Reviews and Past Productions Information

Review of the Month

"[Beauty, Brains, and Personality is] a brilliant unique play... one of its kind which will amuse the audience, move them, touch their hearts, make them smile, laugh, giggle and will leave them all smiling with a message at the end of the play."

-- Chennai Online

Other Reviews

"Dear Mr. Loverde: Each of your plays are wonderful!!!!!! One play in particular, Jesus Awakens the Little Girl...sounded as if Shane and I had written the play ourselves, just for our personalities. I also noticed that Bobby Sox as well as Chrissy in Sensitivity, USA are direct duplicates of the way I think and act. I just cannot believe how much the characters in the scripts we ordered mirror my personality so much! Please keep writing your plays, you'll be hearing from us again."

-- Holly from Ebensburg, Pennsylvania

"Emmett Loverde is a wizard with words. His absurdist old west farcical tale The Killist excels in a genre where only the best writers dare tread, and very few succeed. 'The Pinto is the Mustang of Horses' indeed! ... I am still laughing!"

-- Glenn Carlson, Director, The One Act Players of San Francisco

"[A Timely Maneuver] unfolds comically after Reggie asks Jane if she would go to bed with him and the scene offers a few hysterical insights into women's dating habits."

-- Jessica Emerson, USC Daily Trojan

"I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet tale of a little boy who really wants his family to stay together [Santa's Letters]. I had tears in my eyes when he asked Santa Claus for... well, I'm not going to tell you, but it really touched me. A wonderful new twist on the old legend of St. Nick."

-- MightyWords.com Reader

"[In Good Business Sense] Loverde shows keen insight into the subtleties of interpersonal relationships, evidenced in the tight dialogue."

-- Brent Hopkins, UCLA Daily Bruin

"[Good Business Sense is] an enjoyable bit of nonsense!"

-- L.A. Weekly

"[Mergers and Acquisitions, a collection of short plays] is nothing short of enjoyable. It should appeal keenly to college and Generation X audiences, and will ring true to those who have experienced serious relationships. A word to the wise: if you take a date to see this play, be prepared. It may very well incite a conversation about commitment."

-- Jessica Emerson, USC Daily Trojan

"Two's company, three's fun. When theatre personality Vandana Sajnani, actress Kashmira Shah and ramp walker Tejaswini Kolhapure ganged up at Hotel Viceroy on Sunday night, they had drama buffs all tickled. The trio teased, taunted and tormented each other under the arc lights in the hit American play Beauty, Brains and Personality."

-- K. Sachidanand Menon, The Hindu

"[The Blue Pond is] a magical and funny story about a 10-year old who saves a pond from a predatory kingfisher. One of a collection of well-written stories by author Emmett Loverde."

-- Carol Seter

"[Good Business Sense features] a script charged with wit and humor!"

-- The Pepperdine University Graphic

"[Teenagers from Outer Space] is well-written and entertaining. Good stuff for pre-teens and young adolescents, especially the bored version who would love to have dancing aliens visit their town."

-- Helen Newmark
