  • Chelsea Frandsen: Missing Grace

    I have no words. My mind is blown and my heart is in pieces. This play is beautiful, wrenching, unforgettable. Perovitch has created three multidimensional characters that I felt for and has created a world I want to revisit.

  • Chelsea Frandsen: ON THE ROOF

    Donna Hoke has written an amazing and truly authentic piece about a part of our culture and history that tends to get glossed over. The characters are poignant and powerful and some of the dialogue just sizzles. I'd love to see this on it's feet.

  • Chelsea Frandsen: Pineapple Upside Down Cake

    This play zips with awesome poetic energy. This is a moment we've all experienced at least once and it's usually *awkward*, but Weingarten takes the "awkward" and makes it hilarious. The beautiful contrast between what Lemon and Tucker experience in a single act is deliciously hysterical! I can't get enough of what Catherine Weingarten writes!

  • Chelsea Frandsen: Non-Player Character

    I have a huge admiration for anyone who can craft good dark comedies and Walt McGough is now added to my list. This play is beautiful, stark, raw, and real and I applaud this play for tackling current issues like toxic masculinity and cyber harassment with humanity and truth.

  • Chelsea Frandsen: Welcome to Matteson!

    Reminiscent of the Comedy of Manners, hilarious dialogue and well rounded beautifully juxtaposed characters, this play is a must-read, a must-see, and a must-produce! Sharp, witty, and delightfully *awkward*, there are moments we can all identify with no matter who we are, because these are situations we've all been in. Highly recommended. Well done, Inda Craig-Galván!

  • Chelsea Frandsen: Rules of the Debate

    Wow. Craig-Galván has a powerful way with words. Both young boys are multi-dimensional and the debate setting is perfect for this story. Beautiful and very necessary read.

  • Chelsea Frandsen: WINDBERRY CREEK

    Rachel Carnes has an uncanny ability to strip back layers of her characters in ways that draw the audience in and makes us want to know more. She created three beautiful, vulnerable, multi-dimensional women that I love! This story is full of snappy dialogue and the right blend of humor and conflict that delves deep into life, death, fear, family, self-discovery and everything else that makes us human.

  • Chelsea Frandsen: WORLD CLASSIC

    What a marvelous cast of deeply flawed and multi-dimensional characters telling a beautifully nuanced and emotional story about heritage, identity, trauma, family and grief. This is a story everyone can identify with; one that stuck with me long after I finished the last page and is still rattling around in my head. This is a show that should be seen on stage and experienced over and over again! No wonder I love Diaz-Marcano's work so much!

  • Chelsea Frandsen: TETHERED

    Love. Love love love this play!!!!! Chelsea Hickman has crafted a beautiful and heart-wrenching tale full of powerhouse roles for women. The dialogue is haunting and gorgeous and the relationship between Sileas and Margaret is a stark and tender contrast to Margaret and her Gossips. This is a play I want to see on it's feet!
