  • Chelsea Frandsen: Copper Angel

    For many many reasons, Anna Coleman Ladd has long been one of my heroes so I was excited beyond belief to come across this marvelous play! McClain has taken this powerhouse of a woman and told her story with poetry, empathy, and realism that brings Ladd and her greatest acheivement to stunning life.

  • Chelsea Frandsen: Depend on Me

    We've all lived through Roommate Hell, but not like this! Celia and Monica are each powerhouse females in their own right, and just two of the fantastic characters that Brian Maticic has created. The payoff is one of my favorite parts of and the darkly comic undertones make this play truly shine!

  • Chelsea Frandsen: Windfall

    Fabulous! Brian Maticic has a talent for dark comedy, and it shows! Trent, Olivia, and Owen are fantastic and quirky characters that actors will love to explore (Trent is undoubtedly my favorite); and Theresa, Randy, and Mom add wonderful flavor. The comic twists and turns(especially the dark ones) are masterfully done. Give this play a read and then put it on it's feet--audiences will love it!!!!

  • Chelsea Frandsen: Mestiza, or Mixed

    I'm always excited to read Melissa Leilani Larson's work no matter what phase it's in. While I do understand this work is still in "early draft" mode, this play is one I'd love to see live whenever it's ready. Larson has created an amazing character in Lark and her quest for identity kept me riveted. This is the type of story we need more of, especially now, and I applaud Mel for telling it!

  • Chelsea Frandsen: Hansel and Gretel: A Manga Tale

    A manga fairy tale all done in rhyme! Complete with epic fights, fun dialogue and the perfect amount of comedy added for flavor. A must read, a must see, and a must produce!

  • Chelsea Frandsen: OPHELIA LATER

    You think you know what happened to Ophelia...and then Harrison Bryan throws a curve ball that leaves you breathless with shock and giggles of dark humor! A great entry for any theatre festival and a fun piece for theatre artists to show off their acting chops!

  • Chelsea Frandsen: Nimue of the Lake

    As an avid fan of all thing Arthurian, I'm so happy to have found this play! Nimue is a fantastic character that any actress would love, and Arthur and Merlin have been reincarnated in a fresh and new way. Put this play on it's feet--it's perfect for any theatre season. Also, sword fights and magic!

  • Chelsea Frandsen: Marlowe Part One

    I love Marlowe almost as much as Shakespeare and this history play did not disappoint. The parallels drawn between Kit and Faustus were perfect, every character is so well developed that actors will be chomping at the bit to portray them, and the plot is full of twists and turns that kept me entertained until the last page. Put this show on it's feet and enjoy!

  • Chelsea Frandsen: The Battle of Wills (10 Minute Play)

    To a longtime fan of both Shatner and Shakespeare this play was a delightful find. Two of the most well known "Will"s in history battle words, and swords to prove who is "the best". Snappy and witty dialogue make this a fun piece for college, high school, or festivals.

  • Chelsea Frandsen: Man Boobs

    What a ride! This wonderful two-hander is dark and sexy and so very relevant! It's clear just how much Jiménez loves his characters. The dark humor is spot on and the denouement shattered me. Read this, produce this, it's that good!
