"With a small cast of only four people and a single letter title, Jeff Talbott’s play "i" might seem small, but the issues it addresses are big and relatable. . . . Subtle and witty commentary on how the world interacts with technology and the possibilities and dangers of its evolution serve as an intriguing lead to the story, but the intense and emotional dialogue about the complexities of human relationships is what really connects the audience to her story and gives it meaning. . . . Compelling . . . "i" offers a big truth for audiences to walk away with."
--Deseret News, Aubrey Eyre

"In truth, there are not any “i” plot details that can be revealed, without spoiling audiences’ enjoyment as the playwright’s intentions are slowly, cleverly, wondrously revealed. . . . "i" is a complete delight. . . . Surprising for its originality and intriguing for its structure, “i” is deeply gratifying theater."
--Broadway World, Blair Howell

"Elements of science fiction weave their way through the story, but like the best science fiction, the high-concept premise really becomes a way to explore something about humanity in an allegorical way. . . . Talbott’s script is sharp and perceptive, savvy about the ways that technological advances inevitably come with consequences . . . While it might be unfair to say too much to a potential viewer about what "i" is about, it’s the kind of thought-provoking theater that’s exactly right for the kind of person who’s willing to turn themselves over to the artists. Maybe that’s a perfect summary for a play that wrestles with taking a risk on what you know, and what you don’t know."
--City Weekly, Scott Renshaw

"Gripping . . . "i" defies genre labeling and yet feels familiar; it is engaging and thought-provoking . . . The most moving, accurate and impassioned portrayal of absolute heartache that I have ever seen on a stage . . . It isn't every day a new play makes you really consider some heavy and heady questions, and it's even rarer when questions are posed without an agenda. "i" asks a lot, but it never tells you what you should think or how you should feel."
--Utah Theatre Bloggers, Megan Crivello

Yasmine and Nick are forming action groups in two different universities.  They've surrounded themselves with like-minded folks and are getting ready to lay down some rules of governance.  But what seemed so easy in theory is proving to be a completely different story in practice.  Tempers flare and words fly, but none of them seem to be ending up on paper.  Two stories.  One story.  Their story.  Our story.  A thorny comic drama about getting things started.

Every Sunday after church, Greer and Ash come to the same diner to catch up on the week and bolster each other to deal with the world. But this Sunday, as they both are wrestling with the question of how to carry the goodness they talk about into action, Ash impulsively leaves a $10,000 tip for their regular waitress, Nadia. Samaritans is an exploration of the nature of a good deed and its effects on those it touches - is a good deed still a good deed if the giver can’t seem to let it go? And, more importantly, is it actually ever possible to say “I’m sorry” and fully mean it?

Douglas Barnes has a job.  It's not the job his wife thinks he has.  Doug is the guy who gets information out of people by any means necessary.  But balancing his work life and his home life is taking its toll on him, as one particularly hard-to-crack detainee is making it hard for him to concentrate at home or in life.  Three Rules for the Dragon is an intense and probing new drama about two men locked in the eternal struggle to get information, and the marriage that hangs in the balance between them.

It's the middle of the night, and Davis has something on his mind.  Months ago, he agreed to let his Alzheimer's-afflicted father move in with him when his mom couldn't do it anymore.  But it's proving to be a tougher job than he expected, and he's having a hard time leaning on his friends to make it work.  And his boyfriend is starting to lose long-held patience with the situation.  So here it is, 2 a.m., and Davis is trying to work it out through his sleep-deprived eyes.  How to Build a City is a serious comedy about the family we have and the family we make, and how to recognize they're exactly the same thing.

Elliot is a clock-puncher, looking for the end of the day and a margarita with his co-workers to celebrate one more day on the job.  But Elliot has secrets.  Elliot isn't what he seems.  And everybody is about to find out, one way or the other.  Look out everybody.  Here comes Elliot, a black-as-ink and shocking comedy/drama about how little we know each other, and the cost of actually trying to fix that problem.

Music & Lyrics by Will Van Dyke/Book & Lyrics by Jeff Talbott - fuzzy is the story of a furry little creature (named Fuzzy) who has come home to take care of their currently-ailing mother (named Muzzy). fuzzy is also the story of a storyteller we’ll call The Human, who has come to a theatre to tell the story of a furry little creature who . . . you get the gist. A teeny tiny musical (with puppets! lots and lots of puppets!) about great big things, fuzzy is mostly a story about stories themselves - why we tell them, how we tell them and what happens to a group of people listening when we do.

Music & Lyrics by Will Van Dyke/Book & Lyrics by Jeff Talbott - Set in the Nebraska Territories in the 1850's, Wintersong tells the story of Leo Harper, a homesteader with a lot to love and a lot to lose. He came west with his wife and his brother, and they are making a go of it - but Leo is his own worst enemy and can't control his suspicious thoughts. In a land where emotions are as limitless as the sky, Leo needs to learn that joy comes at the cost of abandoning jealousy before it is too late. And that love requires you to awaken your faith.
