  • Catherine Weingarten: Rust On Bone by Bianca Sams
    “

    A piercing, freaky, beautiful drama that has a lot of big things to say about race and gender. Bianca is a daring writer who is not afraid to provoke.

  • Catherine Weingarten: BARSHA BADAL: A MONOLOGUE by Asher Wyndham

    This play is so fun and feisty! Asher's use of Americana references helps to create an absurb world that I wanna be in for a while!

    Carolynne's fun, feisty female characters and her intriguing use of the spirits/other world/horror make this a super unique and seductive short play. This play is perfect for a Halloween short play fest!

    I'm obsessed with this play. It's a sexy, deep thinking piece about the drama that happens when two artists get together and the way gender affects the course of their relationship and the way the public views them.

    Beautiful, haunting, interesting narrative structure. This play reminded me a bit of the melancholic and mournful tone of "Spoon River Anthology."

  • Catherine Weingarten: Keys by Margot Connolly

    I saw a reading of this at Bennington College where it was a finalist in our college wide playwriting contest, and was thrilled by Margot's humor, intellect and intriguing Houdini fantasy world. This one act has so much delicious mystery and intriguing and flawed characters! Margot is a real up and comer!

    Daniel is so so so funny! I saw this play at the last Frontier Conference fringe festival and we were all laughing way too hard. The way Daniel can poke fun at current technology and how it affects romantic relationship is spot on! If you are doing a one act fest, this one is sure to get people excited!

  • Catherine Weingarten: Father's Day by Warren Paul Glover

    This is a fun, irreverent little play with lots of bite! Glover's use of language is intriguing and unique and the ending left me a little heartbroken. The play really gets at the hopes we put into having the ideal family and what happens when it can never really measure up.

    As a playwright, Andrea is an exciting, sassy new female voice. There's an ease and sexiness to her language that makes you kinda embarrassed and kinda want to party.
    I know Andrea because she acted in a play I did at the Last Frontier Theater Conference and was way too funny to exist, and her fluidity with comedy translates into her playwright's voice. Read this play, it will be a fun time!
