The spirit of Katherine Hepburn rings absolutely true in this charming comedy of ghostly apparition. There is much humor mined from the sacrifices Nicky has made to rent this apartment and the ghost of Katherine Hepburn's understanding of modern technology ("I'm dead, not stupid."). If she follows Hepburn's wise counsel, Nicky is bound for a happy life with or without stardom.

This is a unique rom-com addressing the many complications following a one night stand. The twists and turns of the narrative are consistently funny, reversal following reversal in escalating lunacy. I felt I shared a certain credulousness with the titular Ed by the end of the play.

What a witty look at the one minute play form in the form of a one minute play. Yet there's time for a clever set-up and a surprising resolution. The dialogue is crisp and engaging. The whole brief play is a thorough charmer.

How do you have a hook-up with someone who speaks in Seussified rhyme? It's definitely possible in this clever play that moves deftly from comedy to darkness. It also contains the funniest Lorax reference you will ever hear.

Well that was bonkers, in the best possible way. From giddy set up to hysterical reveal this play offers non-stop laughs.

Hilarious from the opening line to the ultimate resolution. The classic confrontation between the talentless would-be actor and the weary director is presented on steroids. And oh the twist! There's so much to delight in this riotous short.

Devious Dan plays on all the competitors' strengths and weaknesses to manipulate the selection of Homecoming Queen. So many tropes of high school life are explored and exploded. And each of the characters are well drawn and easy to hiss or applaud as appropriate. This is a charming play without a facile moral.

The stakes are high and the suspense crescendos in this riveting narrative. So much pain and history are explored before the even more suspenseful conclusion. This is a splendid use of the ten-minute form.

Harrowing and real, this monologue reflects the constrained and fearful reality in which women have to live for their own safety. It also asks the heartbreaking question, "When is somebody gonna teach creeps not to rape?" STAYIN' ALIVE makes clear that until that halcyon day women are trapped in a state of eternal vigilance.

This is a witty and moving reimagining of the tale of Sleeping Beauty. Both Aurora and Phillip are complex and sympathetic characters and their ultimate bonding represents a triumph of simple human decency.
