EXIT SANTA is a great romp through winter holiday tropes! I had the pleasure of seeing a production of this play at the Acrosstown Rep in Gainesville, FL and laughed all the way through it. From Die Hard to It's a Wonderful Life, Robert Hugh Brown hits all the classics. A delightful holiday show!

Two figures in plague doctor masks critique bodies that have befallen gruesome murders in increasingly disturbing exhibitions. Chilling! Justin Guidroz has created an excellent work of Horror!

ALL THE WAY DOWN is a whimsical take on our continual need to explore the unknown. This play has you hanging with Nora and Billy as they keep reaching up to the unknown. Great for imaginative staging and great parts of physical actors. Lindsay Partain takes an old legend to know heights!

Full of Fantasy and Imagination! Drastic Dragon Station focuses on Charlie, who is a writer, and Inky, who is the prisoner trapped inside her brain. Desperate for escape, Inky wades through the waves of ink as Charlie writes. This play beautifully embodies a struggle with mental illness, and brings it to life in this delightful metaphor. There is humor and hope throughout this piece. Inky is a wonderful part for a physical actor. READ THIS PLAY!
