  • Paul Donnelly: Ms. Claus by Patrick Gabridge
    “

    A charming reconsideration of what it really takes to be Santa Claus. Turns out gender is not important at all.

  • Paul Donnelly: PASS THE AGGREVATION by Jack Levine
    “

    A delicious comedy about the family dinner from hell. Self-absorbed parents who ironically think of themselves as great communicators completely ignore their daughter's attempt to share the biggest news of her life. Poor Leah's increasingly desperate efforts to make herself heard are no match for the comical indifference of her frustrating parents.

    What starts as an amusing take on enduring human vanity blossoms into a sweet take on the enduring nature of love. Eternity deserves continuing presentation and success!

    An elegant and engaging battle of wills between two vividly imagined characters.The subtext is rich and fraught, building to a final decisive power shift thanks to a pair of earrings (Harry Winston, no less!).

  • Paul Donnelly: 2 B or Nah: Sexting Hamlet: A 10-Minute Play by Donna Latham
    “

    A witty premise, wittily rendered. The juxtaposition of contemporary references and Shakespearean text is sublime. The final reversal is the perfect button on this delight-filled comedy.

  • Paul Donnelly: with the swallows by Ricky J. Martinez
    “

    A riveting and mystical tale of family healing. Populated with four vivid and complex characters offering very different views of family dynamics. The smart and crackling dialogue keeps the action moving at a brisk clip. The setting in the Idaho woods provides a vivid backdrop and offers its own spiritual dimension. All these elements blend into a compelling theatrical whole.

    Kaminski takes us on a witty and noirish ride on the Staten Island Ferry. Great fun as a mystery and as a character study.

    What a scrumptious delight. This sweet natured piece offers a very funny look at a very different, yet still difficult, sort of coming out. The lovely resolution is heartening and earned.
