  • Wolfgang Jones: An Avalanche

    This would be a lot of fun for the cast or the audience. Miller's dialogue weaves in and out at a blistering pace and guides this therapist's nightmare.

  • Wolfgang Jones: A Series of Meetings

    A SERIES OF MEETINGS is very fun and very inventive. Reich plays with structure and theatre in a way that inverts so much of our expectations of this medium (and its relationship to the audience) before offering a thought-provoking and hopeful ending which left me considering our collective potential if we really came together. Yet another piece by this playwright that I'm eager to see staged.

  • Wolfgang Jones: HOMERIDAE

    Such a strong, strong play. Identity, authenticity, power, structural and generational racism, and so much more are explored beautifully here. Espinoza has crafted a very recognizable world complete with rich dialogue and vibrant characters laced with poetry that deeply ties this story together. With plenty of humor, heartbreak, and grace, AZ Espinoza challenges us to critically examine that which we accept at face value. Highly recommended.

  • Wolfgang Jones: The Care and Keeping of Schizophrenia (and Other Demons)

    Absolutely spectacular. CARE & KEEPING is a triumph and a bold, hilarious, profound new work. I was fortunate enough to witness this piece at the 2023 Seven Devils New Play Conference and was nothing if not blown away. Phenomenal work that I am beyond ready to see produced.

  • Wolfgang Jones: Ryan's Pub, Trivia Night

    There is so much to love in this play. Silberblatt's narrative voice is so precise and his mastery of the Yinzer dialect creates one of the most unexpectedly compelling stories. The brilliance of this piece is highlighted by the stakes, the humor, and the profound dignity of these working-class people. Brilliant work. Highly recommended.

  • Wolfgang Jones: How to Hide Your Monster

    This is such an inventive, fascinating, and bold way to write for theatre. Kraay manages to imbue this play with all kinds of immersive possibilities while navigating identity, relationships, agency, mental health, intergenerational traumas, and much more. Delivering this story (while finding space for this much humanity) requires both a skill and grace that's hard to come by. HOW TO HIDE YOUR MONSTER needs to be on stage.

  • Wolfgang Jones: Kilgore

    Rarely am I kept on my toes the entirety of a story, yet Kraay continually surprises with disgust, laughs, charm, and shock. The mark of a good writer is knowing how to keep your audience engaged and rarely have I turned the pages so quickly. This notable contribution from a fantastic writer is more than ready for production.

  • Wolfgang Jones: Stupid Ghost

    I god damn love this play.

  • Wolfgang Jones: Cannbal's

    An exciting first foray into what promises to be a fun, strange, and horrifying world. The headfirst dive into the Cannery is a great first take on our profitable punitive system and worse yet - where it might be headed. CANNBAL'S is already filled with interesting dynamics, characters, and fucked up humor befitting its promising young playwright.

  • Wolfgang Jones: Withdrawn

    WITHDRAWN is a brutal yet surprisingly funny glimpse into the world of addiction and the struggle to escape a living hell. Dick displays a graceful touch that is as moving as it is shocking.
