  • The Mockingbird's Nest by Craig Bailey
    20 Oct. 2022
    “ A play that seems to go down the caregiver road - and doesn’t. A play that may explore dementia and does and doesn’t. A play about the human condition that ties a knot in your expectations. Loss, future, AI meet and do a new dance. A great take on an old theme. ”
  • HUG for the HOLIDAYS by Emma Goldman-Sherman
    20 Oct. 2022
    “ The mother-daughter relationship is laid bare by Goldman-Sherman. It’s about everything except what they talk about. It’s about nothing except what they talk about. Is anything more personal than food and hugs? Insightful, true, and sweet.
    ”
  • One Fish Two Fish by Amy Dellagiarino
    20 Oct. 2022
    “ I am rooting for these two so much. It may not look good but if you meet at a baby shower and carry immense amounts of heartbreak water on your back, it needs to count for something. A unique take on relationships, showers, and how to find a parked car. I hope it’s at a theatre near me soon. ”
  • The Antique Shoppe by Scott Sickles
    2 Aug. 2022
    “ A true rom-com - gentle, poignant, and funny. Sickles avoids the stereotypes usually assigned to senior characters. Bonus: you may view American History in a whole, new light. In a world that can use some extra love, Sickles delivers it. ”
  • Sugar by Jennifer O'Grady
    18 Jun. 2022
    “ Sugar is a tightly-woven, suspenseful take on a subject that cannot get enough exposure. It will take your breath away. It needs to be produced everywhere. ”
  • A Bubbe's Gift by Ellen Davis Sullivan
    28 May. 2022
    “ Sullivan’s play has given a heightened definition to the term “warrior princess.” Love is in these pages. And respect. Something we need more of. How wonderful to find it here. ”
  • A Complicated Hope by John Mabey
    27 Mar. 2022
    “ The play tackles life’s biggest occasions (love, grief, loss, family). In Mabey’s skilled hands, we are gifted with a personal story that is everyone’s. We know these characters, we root for their journeys. We forgive foibles. We hope for the best. There is more than a complicated hope at play here. There is complicated love, a complicated family, and a sense of gratitude that with all the complications, we are the better for them. ”
  • Checkout Line (A Ten Minute Play) by James McLindon
    21 Mar. 2022
    “ I love the layers on these two characters: the lies they tell each other and the truths that brim over. As both characters take off their masks of “indifference” and “I just don’t want to be lonely,” we see the possibility of a friendship. McLindon’s play addresses the awkwardness of starting something new with humor laced with humanity. ”
  • Target Audience by Sam Heyman
    16 Mar. 2022
    “ Spot on and scary because we don’t need to give theatres and patrons clues as to the need for the constant world premiere. I laughed anyway. Fun take on the short play festivals. ”
  • Something Borrowed... by John Busser
    16 Feb. 2022
    “ Laughed and laughed in-between my gasps of surprise. The nuances of this sibling rivalry are both hilarious and oh-so specific. The dialogue crackles. The play wows. A duet where there’s something for everyone - the actors and the audience. ”
