“ Kate's sense of comedy starts with the name she gives her lumberjack character: Margie Goodwood and her chainsaw Bubba. Margie, who likes "the smell of turpentine and grease rags" and whose backwoods experience could rival Paul Bunyan's is overqualified for the job at Smith's school. "We're just looking for someone who knows how to build houses out of popsickle sticks." The principal, who comes off as a milquetoast, undergoes a transformation by the end of this short play. Fun! ”

“ A wrenching reunion of three siblings that gather after their mother's suicide. With a backdrop of a storm brewing, they clash like thunder over past hurts. Amidst all that, there's poetry, concern for the environment which has been devastated by tourism and development and ...each other. Svich creates a haunting sense of place and a rattling of the emotions. ”

“ Simple set, good stage directions and subtext. The salesperson's asides get crueler as the play progresses. I feel for her. Believable. ”

“ Funny short play about two ghosts in training, one of whom is more concerned about the consequences of having his mask cause a bad hair day than following Frightology rules. Sharp contrast between him and another ghost that's supposed to be teaching him scare tactics. Clever names for the characters who also do a great job of engaging the audience. Nice twist at the end. ”
