  • The COVIDs of March
    24 Mar. 2020
    Greg Lam assembled 8 playwrights from around the country to write this play in one afternoon. The process was fascinating to experience as the next scene was started before the ones before it were finished. Miraculously, it all came together and was performed in the same day by a troupe of equally impressive actors.
  • Phillie's Trilogy
    25 Aug. 2019
    It is clear to see why "Phillie's Trilogy" by Doug DeVita has been so highly praised. As a guy who grew up in the 70’s the play rings true with well-developed characters and sharp dialogue that brings back memories and delivers a satisfying and engaging theatrical experience.
  • TABLE MANNERS IN HELL'S KITCHEN
    23 Aug. 2019
    Tight and sharp dialogue and colorful characters create a story about human relationships that hits home. Exactly right for today’s world.
  • Lost Sock Laundry

    A moving story with very developed and interesting characters dealing with very real prejudices, problems and concerns. Very compelling, very timely.
  • Flight

    A fascinating study of the human experience. Full of twists and surprises. The kind of play you’ll think about for a long time after the final blackout.
  • GIRL BEFORE A MIRROR
    29 Jun. 2019
    Beautifully written. Totally absorbing. A wonderful look at the emotions of the moment versus the
    immortality created by a painting that will be viewed for centuries. It is a charming, sweet and innocent piece.
  • AFTER THE DISSOLUTION
    29 Jun. 2019
    A sad, truthful look at a marriage long past its prime. Martha Patterson creates a tough situation and does not wimp out with a “happy ending”. In fact, by allowing the events to run their course, the lead characters will probably, in fact, be happier after the curtain falls then they would have been with a temporary resolution.

    Fun , fast and completely believe-able. The characters are interesting and recognizable, the dialog is sharp and witty and the scene is one we can easily imagine. A comic workout set in a gym. Great fun.
  • LIGHT MY FIRE

    Carol Wendy Berman takes us on a magic carpet ride back to the sixties. The blast form the past not only restores powerful memories, its characters are people who take us into the story and make us care deeply about what may happen to them. At times funny..at times tragic and always fully engaging. Highly recommended.
  • OINK (re-titled)
    29 Jun. 2019
    Martha Patterson has done it again. She manages to create a captivating and compelling dramatic tension, utilizing interesting characters that we feel we know from the get-go, and takes on a ride that we both enjoy and learn from. What makes it all that much more impressive...she does this in a Five-Minute play! "NO PLACE LIKE HOME” is the most fun one can have in five minutes!
