  • Top of the World by Mary Lyon Kamitaki
    23 Jun. 2023
    “ I NEED to see a production of this play - ASAP! In a market saturated with stories of female survival, Kamitaki is the only one getting to the emotional core of girlhood by asking real and imaginative questions about safety and community! ”
  • King of Maricopa County by Mary Lyon Kamitaki
    23 Jun. 2023
    “ Another favorite of mine - the way Kamitaki takes a Spanish Golden Age text from the past into the present with ease and relevance is just a testament to her tremendous talent! ”
  • Mama, I wish I were silver by Amanda L. Andrei
    23 Jun. 2023
    “ I saw a reading of this play at Boston Court, and it completely wrecked me—in the best possible way! Fresh and exciting in its form, this play tells a story about two half-siblings discovering what family means to them. I loved every second of it. It's a must-see! ”

  • Helicopter Typhoon Carabao! Or, To Survive an Apocalypse Now by Amanda L. Andrei
    5 Oct. 2021
    “ THIS PLAY IS WHY THEATRE IS SUCH A VITAL ART FORM. IT NEEDS TO BEEN SEEN ON STAGE AND FELT IN THE AUDIENCE. I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS ONE I HAVE TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS. It's a gorgeous and upsetting deconstruction of war and art about war, where it falls short and how it beguiles us all. ”
  • Kill Shelter by Ashley Rose Wellman
    17 Aug. 2021
    “ Ashley Rose Wellman is a hit-maker—a skillful conductor grief and ghost stories who never fails to make you feel. Like much of her other work, Kill Shelter explores grief and loss; but this is the first time Life itself serves as an existential threat, allowing her to explore the uncomfortable moral grey areas of caretaking. A stunning series of poetic monologues from the perspective of abandoned animals capture the emotional tenor of each character beat—perfectly punctuating this poignant mother-daughter story—making it impossible to look away from the everyday horrors of being responsible for the lives of others. ”
  • Culture Night by Amanda L. Andrei
    15 Jan. 2021
    “ CULTURE NIGHT is a stunning visual piece of theatre exploring the ways in which we often struggle to unpack the weight of our families, history, and culture in a society that incentivizes forgetting and often fetishizes/exorcizes remembrance. But the weight of this struggle is never overwhelming as Andrei expertly weaves in humor, heart, and sexual tension into every scene. This play balances truth and joy in ways not often seen on stage; it demands to be seen and heard. ”
  • Jew Kamp by Stephanie Swirsky
    15 Apr. 2020
    “ This is one of my favorite plays EVER. I saw a reading of it at the Pasadena Playhouse and completely fell in love with Stephanie's hilarious approach to hard-to-approach topics. ”
  • Charlotte Stay Close by Christine J. Schmidt
    15 Apr. 2020
    “ I had the pleasure of seeing the EST/LA production of this haunting piece about death and dying. Hamilton-Schmidt shows us the sharpness and violence of female grief and childhood trauma—the kind that women typically aren't allowed to feel, especially on stage! In these hard times, it's good to know and see imperfect responses to loss. It's good to know you aren't alone in your fear, anger, and desire to do the wrong thing when everything feels wrong with the world. It's good to feel like you aren't alone. ”
  • Unrivaled by Rosie Narasaki
    15 Apr. 2020
    “ This play about women living in 11th century Japan is probably the most relatable and accurate portrayal of female friendship I've ever seen on stage or screen. As a woman, loving yourself, others and your creative work is a complicated and often unpleasant juggling act. Narasaki illustrates this with her signature hilarious and poetic dialogue that perfectly balances the rich aesthetic of the period with the language of our present. I can't think of one thing I don't adore about this play. Send it straight to BROADWAY. ”
