This is a witty and engaging spoof riffing off Waiting for Godot. The characters each have their own unique quirks and foibles that are quite funny in and of themselves and even funnier as they bounce off one another. And I will never see Meryl Streep again without thinking of Michael Caine.

What a fresh and surprising look at the complexity of attraction. Among these three characters we experience the fear of taking risks, the willingness to attempt risks, and the value of acceptance. These are vivid, complex, and engaging characters. It was a real joy to share their most intriguing journeys.

Three fully realized and engaging characters deal with the fears that keep people in the closet and the exhilaration of finally coming out. Each of these three dimensional characters has a unique voice and a unique perspective. Brett's journey from fear to freedom is a joy to behold.

Students attempting to actually study in a library take matters into their own hands when Luke refuses to cease loud conversations on his cell phone. Luke is the perfect narcissist, self-centered, self-satisfied, and self-absorbed. His phone conversations are hysterically funny, but clearly disruptive to the peace and quiet of the library. It's fun to watch the other students' frustration build and highly satisfying to see Luke get his just deserts.

Well I finally understand the festival obsession with world premieres. I knew there had to be some sort of reasonable explanation. And if Target Audience doesn't offer a reasonable one, it certainly offers a hilarious one.

As these dudes attempt to abide, the laughs abound. If Dave could spell, the world be have been denied this hilarious farce. Dave and Buster take cluelessness to dizzying heights. When Lurleen arrives the comic misunderstanding escalates until Lurleen is able to make Buster see the allure of satin worship. I can't tell you the number of times I laughed out loud.

Is love really about winners and losers? What seems like a funny meditation on Geek-love is upended by a dark twist at the end. A compelling, engaging, and ultimately a little cynical work.

A touching kaleidoscope of responses to the AIDS Memorial Quilt. There is a bracing absence of sentimentality in some of the responses, as well as moving personal connections in others. A fine and moving piece of work.

We may not be able to call him "Cupid," but we can certainly call him careless. When Eros shoots the wrong arrow and kills a man instead of causing him to fall in love, his troubles are just beginning. It is really amusing to watch the deceased's girlfriend and her roommate make him pay in spades.

I just had the pleasure of hearing this play read on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast. It offers a witty take on an obsession with Sci-Fi carried to an extreme and on the vagaries of young love. It also has a terrific and surprising twist-ending. All-in-all, the play is a real treat.
