What a delightful take on a romantic encounter. The characters and set-up are engaging and the pay off a true delight. There is a sweetness of spirit to the piece that enhances its many charms.

It's nice to see a relationship as tender and mutually supportive as Randy and Rod's. This sparkling comedy builds to a deeply satisfying surprise ending.

Irresistible force Kelly meets immoveable object Monica in this wild two-hander. The dialogue zings and the stakes grow high. These roles would be a gift to actors and this play a real treat for audiences.

It seems that poor Death is the victim of a clerical error. Their attempts to get Emily's demise back on track and her resistance are the witty core of this clever comedy.

I'm a sucker for an original holiday play and The Sanity Clauset sure fits the bill. It has an engaging mix of out there humor and real feeling. And I will never again view Groupon in the same way.

The lesson is if you want to be a successful cad, wash your own damn cape. Two women of vastly different life experience meet at a laundromat and find their lives changed by the meeting. That so much wit informs this piece (funny lines, funny props, funny situations) just gives the big reveal greater impact.

So much feeling and wisdom is packed into these ten rich pages. A family forms and endures through minor annoyances and major tragedy. The balance of humor and pathos is spot on. It is easy to see how this play has achieved such success and acclaim.

An old soul faces the burden of being paired with a new soul in this delightfully original comedy. The juxtaposition of Jordan's mounting frustration with Des's cluelessness provides many, many laughs.

Two young women meet in conflict, but come to discover their similarities and ultimately their mutual attraction. A lovely romantic comedy.

The sins of the past are never really behind us, as these four intriguing characters come to realize as this suspenseful narrative progresses. We are carried along with them on a tide of mounting tension. The final twist is unexpected and appropriately horrifying. A well-crafted haunting.
