  • George Sapio: Right as Rain

    A lovely play, peaceful, touching. Inevitable, really. Catches a part of our lives and makes a certain transition with love and tenderness.

  • George Sapio: Copley: Boy with a Squirrel (Boston, MFA)

    Same thing I do when gazing at a particularly lifelike painting: wonder what the life was. Or, in this case: is... or may be. Larry catches the train of thought as it meanders here and there, always returning to the mysterious life held within the pigment. These seemingly random sentences all string together beautifully to capture a moment of retrospect.

  • George Sapio: To Tread Among Serpents

    An outstanding play. Tense, suspenseful, incisive and chilling characterization. Nothing is obvious and the plot turns with devastating effect. Do NOT get involved.

  • George Sapio: Meet My Boyfriend

    A play to engage meaningful conversement. RFW once again finds the humanity in our fears and creates characters who challenge to protect what and who they are--and are challenged because of what they choose to think.

  • George Sapio: THE APPOINTMENT

    Like watching a train wreck. Thankfully Rachel doesn't romanticize this. This 10-minute episode, for all its hilarity, seems uncomfortably real and would make a blazing onstage performance.

  • George Sapio: Virgins

    I never get tired of reading Scott's work. He never fails to create fully human, vulnerable, genuine characters who find themselves knee-deep without much of an idea how...well, they know how they got there. This play is wonderful, full of love, honesty, funny as hell and a beautiful vehicle for two actors to negotiate their way through.

  • George Sapio: Romero and Juliet (from the THE WRINKLE RANCH AND OTHER PLAYS ABOUT GROWING OLD collection)

    An outstanding, completely captivating play for four romantic actors. I found myself hoping it would all turn out right and rooting for each character to make it all come true. A wonderful piece for any night of shorts--especially romantic plays!

  • George Sapio: INVISIBLE - A ZOOM Play

    Wow. Did not see this coming. A very important lesson was originally supposed to be presented and discussed, but a more critical one took its place. Well done, tightly written, and honestly presented. And may I say--huge props to Mrs Cooper. Wish we all had teachers like her!

  • George Sapio: Uncomfortable [a 1-minute monologue]

    There is an art form to one-minute plays, and Mr. Martin absolutely excels at it. We've all seen William, but how many of us take the time to acknowledge--really see and validate--him? On the one hand the world speeds by inexorably and on the other, William seems to become more invisible. This is a one-word play and Mr. Martin uses it for maximum emotional effect. A perfect moment of simplicity speaking volumes.

  • George Sapio: Suddenly Rippling, Out and Up [a 1-minute play]

    Such a true, incisive moment. The things we say to keep our children safe and brave, yet the reality...may not be so pat. Mr. Martin gives us a powerful piece, one that stays, and reminds one that bravery is a good thing to pass on. Skip this in to an evening of shorts and it will be talked about long after.
