The witty dialogue, peppered with clever puns and humorous asides, keeps the audience engaged and eager for more. Standout performances include the dynamic exchanges between Mr. and Mrs. Mandelbread, whose bickering and banter are reminiscent of classic comedic duos. Very enjoyable.

From the first page, I was hooked. Andrea Lepcio's The Last Jew tells a story about not just Jews, but about humanity and the forces that would tear that apart. The Last Jew is vital and frightening. The questions this play asks should all make us think about our hidden and obvious prejudices. This play reminds us to stand together and be counted in the fight against racism, antisemitism and prejudice.

Asher's unique and sweet monologue delivers a story every bit as endearing as it is powerful, making it one of his best original monologues ever. This one-person dramatic play would work well with an evening of other plays for both high-school and college students.

Prescription medication prices are forcing many elderly to risk going into Mexico for their pills. Many elderly gamble with their health by taking the chance with these drugs. Sally Jane has cleverly taken a serious subject and flipped it into a delightful comedy. Perfect roles for mature women (seniors).

I loved this play. As the storm overtakes Matt's life while he attempts to assist Jesse excel in school, he faces homophobia and rejection. Rowan's characters feel real and authentic. His take on "middle America" is reflective of my America.

The Brock Battle Show takes a light look at the assumptions, and pressures of being a man, and what it means to be a man today. Bardin carefully addresses toxic masculinity, and the pressures of society on the definition of manliness in this quick short with two strong roles for men. The short is easy to stage and fun to produce.
