    Oh, man. There's real depth to this very short play, and very real, understandable hurt. Big impact for 5 pages.

    A fun, inventive, thoroughly charming dialogue-free play about the ... bears and the bees (I'm sorry, I couldn't help it). Such a good time! I yearn to hear "bearspeak!"

    Of the many, many things I love about this play, perhaps my single favorite is how clear I am on the kind of people Kate and Holly are, and are not. I was immediately hooked by this friendship -- every Kate needs a tethering Holly, and every Holly could use a Don Quixote-ish Kate. Brava, Feriend! A terrific, terrific play.

    Touching, deeply felt, lovely. And the most wonderful final line. Brava.

    Billy is IN IT TO WIN IT. A poor sport? Perhaps. Obtuse to the point of absurdity? Clearly, but absurdity is the whole point in Norkin's riff on the title. Such fun! Would love to see the folding action staged.

    Make it stop (and by "it" I mean "technology's inapt attempts to make our lives better by misunderstanding what we want, in ways that occasionally feel fully intentional"). But never let Busser stop writing reflections on the above! Wonderful and silly and fun.

    The blend of joy and rue is just right in Cole's short play. Kat and Stella's father is ever present in the (wonderfully dreadful) puns that run like a vein of love throughout.

    A charmer. Lee and Alex struggle with that age-old dilemma of a parent needing to acknowledge that their kid just might be getting smarter and more whole. A great relationship between two stubborn, loving people.

    We are all every one of the thirty-seven bees in Alles’s short play, and it’s a wonderful meditation on both dogged pursuit and meditative reflection — the necessity of each. Lovely.

    “

    Teen solo ice dancing, combined with skincare influencing, combined with a refugee, combined with friendships breaking apart and forming in real time? SIGN. ME. UP. Kantor's signature vivacity has never felt more potent than in this dissection of competition and power dynamics among some devotees of what can best be called a niche sporting event.
