  • The Orphan Sea
    16 Jun. 2021
    Caridad Svich has taken me on a magical and poetic journey, creating a piece of theatre that would fit in festivals, colleges and professional and amateur theatre seasons. It's a designer's dream come true!
  • A Hostile Takeover in Battery Park
    16 Jun. 2021
    Lunsford's taut and snappy dialogue reels to you in a keeps you guessing...until he absolutely floors it. Mrs. Barren and Kelly are dynamic females you don't want to mess with and will keep you riveted until the very end. A brilliant gem of a one act.

    Charlie O'Leary has blown me away with this fascinating and unforgettable examination of sexuality, race and the need to belong and be loved. It's dark and it's eerie and it's powerful and it's a perfect reflection of issues that resonate as strongly today as ever. Put this show on it's feet.
  • SUGAR PIE
    8 Jun. 2021
    Lermond's "Sugar Pie" is very much like it's title--warm, sweet, and comforting. Willie and Ida are amazing characters that I was happy to spend time with and I hope to see them come alive onstage soon.
  • Home-Style Cooking at the Gateway Cafe
    6 Jun. 2021
    Once again Phillip Middleton Williams pulls me into what I think a play is going to be about and then flips my perception on its head in a fantastic way. Producers, Directors, and Actors should seriously think about booking a table at Gateway Cafe soon, and do so more than once.
  • Mother Road
    6 Jun. 2021
    In this brilliant sequel to one of English Literature's greatest novels, Octavio Solis gives Steinbeck a run for his money. This is a brilliant, powerful and beautiful play that should be put onstage sooner than soon.
  • The Disappearing Diamonds: From The Casebook of Beak E. Baxter
    30 May. 2021
    Fans of Hank the Cowdog, Mr. Pin and Thornton Burgess will be delighted by this TYA caper. Baxter and Chomper are fantastic and the spoof-on-noir plot is a sure winner!
  • Brothers on a Hotel Bed (15 minute play)
    30 May. 2021
    Ever had to share a bed with a sibling that already drives you nuts? What if you hadn't met this sibling until four hours prior? One answer to this question can be found in Speckman's poignant one act. Both comedic and heartfelt this play is a beautiful look at two half-brothers trying to navigate a new familial ties--and one hotel bed. Sam and James are authentic and wonderful characters anyone would love to play, especially younger actors.
  • Catch/Release
    30 May. 2021
    Wow. This is the type of theatre that should be put on stage now. A beautiful piece of that kept me riveted and is sure to do the same to it's audience. Elisabeth Speckman has created wonderful characters in Margot, Jayne and Caleb. She also has the ability to handle uncomfortable themes with empathy and grace.
  • A Deadly Engagement
    30 May. 2021
    I love the "house party murder mystery" genre, and Rachel Feeny-Williams doesn't disappoint! With the verve of Agatha Christie, Anne Perry, and Rhys Bowen this play is must for any murder mystery fan and will delight audiences and production teams alike. Put this onstage soon!
