  • Steven Strafford: Monica: This Play Is Not About Monica Lewinsky by Dianne Nora
    “

    Through tight and often very funny dialogue, Monica is a play I wanted to stay in for as long as possible. To explore feminism through the prism of the most intimate moments shared...it makes for an exciting read. I really hope I get to see this play up on its feet one day. It's a tremendous read, and I'm sure would be a tremendous production.

  • Steven Strafford: You Have Earned Bonus Stars by Vince Gatton

    I think what I love most about this play is its arguments for the complexity of each of us. Equal parts drama and comedy, I found myself gripped by the plot and moved by the characters. As an actor, I would love to get to say words like these, so full of humor and heart in the face of deep external and internal conflict. This is the sort of play that theatre-going audiences could find themselves, asking where they fall on the continuum of good and evil.

  • Steven Strafford: BUZZ by Susan Ferrara
    “

    Susan Ferrara's play shows what happens when you balance respect for form and respect for breaking form in equal measure. Telling a story that deserves telling, Buzz should be performed in every theater across the country because it holds the very institution of theater to task for what it has been, and more importantly, what it could and should be.
