What they are saying about
HEL'S KITCHEN... “I had the pleasure of attending a staged reading of this play at The Playroom Theater. It was funny, engaging, and chocked full of warmth and charm. I rooted for Helen, throughout all her travails. The supporting characters were all distinct and quirky." - J. Lois Diamond (NPX)
DUMMIES... "A terrific story. The teaching profession is renowned for crushing well-meaning souls under it's bureaucracy. A look inside the turmoil and stress that gets in the way of union. Fantastic work. - Cheryl Bear (NPX)
SUDS... "A marvelous ensemble of individuals that put a smile on your face as this fun play shows us what friendship is."
MORE SUDS... A wonderful sequel to SUDS featuring this fabulous ensemble of friends, thoroughly entertaining!
- Cheryl Bear (NPX)
STRAIGHT-TALKING... This play was a SEMIFINALIST for the 2017-2018 In-Progress New Play Reading Series at Unicorn Theatre in Kansas City, Missouri. It is our pleasure to support STRAIGHT-TALKING. Unicorn Theatre 4/6/2018
THE PANIC DEFENSE... "An absolutely stunning piece based upon real cases where "panic" was used as a defense in court for murdering people of the LGBTQ+ community. Powerful, haunting, moving... There are not enough superlatives. This is an important work worthy of production." - Kate Danley (NPX)
A smart, timely, compelling play, Affoumado draws the audience in with beautifully-hewn characters, rich and detailed, profoundly human, whose dialogue crackles throughout this drum-tight plot. This play snaps along with breakneck urgency, reminding us that as we dither about politics, real lives are at stake. Smartly training a light on the past, Affoumado confronts the inequities of the present, and asks us to look in our conscience, to envision what future we want to chart for this country. A clarion call to exercise our right to VOTE. I saw a reading of this play recently, and won't ever forget it. - Rachel Carnes (NPX)
ONE-WAY-TICKET... "I saw this play read at the 2018 William Inge Festival and it was a delight. Such humor and of course the parallels drawn between the mission to mars and the 2016 U.S. Presidential election so spot on." -Lee R. Lawing (NPX)
" What a fun little play! The playwright deftly mirrors/skewers the 2016 U.S. presidential election by way of a reality show competition to find the leader of a group on a mission to colonize Mars. It’s easy to laugh at but sad when you think of real life—that millions of people would vote for a bigoted, greedy, lying, misogynistic, unintelligent bully like Trump, here represented by the character Ronald. At least in this amusing satire, we get to send “Trump” to Mars. - Paul Vintner (NPX)
