  • Breathe. by Andy Rassler
    6 Dec. 2016
    “ A compelling take on the "Inside Out" concept, as Panic, Logic and Euphoria react when a diver may have broken his or her neck. The three emotions jockey for dominance in a crisis, and recall other situations when they were under duress. Rassler gets major points for daring to venture into the intangible, with generous author's notes that embrace a director's artistic vision. Strong. Bold. Phantasmagoric (to steal a word from the play.) ”
  • Matthew Three Horn by Adam Eugene Hurst

    “ Perhaps more important to read now than ever. A beautiful story. Gets its message across with heart and humor (And oh! The humor! The only thing that would make this play better is if it's funny and it IS!) An instant classic, destined to be performed over and over and over again. Great for kids, better still as a reminder for adults. A perfect heroine, a villain with redemption-capabilities and a lovable hero with the greatest first name of all time. (#smileyface) The question isn't, "Should our theater put this on?" It's "Why haven't we performed this yet?!" ”
  • The Fort by Laura Pittenger
    29 Nov. 2016
    “ A nice scene between two brothers as they talk about what all's going on in their lives while trying to find their childhood fort. Zags exactly when you think it's gonna zig, in the best possible way. Lots of lovely little character moments and details. Beautifully told. ”
  • The Boy Who Could Talk to Girls by Hal Corley
    29 Nov. 2016
    “ I started reading and was unable to turn away. Mr. Corley's characters are so engrossing and endearing as he uncovers their flaws. Antonio and Noah's interactions are compelling; it's completely believable that they would unburden themselves to each other. And each girl gives a little of herself to Antonio - by choice or not - making for an incredibly well-told story. The final secret packs a wallop. Fantastic. ”
  • Morning (a five minute, dialogue-free play) by Mark Harvey Levine
    20 Nov. 2016
    “ Elegant in its simplicity, a quirky little bit of comedy genius. I love when plays touch upon the ordinary, and Levine makes it extraordinary without a single word being spoken. Just beautiful. A master playing in miniature and showing the rest of us what can be done, and how. ”
