    This small play is a beautiful snapshot of all of the longing and uncertainty that has come out of these times. Joe and Rob's quest is something that many of us can relate too all too well after being cooped up in isolation for so long and I love how both characters are full and rich, navigating this current world.
  • To Tread Among Serpents

    Captivating, thrilling, and filled with suspense TO TREAD AMONG SERPENTS is a fascinating examination of our obsession with true crime and the stories that we are most interested in believing rather than what could be taken as truth. The characters are specific and compelling and the setting of the piece is so distinct it almost becomes it's own character.

    In THE LAST OF THE WILD BUFFALO, Ryan Patrick Welsh has created some wonderfully damaged and complicated characters, leading with the ugly sides first, and daring us to care deeply for them. It is a spectacular examination of the lengths we go to protect ourselves from vulnerability, fear, and shame and the facades we work so hard to build. With incredibly sharp and natural dialogue and so much going on just below the surface, these characters would be an absolute meal for an actor to play. This is one of those plays that sticks to your insides after it's over.

    There is so much packed in this short play! These two characters are so fully and completely formed, that I can feel the enormity of their characters even after only spending a few short minutes with them and they bring up some very important and timely thoughts regarding how people, all people, will be affected by this virus. This is a play set in a world where the virus exists, but it is more a reflection on humanity than the virus itself.

    A dynamic and engaging play with characters that are so specific and deliciously complicated. The characters in this play really are incredible and my heart reached out for each of them in completely different ways. I also really appreciate how the setting and environment of this play also felt like an additional character in itself.

    A sweet and lovely piece with dialogue that is both witty and intimate. You can tell how much these characters mean to one another despite the things said and unsaid that you find yourself rooting for this couple from the get-go.

    A beautiful and intimate portrayal of the things a family hides. Kendra's relationship to Issac is felt through every sentence that is both spoken and unspoken. It is powerful and dynamic and truly builds upon each scene. There are such wonderfully nuanced women in this show that would be a treat for any actress and E. E. Adams does an incredible job of deftly handling what life is like when dealing with anxiety and the stigmatization of caring for your mental health.

    A sweet and fun story about finding permission to love again!

    With The Waiting Room, Bruce Karp captures a heartbreaking snapshot of the moment we are currently living through.

    Oh. Wow. This monologue is absolutely stunning and heartbreaking and oh so beautiful. It gives the audience a chance to look at what goes through a father's mind in the aftermath of a miscarriage, something I admittedly had not considered much before until hearing these words but is something that will surely stick with me.
