AJ Ciccotelli *2010 finalist New American Playwrights Program at Utah Shakespearean Festival *Won a 2011 Pickering Award for Excellence in Playwriting INLAND EMPRESS "The dramatic story that combines a Breaking Bad plot with a tougher version of the girls of The Facts of Life and a slight Old Yeller twist. The good, the bad, the facts of life are all wrapped up in this stunning strong female cast and well written story." Rachel Flanagan, discoverhollywood.com “Playwright Tom Cavanaugh knows something of the folk who populate this land of food and dope, which he has put to great use in his first produced play, Inland Empress." Dale Reynolds, EDGE Media Network "Inland Empress is so jammed packed with hyper-paced direction and extenuating threads,that the audience barely has time to breathe, mostly gasping air throughout. But, when it does finally sit still, it lands." Gia On the Move.com MR. PICMAN "Yet another display of crafty writing and humor is Tom Cavanaugh’s Mr. Picman, with Alysha Brady as a headstrong daughter trying to explain her job as a penis assessor to her surprised mother (Sarah Lilly). Both performances are excellent under Kathleen O’ Grady’s direction." Lovell Estell III, stageraw.com OCEAN FRONT "The play explores the reality of married life in the twenty-first century and the hardships inflicted on people that care about each other during these trying times in today's America." broadwayworld.com DINER TALK *First prize in the Jersey Voices One Act Play Festival HARVEST *Third prize in Toucan Films Short Screenplay Competition in Burbank, CA.
