  • The Saddest Word in the English Language by Karina Cochran

    “ I love this play.
    The visual poetry of the accumulating ashes, and the spoken poetry of the characters casts a kind of desperately hopeful spell over the audience. Since I read this play in workshop at Carnegie Mellon a few years ago, I have often thought again of the final monologue, and the deeply satisfying way this play ends. ”
  • I'm Very Online by Ben Ferber

    “ This play is unsettling in a way that stays with you long after you've experienced it. Exploring the secret lives these characters lead online left me wondering about the people I know. This is a play that asks difficult questions, and sheds light on an aspect of our culture that is increasingly present in our lives but rarely explored onstage. ”
  • Roguish Machine by Daniel Hirsch

    “ I was fortunate to see this play in a workshop production at Carnegie Mellon. With a slam dunk opening scene, the play continues on a visually and emotionally gripping journey. The character of Eliza is especially compelling and the philosophical quandaries of the Luddite movement make for fascinating commentary on today's tech-addicted society. A challenging treat for theatre artists and audience members alike! ”

  • GIANT SLALOM by Jess Honovich
    16 Feb. 2017
    “ This is a funny and moving coming of age play about deciding what kind of person you want to be. It has a solid structure that allows for so much great physical action to happen on stage. With three fantastic roles for young women and one set, this is play is a producer's dream. However, more importantly, it tells a story that audiences will love hearing and won't be able to stop thinking about. ”

    “ I had the joy of seeing this play in a staged reading at KCACTF. It is a beautiful, imaginative story, with a ton of heart, about the joys and struggles of motherhood. It has amazing roles for women and actors of color, and would be a treat for a designer as well! Give it a read! ”

    “ With a title like that, how can you not want to read this play? Amy has created a fascinating futuristic world full of visual (and auditory) surprises and some truly great comedic moments. I especially love the bro-tastic take on the historical figures of Lewis and Clark. A really unique theatrical experience! ”
