  • Ian Donley: Romeo & Her Sister

    "Romeo & Her Sister" is an electrifying play filled with rich characters and a touching story. This play examines how the theater can be both a safe haven and a hell on earth. Blevins knows just when to pull the audience's heartstrings, and when to jolt them. It goes from feeling intimate to larger than life. This would be a really wonderful piece to produce for any theater small or big.

  • Ian Donley: Last Call

    "Last Call" is a relatable and theatricality comedy about how we handle what life throws at us (or not).

  • Ian Donley: The Prince's Shadow

    Jillian Blevins' "The Prince's Shadow" gives us a deconstructed look at one of Shakespeare's famous rulers. Blevin's takes Henry V to examine the role masculinity plays not simply in Shakespeare's world, but through our own, and translates it beautifully in less than ten pages.

  • Ian Donley: The End Is Nigh (And Yet, So Far)

    Greg Mandryk combines true humanity with an over-the-top scenario to deliver a comedic and enjoyable play. The characters are grounded in the midst of the absurdity, and the pacing of the play allows for the characters to evolve rapidly.

  • Ian Donley: Venus Needs Men

    "Venus Needs Men" is a campy and fun depiction of how women, sometimes, indeed need men in their lives, even if it is for theater productions.

  • Ian Donley: 2 Bdrm 1 Bath

    "2 Bdrm 1 Bath" is a sweet comedy about how every relationship has its highs and lows, and getting through only makes them stronger. This would be lovely to see live!

  • Ian Donley: The Mitzvah

    David Shaw draws up a character who seemingly is juggling her sanity and her innocence in both hands, which makes for an well-crafted monologue for a lucky actress to perform.

  • Ian Donley: Promises, Promises

    "Promises, Promises" is a touching exploration of male friendships through two best friends who can't live without each other. When their friendship is tested, we see how even platonic relationships can be even stronger than romantic ones.

  • Ian Donley: altitude

    Daniel Prillaman gives a unique combination of old-school absurdist theatricality with this stoner comedy adventure. The characters are memorable, and, through their distinct characteristics (and names), actors have the perfect opportunity to dive headfirst into the madness.

  • Ian Donley: The Golden Egg Cream Gold Club

    "The Golden Egg Cream Gold Club" appears silly on the surface. But, as the play progresses, themes such as classism and superiority rear their heads in a comedic manner that entices the audience to look beyond their own understandings of them.
