A sweet and funny play with a message wrapped in an absurdist package. Audiences and actors will have a blast with this piece. You had me at dinosaur.

A tense and funny family drama where siblings argue about how to fulfill their mother’s final wish. The well-drawn hurt and confusion behind the argument goes deep. Well done.

Fast paced and fun. These short plays speak to anyone who had tried to take on a game challenge.

A fast-paced play we can all relate to. Love the title.

A clever and charming reach back to the Christmas pause in World War I. And a reminder that, as humans, we always seek connection.

A fun and fast placed play wrapped it a fable. Nicely layered,

Stunningly beautiful language. “Another Kind of Silence” lays bare the souls of these complex characters. Use of Greek chorus in a contemporary way is brilliant.

I love a play with set in a world with crazy rules. Rachel Feeny-Williams has done just that with hilarious results. What a fun piece for actors.

A touching piece where a teen searches for hope after the suicide of her father. A reminder of the multitude of emotions — pain, loss, anger. It’s through understanding that we can begin to heal.

I don’t know how Asher Wyndham discovers and expresses the hurt inside his characters so brilliantly. In this monologue, we meet a referee who goes above and beyond for kids and their families and has reached his breaking point. Beautifully done.
