We’re Not Playing: Three new plays by Allie Costa

Posted on December 14, 2016 by admin

Well, what can I say?  Sometimes a playwright whom you admire sends you a handful of plays because she writes about current social/political/economic issues all the time and your brain kind of stops in stunned silence at the power of … Continue reading →

C.J. Ehrlich wowed last year’s ONSTAGE playwrights and audiences with her hilariously sweet play, THE LILAC TICKET.  It sailed through the peer review process with incredible scores, and then touched our audiences’ hearts in a way that was really wonderful.  … Continue reading →

We’re Not Playing: a new play by Beth Kander-Dauphin

Posted on December 7, 2016 by admin

I had the joy of directing Beth Kander-Dauphin’s play, EPHEMERA, in our 2015 ONSTAGE Festival.  I loved the play’s characters, the underlying meaning in their conversation, and the way the audience reacted to the play’s final image.  Beth also recently … Continue reading →

We’re Not Playing: a new play by Amber Bosworth

Posted on November 23, 2016 by admin

Amber is a relatively new playwright, but only because she didn’t know there was a wordsmith within her actor self just dying to escape!  I am SO happy that she’s decided to let her words out – first with our … Continue reading →

We’re not playing, and we want you to join us!

Posted on November 16, 2016 by admin

Last week a lot of us watched in horror as Donald Trump, a misogynistic, xenophobic, and wildly ignorant human (we think…) man, was elected to be President of these United States. I’ve been spending a lot of time since then … Continue reading →

We’re Not Playing: a new play by Rhea MacCallum

Posted on October 24, 2016 by admin

Rhea’s play, ASKING FOR IT, was an instant hit in this year’s peer review process.  There are usually a few obvious standouts during the eval process – some plays just hit all the right notes!  Which is why I knew … Continue reading →

We’re Not Playing: a play by Tiffany Antone

Posted on October 18, 2016 by admin

Well, what can I say?  Getting back on track after last week’s festival-craziness (coupled with the sheer insanity of “OMG, I’m travelling with an infant, for the first time, on my own!” whirlwind) has taken longer than I thought.  I … Continue reading →
