  • A Ghost of a Chance
    6 Jan. 2021
    A heartfelt and hilarious play, with fun characters and a compelling story. We root for these flawed characters and cross our fingers tightly hoping for their reconciliation. The premise feels like fresh and modern take on a classic movie with high stakes. Well done.
  • The Baddest Kid on Emerson
    5 Jan. 2021
    A powerful play with unexpected twists, "The Baddest Kid on Emerson" takes us to very dark places where compassion is absent and disappointment turns to cruelty. Martin shows the world we live in is one we wish we never see.
  • They Extract!
    3 Jan. 2021
    A moving and layered play set in the future. While technologies have changed, people have not — hopes, ambitions, fears, and love still frame our lives and society. Eppchez! takes us a on us on a journey that we will not forget.
  • BINDERS
    3 Jan. 2021
    So much to love about this play! An absurdist, sci-fi play, with three people leaving earth for Mars. Hilarious dialog with line free line so funny that you want to pause to think about them, but you also can’t wait to see what these characters will say next. Underneath this dialog are true feelings of loss, fear, and despair. Well done.
  • More Flowers.
    29 Dec. 2020
    A lovely and authentic monologue where a young woman explores her grief. Beautiful and vivid imagery of flowers and their meaning in a time of grief.
  • Whirlpool
    29 Dec. 2020
    A beautiful coming of age story when friendship turns to romance -- and the confusion, longing, struggles, denials, betrayals that the young can't articulate. When these two meet and reflect together in maturity, the healing can begin.
  • DREAM TALK
    29 Dec. 2020
    So much to love in this brief, but emotionally-packed play. Imperfect relationships have a lasting effect on us, as we try to understand. This play comes from the heart.
  • BOOTS
    29 Dec. 2020
    BOOTS is a hilarious play that takes relationship issues to a new level. Within this delightful play with deliciously impossible characters, there is truth to trying to navigate a struggling relationship. Characters use avoidance, defensive accusations, pleading, and justification — familiar techniques in relationship discussions, but Rachael Carnes goes completely over the top with hilarious results.
  • FLOATING BUBBLES
    19 Dec. 2020
    As my mother would say, there’s a lid for every pot. A charming play where two “quirky” people beat the odds and find each other. A hopeful and funny play.
  • Family Visitation (Ten Minute)
    19 Dec. 2020
    Devastating and, unfortunately, real. When two people are everything to each other and they are torn apart, not by death, but by the ignorance and the hatred of others. When tiny bit of compassion is lacking in the final moments. Heartbreaking.
