An eye-opening look at a captivating historical figure! I wasn’t familiar with Nancy Wake before reading this, but now I want to know more. An intriguing WWII tale!

An unusual - but thematically important!- superhero story! Bullies get their comeuppances here, which is always a delight to see. Childish in both the best and worst ways, this piece transported me right back to the playground. Great work!

A clever companion piece to a beloved classic! A witty, absurd delight!

A wonderfully demented premise! A wholly effective - and hilarious- play about family, business, and pleasure. A treat for audiences, topped with chocolate syrup!

The funniest police interrogation you’ll ever see! A blend of different genres, this play is comedy gold- a truly fun piece of theater that will have audiences dying with laughter!

A short but wild and engaging ride! The answer to ‘What is going on???’ is not what I expected at all. Humorous, dark, and surprising!

I love stories like this, where something innocent (i.e. a children’s game) is twisted into something sinister! ‘Simon Says’ is a creepy exploration of terrifying, hidden power, and I enjoyed listening to it all unfold on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast!

A clever one-minute play, with a delightful reveal at script’s end! Sure to be a hit at many future fests!

Not just an eerie tale of alien invasion! Also an interesting sci-fi vision of the future directly commenting on our current political climate and its effects on family and friends.

A clever piece inspired by Poe’s ‘The Raven’! I loved this modern reimagining of the poem, its impressive use of verse, and that it includes humor, too. Poe-fection!
