The Brontes have always fascinated me and this heart-wrenching look at the siblings is fantastic! It's moving and bittersweet with strong historical male and female characters any theatre artist would love portraying. Perfect for high school and college seasons, I'd love to see this on it's feet. Thank you Kaplan for taking me on this amazing journey!

What do you do when you're stuck in JFK with five other complete strangers? You could act out stories. But whose stories could you act out? How about Chaucer! And they do! and it's hysterical and charming. Rinkel has adapted these medieval tales into contemporary language and settings without compromising the original rhyme scheme. Love this play.

This. Play. Is. So. Beautiful! Osmundsen has a gift for creating empathetic and engaging characters that I really root for, especially Henry. I fell in love with him--I fell fast and I fell hard. His journey is hopeful, heartbreaking and FAN-TAS-TIC!!!! We need to see more stories like this on the stage, and I can't recommend this one highly enough.

What a fantastic continuation of the beloved Dickens original--a look at Peter Cratchit and the man he became, and a heartwarming examination of how one single person can touch so many and the power of love. Lockhart's script had me both grinning like a loon and tearing up. This play would be a wonderful addition to any theatre's season and should become--like it's predecessor--a Christmas tradition!

Pulled me in from page one and wouldn't let me go until the last page. Kulak knows how to spin a story and add twists at just the right time and in the right way. The payoff was one of my favorite bits--my jaw hit the floor. I would love to see this staged.

What a beautiful and emotional tale! The characters are human and fascinating and the dialogue is lyrical from page one. It touched my heart and warmed my soul.

An in-your-face coming of age story that looks at the culture that we currently live in, and the pitfalls of privilege and racism that still exist. Josh's journey is one that everyone should take.

This play hit me right in the gut. A brutal, realistic and compelling portrait of abuse and excuses that artists make to create through destructive means. Gacinski has a talent for building tension very naturally into the heart-breaking yet inevitable climax.

I saw "Gypsy" years ago, but I was always more fascinated by June and the facets of her life. This play is like an answer to my prayers. It's a witty, sharp, and beautiful memory play that tugs at heartstrings and makes me grin like an idiot whenever Ethel takes the stage. Thank you Doug DeVita for bringing one of the most fascinating artists to brilliant life!

Why do we form relationships with the people we do? Why do we fall in and out of love? And what effect do the people we interact with--romantically and otherwise--have in our lives? This script is full of answers to these questions and gives you much to think about. Rosa and Health's roller-coaster relationship is relatable and enjoyable!
