Perfectly captures the ambiance, the tension, the expectation surrounding the ritual posting of the cast list. Not every cast list posting has such a happy ending. Many lovely opportunities for non-verbal reactions.

Levels within levels within levels. This is a complex and always absorbing depiction of ever shifting realities. In addition to the mystery of which narrative is "true," this play is bursting with humor, both in its depiction of two versions of the creative process and in its witty meta-theatrical moments.

Simultaneously charming and mysterious, Convergence takes an engagingly roundabout path to getting to the true spirit of Christmas. The family dynamics ring true and the appearance of the stranger is appropriately suspicious. Painful histories get sorted out, leading to a delightful ending.

Tense, eerie, and always gripping, this complex and vividly theatrical play explores family dynamics in a totally unique way. It is also a reflection on how we communicate on both a literal and metaphorical level. There is great craft and imagination manifested in this work.

This is a moving play of love discovered, love revealed, and love lost. A mother's grief is compounded by shock, but she is able to move to acceptance, however late, and regret for having kept a door closed for so long.

There's real texture and a true sense of shared history in the relationship between these two sisters. Life has been hard for them, making their struggle to connect all the more heart-rending. I hope the connection they eventually forge is enduring and sustaining, they deserve it.

The failure to fit in leads to an effort to get in in this warm and engaging two-hander. Kevin embodies the spirit of "go big or go home,' while Nick tries to bring him back to reality. I left the play hoping Kevin would get into Studio 54!

Aging isn't easy at any age. Ron and Skip are believable, complex characters coming to the end of a mutually beneficial relationship. The dialogue is crisp and witty and the narrative, full of twists and turns, is always engaging.

What seems like a benign haunting by a humorous spirit takes a chilling turn with a devastating reveal. This monologue certainly packs a punch.

A lovely meditation on the endurance of and unique ways to cope with grief. The dream logic allows for powerful and at times humorous reflection.
