    An incredibly touching play about additiction, chronic pain, and ultimately hope. Saari creates characters with nuance and compassion that are both heartbreaking and redemptive. The play’s grounded humor, authentic dialogue, and spiritual surrealism make it an emotionally resonant piece.

    An incredibly thoughtful and hilarious play. Taustin DePasquale writes such honest characters, which makes it challenging when you want to root for AND against them. I think that's what makes this play so powerful -- it's hard to pinpoint who really is in the wrong. It would leave an audience plenty to discuss on the drive home from the theater. Worthy of many productions!

    What a wonderfully unique two-hander! How deeply we want to hold onto the things we lost, but yet fail to realize we cannot begin the process of healing until we're finally ready to let go. Give this play a read!

    A very fun, thoughtful piece of meta theater that highlights the importance of purpose in the choices we make as writers/storytellers. McLachlan does an extremely good job at making each character unique despite them all nearly having the same name. Would make a great addition to any short play festival!

  • Cam Torres: A Better Ending for Widow Tweed by Tasha Partee

    This play hits in a couple ways. 1. I love 'The Fox and the Hound' was always one of my favorites as a kid. 2. I always LOVED Widow Tweed. She had this warmth and kindness to her that always felt comforting AND she's also very much a badass. 3. I had no idea her NAME was WIDOW TWEED! I love this play for lifting the hood and having fun with a character that, I imagine, given her own agency would do this exact thing. A fun play and great read.

    A really fun play that highlights marriage in an incredibly accurate light. The final line killed me!

    Wow. A masterful retelling of one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays. This play has the perfect balance of love, magic, and mystery. I will be keeping my eye out for more of Accuardi’s work. Bravo!
