A sweet metaphor about being in and staying in a relationship where someone considers themselves broken. Oddly touching, for a piece about a woman and her broken refrigerator.

An interesting piece about a bit of history I was not familiar with. Could have been dull, but Hoogendyk keeps the exposition flowing so it's not boring.

An hilarious and thoughtful presentation of the relationship between Alice B. Toklas and Gertrude Stein, done in the hyper-collage style of the latter. Full of wit and entertaining characters, meaning and identity fractures and repeats to breathless comic effect.

This play about gay men growing up and out of the harmful-but-fun adventures of their youth is full of heart and wisdom. It's also very funny and intriguing. Nothing else like it out there.

This is an interesting piece about a young man in the 1960s struggling with his newfound identity as a gay man contrasted with his responsibility for his younger sister who depends on him.

This is a very entertaining backstage comedy, where everyone's in love with the wrong person and no one can focus on the play that needs to get done. So much fun.

I've seen this play both in a reading and a fully staged production; it is smart and powerful and goes places you don't expect. What starts as a simple disagreement among civilized friends leads to important decisions when the stakes are raised. Highly recommended.

A charming short play about two men who’ve just discovered they’re half-brothers upon the death of their father. Both very aware of the place of “bastards” in literature in history, their quarrel makes for an entertaining piece.

Wonderfully theatrical play about a young man trying to santitize his Greek grandmother's past into a heartwarming story, but she has other plans; with the help of his old knock-off action figures, she brings him through the real pain of events. Smart, funny, and touching.
