At the center of Consolation is the complex and multilayered Melanie--whose attempts to bring her friend at ease at a time of great vulnerability reveals both her strengths and weaknesses. A raw, exposed nerve of a monologue that would a challenging gem for any performer.

Flight is an understated play that soars. The search for identity and meaning that's at the center of the piece offers no simple solutions, instead, it gives the reader/audience insight into the existential challenges of living in-between two cultures. Naturalistic, lyrical and truly unforgettable writing.

A poignant portrait of loss. I'd consider this a perfect one-minute play.

Sometimes literal is the most dramatic thing that can happen. This piece is like a surrealist poem come to life. A beauty of a play.

An almost fable-like one-minute piece that reflects our current societal climate while also tapping into more timeless themes of the human condition. Very effective and thought-provoking.

I love that this short piece is both abstractly untethered to a specific time or place, but also feels like it was written for this very moment. Like a Twilight Zone episode boiled down to its very essence.

A stage poem of hope, fear and survival. This is short-form writing at its best. Highly recommended.

The best art forces us to see the world in a new way. This delightfully disorienting play accomplishes that in record time. Very fun!

A subtle and moving Pandemic Play that gives voice to the losses that are less tangible yet deeply significant.

Laugh out loud funny, with real insight into the minds of pet owners. Four out of four enthusiastic paws, I mean stars.
