24 Pictures of a Pilot by Holly Arsenault

Texarkana Waltz by Louis Broome

“Everything has worked to turn Broome’s broad, wistful saga into something warm and rewarding. With high comic and tragic style, the show croons a whiskey-soaked tale of the stories that both conceal us from and reveal us to each other and ourselves.” — The Stranger

Burning Bridget Cleary by Allison Gregory

“(The play’s) greatest strength is its haunting story – of the fatal storm of fairy lore, Christian fervor, Irish nationalism, and the small-town gossip and resentments that converge on Bridget Cleary and set her on fire.” — The Stranger

The Secret Recordings of Lenin to his Lost Love Mary Ann of Topeka, Kansas by Brendan Healy

“The new play by Seattle writer Brendan Healy is meta to the max, a face-off between democrats and dictators throughout history (Caesar and Brutus, Hamilton and Burr, Lincoln and Lenin) in a single Topeka neighborhood. The substance is in the jokes.” 
— The Stranger

The K of D by Laura Schellhardt

“The K of D is...a ghost story—the kind of stemwinder best woven once the s’mores are gone and the campfire dies down and the only prop is a flashlight clutched just below the chin. Playwright Laura Schellhardt’s storytelling prowess is nothing short of magical.” — Seattle Weekly

Crumbs Are Also Bread by Stephanie Timm

“It’s like meeting a whole village as Timm parades her endearingly kooky types past. It works best when it feels like Sherwood Anderson’s Winesburg, Ohio, with some Desperate Housewives thrown in.” — Seattlest
