  • Chelsea Frandsen: A Spirited Manor - A Victorian Penny Dreadful by Kate Danley
    “

    As an unabashed fan of the Penny Dreadful I can't recommend this play enough! Danley has a marvelous talent painting pictures with words(both in the dialogue and stage directions), and the play as a whole is a designer and director's dream!

  • Chelsea Frandsen: EXPRESSION OF REGRET by Christine Toy Johnson

    A powerful look at a piece of political history that isn't talked about as much as it should be. What an important play--especially now. Produce this and produce it often!

    A fantastic play about the relationship between a mother and her daughter and the ambitions of youth versus the lessons learned with age. These are two women I would love to know more about.

    What a fun show! Ilana Lydia has written a beautiful fairy tale with fantastic dynamic characters and a wonderfully interwoven plot that would be a delight to watch onstage.

    How far would you go and what would you do to find out who you are? How does the lack of certain privileges effect the lives of those who don't have them? What exactly is "Family"? Johnson tackles the answers to the these questions in this wonderfully moving play.

    I have an unabashed obsession with WWII and Nancy Wake and was overjoyed to find this piece! Nancy Wake is a woman to be reckoned with and Rachel Bublitz is the amazing woman to tell her story! The plot moves at a heart racing clip and anyone who loves spy stories will eat this one up.

  • Chelsea Frandsen: A Cage of Fireflies by Daniel Akiyama
    “

    Oh my heart! This is one of the most achingly beautiful pieces I've read in awhile. The struggle of these sisters is so heartfelt i found myself rooting for each of them. Akiyama has a gift for storytelling that should be seen on stage multiple times.

  • Chelsea Frandsen: BATTLEGROUND by Tanuja Devi Jagernauth

    The fact that this the direction we are heading only adds to the realism of this comedy, which crackles with political and cultural commentary even as it makes me laugh.

    What a poignant, beautiful and important piece of work! I felt for both Yuki and Hana, and the plot kept me riveted. Keiko Green takes us on a beautiful journey about family and figuring out who you truly are. This is a piece I would love to see on it's feet!
