  • A Pine Cone's Chance

    Oh. WOW. I love everything about this. Post apocalyptic conversations between generations? Our current society--all of it's absurdity and corruption and contradictions filtered through memory like a ghost. It reminds me a bit of Cormac McCarthy's the road in the BEST possible way. Eickmeyer has such a sharp way of constructing dialogue: grounded, poetic without being too intellectual, and effecting. I want to see this produced. It honestly deserves it. Great work."

  • Heaven Or Hell

    "No matter where we are, we can only keep our children so safe. Make it from artillery fire or the bombshells dropped on the news, Kids will see hard things, sometimes inexplicable sometimes indescribable things, and ask the difficult questions. And keep asking which they should. Eickmeyer gives us a good dad doing his very best to explain a dark world. The monologue makes you feel even more deeply than you think, as it weighs the horrors of life and challenges us to decipher them for the innocent"

  • Carols from Accursed Mouths

    This is gripping tale of war and faith (or lack there of) harkens to the Christmas Truce with a modern and pressing significance. This examination of wartime stresses and fleeting reliefs makes for compelling theater. This is a play that deserves staging immediately.
