It has a sweet message about "different" people finding and accepting each other. ”
  • IN TRAINING by Rachael Carnes
    4 Jul. 2018
    “ Intriguing - engaging. More fun than reaching into a bag of snakes in the dark - which might become a new metaphor for the workplace. A lovely play that will get the audience squirming. Or wriggling. ”
  • Clothes-Minded by Andy Rassler
    2 May. 2018
    “ Funny, highly original - a great show for TYA or kids, with a large, expandable cast that would give something for every actor to do, even if you have shyer kids that may not want lines. Plus, it a sweet message of inclusion that even the younger set should get. ”
  • While We Wait by Charly Evon Simpson
    2 May. 2018
    “ Fascinating, haunting - an unconventional exploration of the limbo period so many relationships go through between breaking up and getting back together. Simpson might class it as a comedy - and it is funny - but there's enough subtext to impress Pinter, and a lead role any actor would be glad to have on her resume. This is a comedy with depth. ”
  • The Ring by Diana Burbano
    25 Apr. 2018
    “ A beautiful, touching, diamond-sharp play. It is not easy to capture a lifetime of loss - and the loss of a life - in a ten minute play. The RIng does just that, and I have tears in my eyes after reading it. ”
  • TEACH by Donna Hoke
    13 Apr. 2018
    “ I saw the Wordsmyth reading in Houston - and I strongly recommend that any theatre - or university - looking for a nuanced, emotionally engaging, theatrically daring and utterly original take on student/mentor relationships look at this one. The multiple gendered portrayal of the teacher and the student is no mere gimmick - it is an astounding theatrical leap. This is a play written without pronouns - a technical feat of playwriting used to great effect, and one that will open a whole new conversation with your audience, ”
