    Heartbreaking but in the best way. Martin handles this tender subject beautifully.

    So silly, goofy, and deep. Live. Laugh. Watermelon.*

    *My undergraduate students say I should clarify that they are, in fact, the ones who wrote this recommendation. Clearly, this play speaks to Gen Z.

    This would be a great option for young performers and more 'seasoned' performers alike. It uses the best of comedy and horror to create a unique multi-genre story. There are lots of opportunities for unconventional movement work and other interesting directorial visions.

    This play takes on the difficult intersection between gun control issues and police violence against Black folks -- along with other nuanced issues that come from living in our world today. Conyer Lee takes all of these ideas on with humor and humanity, leaving the audience with a lot to think about.

    I listened to this on Gather by the Ghost Light and it's just lovely. A sweet moment between two complex people, it's easy to stage and gives you good stuff to work with. Check it out!

    This show shares an interesting perspective on the Hawaiian experience. The stakes are high, which makes the exchange between these two women poignant and strong.
  • A TRICK OF THE LIGHT

    A fun, light (if you'll pardon the pun) piece about getting older. It's sure to make you smile!
