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

  • Julie Zaffarano: Another Kind of Silence by L M Feldman
    “

    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.

  • Julie Zaffarano: Let's Not Talk About it by Rachel Feeny-Williams
    “

    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.

  • Julie Zaffarano: The Ammo Box by Joe Swenson
    “

    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.

    “

    “One Step Forward” is a reminder that everyone has their demons. Judging doesn’t help. Compassion and knowledge can help that first step.

  • Julie Zaffarano: REF CHET DE YOUNG: A MONOLOGUE by Asher Wyndham
    “

    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.

  • Julie Zaffarano: A BREAK by Paul Smith
    “

    The tension in this play is so intense, it needs to either explode or break. Paul Smith brings this tension to a head with tight and authentic dialog. Well done.
