  • VULTURE GIRL: A HALLOWEEN MONOLOGUE by Asher Wyndham
    11 Aug. 2019
    “ As the parent of a girl who hated girly Halloween costumes I can so relate to this, but the underlying message here is that parents need to stop forcing their children into gender pigeonholes, something Vulture Girl already understands at her young age. Terrific monologue! ”
  • The Thought Doesn't Count by Emily Hageman
    11 Aug. 2019
    “ Gorgeous, moving, and brave play about grief and love that anyone can relate to. Highly recommend! ”
  • Running on Glass by Cynthia L. (Cindy) Cooper
    9 Aug. 2019
    “ Theatrical and compelling play with two super-strong roles for female actors. Cooper puts the stories of six, mostly forgotten female sports stars on stage and shows us, in a few moving and condensed scenes, their determination and the obstacles they faced, while two contemporary women simultaneously try to tell those women's stories to the larger world. I love how these women are brought to life for us. We need more plays like this! ”
  • The Way You Made Me (a solo show) by Lindsay Partain
    28 Jul. 2019
    “ Beautiful and fascinating monologue that explores the different facets of love and self with enormous and heartbreaking honesty. I would love to see this performed. ”
  • CHARLIE: A SCHOOL JANITOR MONOLOGUE by Asher Wyndham
    28 Jul. 2019
    “ I love that Wyndham has given voice, and a role, to someone with Down syndrome, who is also, wonderfully, a school janitor with something to say. Wyndham's monologues are always so affecting. This one lingers too. ”
  • Eve Addam’s Tearoom by Lee R. Lawing
    28 Jul. 2019
    “ Lovely and moving play centering on an historical person about whom little is known, and Lawing fills in the blanks to give her a voice and a story that should be told. So much in so few pages! ”
  • Den Bla Planet by Liz Dooley
    28 Jul. 2019
    “ Terrific, theatrical two-hander that starts off with a bang and keeps us on the edge of our seats waiting to find out will will gain the upper hand, and the fact that it's about a shark and set in an aquarium makes it even more wonderful! ”
  • The Cliffs of Paris by Emma Goldman-Sherman
    28 Jul. 2019
    “ Another gem from Goldman-Sherman--a masterful and very funny short play about the long-married, with two fabulous (and so rare!) roles for actors in their 50s. I would love to see this on stage. ”
  • Will Somebody Give Me a Sandwich by Donna Gordon
    28 Jul. 2019
    “ Moving short play with a much-needed, compassionate perspective on homelessness. Would be a lovely addition to any short-play festival about mental illness or family. ”
  • Spontaneous Clownbustion by John Weagly
    28 Jul. 2019
    “ Who could resist a play with this title? But beyond the title it's terrific. I love the dark, surreal humor, as well as the undercurrent of grief and loss these two bewildered characters experience and struggle to express. So much in so few pages. ”
