  • George Sapio: Kong by James Binz
    “

    There's so much here to rebel against. Three characters, three careers, and a million dollars in spent money all riding on a misogynist film scene. Will the star hold her ground? Or will Hollywood protect its investment at the cost of one star's dignity? Cast with three women, it makes an interesting conundrum and is quite thought provoking.

  • George Sapio: Banned from the Great Unknown by Ian Thal
    “

    The complexities of global politics always daunting. Who to believe? Two friends--colleagues, artists respectful of each others' work (who both genuinely connect on the death of one's beloved cat)--clash on an Amiri Baraka poem and discover there's a wide gap between their opinions and their choice of sources. Deftly woven, this play demonstrates the ease with which we can be polarized when we should be desperately seeking ways to come together.

  • George Sapio: The Old Railroad by Scott Sickles
    “

    Scott is one of my favorite writers. His ability to bring out character is subtle, yet brilliant. Even a small moment like this has weight. A beautiful moment that makes you imagine you know more about these two.

  • George Sapio: failing at a 1-page play festival by John Mabey
    “

    I love John's work. Especially his fascination with the Lord of the underworld. A truly fun piece that just brings home what every playwright knows. Or thinks they know. Deep inside. Where no one can see the disappointment. But still they try. Fools.

    Loved this script. In a few short seconds, indignities are committed and justice is served. Audiences will stand up for this.

    Short but perfect. Love comes with a high price tag, but it's always worth it.

  • George Sapio: Devil’s Advocate - ONE MINUTE PLAY by Debra A. Cole
    “

    I always thought the Devil got a bad rap, and this gem proves it. Great piece for anyone who's ever wanted to (over?) perform a courtroom opening statement. Ms. Cole has a beautiful ear for wit!

  • George Sapio: Getting Lucky at the DMV – ONE MINUTE PLAY by Debra A. Cole

    Reminds me so much of Ithaca, NY. A sweet moment in a long, sad day, but amidst the sadness, light always seems to shine through. Audiences will certainly get this one.

    Makes perfect sense to me. Over before you know it, but it does stick with you. Very clever!

    Hilarious! A ridiculous romp through Cold War tropes, double- and triple-crosses, and a great script for two actors to chew their way through. Another excellent work from MHL.
