“ I felt like this play had been written specifically for me. I’m very interested in the unusual and little-known history of Oklahoma, and the play illuminates that in a powerfully personal way. A novelist’s serious and profound struggle contextualizing his own past is offset by hilarious glimpses of the charitable foundation world. The strained father/son dynamic is painfully real. And it reads like the wind! ”

“ Laura Shamas illuminates a true and yet utterly surprising romantic episode during Oscar Wilde’s formative years. For Wilde fans, this painfully honest family history of genteel poverty explains so much about his later life and art. A joyful highlight is a boxing lesson that not only underscores Wilde’s bold response to bullies but also cleverly foreshadows his later run-in with the Marquess of Queensberry. Elegant, smart and heartfelt! ”

“ This comedy is over the top but very relatable, with issues of body positivity and heritage comingled in delightful ways. The bawdy humor is enhanced by fantasy elements (the main character is a cartoonist and her characters come to life), so there is much room to play (projections, crazy props, etc. if you want them). The scripts deals cleverly with stereotypes and audience expectations, surprising us with interesting twists. The resolution is satisfying and heartfelt, a real crowd-pleaser! ”

“ Compelling, creepy and ultimately thrilling, The Changeling is a bold and honest metaphorical and metaphysical “how-not-to” on parenting. Wonderfully atmospheric with a strong sense of comic dread, the play challenges traditional relationships and parenting advice. The ending is a shocker yet deeply satisfying. ”
