    A sex farce for the emotionally constipated. Pfeffinger writes the kind of scenes actors want to do: punchy, ping-pong dialogue with just enough heart to crack you open when you’re not looking. Strap in (or on)—it gets wonderfully unhinged.

    The Lazarus Club gathers the recently returned in a surreal corner of the world—somewhere between Tim Hortons and limbo. The play floats through time and space, toggling between quiet confessions and collective myth-making. A flexible, fluid ensemble piece that centers trust, belief, and the patchwork of meaning we cling to when the miracle is over and the paperwork begins.

    I was lucky enough to see this play at Appalachian Festival of Plays and Playwrights in 2023. It was the hit of the festival. No one does comedy like DW. Dry, concise, biting humor, incisive commentary, and a wonderful gem of a play that resonates so fully in this moment. It's the perfect evening of theater.

    Saw a reading of this piece at Florida Rep PlayLab. Tightly-drawn character study. Bold and self-assured, Fazio knows about the power of distillation.

    I was really blown away by this piece when I saw it at CATF over the summer. A gorgeous, powerful play. Detailed and intricately woven. Humorous, hypnotic and lyrical. I'm a huge fan of DW's attention to character. They always draw me in, and this play was no exception. Amazing work by a writer for our time.

  • Audrey Cefaly: The Arsonists by Jacqueline Goldfinger
    “

    A feast for the senses. Souful. Elegaic. Intensely poetic, textural storytelling. Goldfinger spins haunting tales of the south like no one else.

  • Audrey Cefaly: Go Ahead by Jeremy Gable
    “

    Observant. Finely distilled. Gable understands about dramatic tension and the power of silence in storytelling. He creates characters we care about, ones we invest in. Two VERY strong and powerful roles for women here. Attention must be paid.

    Funny. Sharp. Clever. Jacobi has documented here in delightful form the empty rituals and hollow sentiment often bandied about by well-intentioned white folk in the name of racial equality.

    “

    Holy hell. What a bold, gorgeous, desperately beautiful play. At once tender, dark, hilarious and brutal. What this writer knows about intimacy is a lot. My first Winter Miller experience. Fan for life.
