  • George Sapio: Angel Flight

    An exceptional psychological journey that will stay with you. There's a lot packed into this short piece, and Joe lets it unfold naturally and skillfully. The grief and loss that Joanie goes through is heartbreaking, and her revelation is powerful. You can almost see the dividing line when one part of her life ends and the next begins. An excellent play for any night of short works.

  • George Sapio: Death Plans A Holiday

    John has a wicked sense of humor and this play shows it off beautifully. As someone who loves bad puns (sorry, redundant), I found myself tickled to death (sorry, bad choice of words) several times reading this. Hilarious, moves quickly, lots of campy physical action, and great fun for the actors to play. A fresh take on a subject that may have been done to death elsewhere (sorry, sorry!).

  • George Sapio: Colchis

    Chilling. Wonderfully staged and wholly memorable. A great chance to direct creatively, and a powerful piece for the actors to explore.

  • George Sapio: Three Blind Mice

    An excellent acting script for the right three actors. Three acquaintances discover how to navigate the crises in their lives and realize how much they've needed honesty and inner strength. This is not an easy journey as all three are flawed, but the dialogue and interdynamics promise an evening that will stay with you long after.

  • George Sapio: Taken to School

    When dads are a bad influence, the best one can do is learn from them. A clever, fast-paced adventure that literally cruises through all sorts of illegal and dangerous behavior. Wrap that around a dysfunctional family situation and you have a play you'll cheer for. A dark comedic addition to any night of short plays--this one will stand out!

  • George Sapio: Kong

    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

    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

    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

    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.

  • George Sapio: Smile, Baby

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