This is a sweet and understated play about love between two sisters where the setting of a New Hampshire sugaring farm plays its part beautifully. Love it!

You will fall in love with these ghosts who are haunting a couple as they face the much scarier specter of parenthood. A funny and tender play, perfect for any Halloween festival.

An imaginative and thoughtful prequel to The Tempest that strikes a perfect balance between heightened language and clear storytelling. This would be an amazing accompaniment to a Shakespeare production, but also stands on it's own as a story of a mother and son seeking justice and healing. Full of great design opportunities and meaty but flexible roles for actors, I would love to see this on stage.

This play is is awesome! Richly complex, viciously funny, and totally captivating. I saw the reading at the Pittsburgh Public Theater and can't wait to see it fully staged one day!

I was fortunate to see a reading of this play at the Pittsburgh Public Theatre and the audience was holding its breath the whole time. The relationships in this play feel complex and and lived in, like longterm friendships are. It's incredibly engaging to be jerked in and out of the easy teasing and banter of childhood friends to the violence of old wounds, secrets, and toxic revelations. A rich and weighty piece of theatre!

I was fortunate to see a reading of this play at the Pittsburgh Public Theatre and found it to be a rich, moving, and intimate portrait of grieving family. I was especially struck by the powerful discussion of active shooter drills and the effect they have on the young people participating in them. This is a play that speaks to the present moment in a way that feels both personal and profound. I can't wait to see it fully produced!

The stakes for a game of bar trivia have never been so high! I got to hear a reading of this play at the Pittsburgh Public Theatre and loved every minute with these funny and flawed friends. Richie's struggle to stand up for himself in a world full of managers is especially poignant, and Marci's crush on the bartender still makes me laugh. Additionally, the Pittsburgh bar setting is so specific, and full of spot-on hilarious details. A perfect two-hander I would love to see staged.

I intended to just start this play, and ended up whipping through the whole thing in one sitting because it has such an intense forward movement to it! This is a story about processing traumatic events but it's also a nuanced and compelling love story. With flexible casting and meaty roles, this is an excellent choice for college students.

I loved watching A TELL-TALE HEART as presented by the Pittsburgh Public Theatre! This adaptation is just as creepy as the source material, but also funny, uniquely Pittsburghian, and totally engrossing. Silberblatt plays with warmth and charm alongside horror and gore in a way I've never seen before and was totally fascinated by. A perfect show for Halloween!

I am so impressed by the elegant way this play is structured to allow us into such intimate and subtly heartbreaking moments on stage. It feels effortless and dreamlike, but is so expertly done. Gibson explores the feeling of loneliness in a crowd here with such nuance and sensitivity. I was very drawn to the way this play makes you feel the anxiety of being trapped at a party where you don't know anyone, but also presents these beautiful opportunities for escape through connection and honesty between the characters. An unusually delicate and aching piece of theatre.
