I got to the end of this short play and said, out loud, "Oh, don't stop!" But that is the beauty of this piece; it leaves you with so many questions and possibilities. It's a mystery, and like many tantalizing tales, it leaves you not just wanting more, but with room to fill in the pieces with your own vivid images along with those that Scott Sickles has created.

This is a fun short play about messing with the temporal prime directive at the behest of a talking cat and an anxious grad student. (We've all been there, right?) Much can happen in a time-shifted moment in British history, and who's to say that this isn't how we really got here anyway? As is the case with Dominica Plummer's work, the dialogue is snappy and the characters are going to be fun to see on the stage.

The conundrum that time-travel presents is what happens when you go back into the past and change the future so when you come back and something never happened, then how do you know to go back and fix the past? Still with me? That is only one small part of the fun that John Busser has created with this madcap farce in a science lab being run by a team of out of a screwball comedy. The jokes and cultural references fly like time's arrow. Great work for a comedy troupe.

There's a gentle touch of absurdism running through this funny little play that makes it all work, and Jack Levine takes extra special care to treat his slightly daffy couple with love. The idea of having their own special island isn't just a real place; it's a comment on how they've lived their life together and made it to forty years of being blissfully unaware of anything much beyond their vision of paradise.

Paul Donnelly provides us with a charming little moment where two lonely souls find each other under rather unusual circumstances. It’s touching, and very real.

This is what happens when you do magic mushrooms in the garden section of your local Home Depot...

Actually, the glorious imagination and word-smithing of Scott Sickles gives us a fun adventure amid the mixture of fantasy and home improvement. A lot of fun and laughter and even a tad erotic...

The most powerful element of this short play about abuse is that it is told in such a calm and direct way, leaving the tension and the trauma of the event build in the mind of the audience, each one of us visualizing or recalling our own experience. That alone makes this piece worth producing, and the unflinching way Bryan Stubbles deals with the subject matter is powerful.

Despite the fact that the TMNT culture came along when I was way too old for them, I still recognize and remember the feeling that I had with touchstones of my childhood. Evan Baughman makes these characters relatable and lovable even to this old gaffer. Love and friendship doesn't need a season or jargon to come through and make you nod and smile at the all-too-familiar need for connection and understanding. Right on, dudes!

This is a gem of a fast-paced play that would be unforgettable, even if the story is about short-term memory loss, and Stephen Kaplan does it with such wit and drop-dead style that's perfect for the genre; everything works exactly right. This is a gem of a fast-paced play that would be unforgettable... wait, what?

I had to stop reading this play and walk away for a moment because it hit so close to what I went through with a friend and colleague in the same situation. But I came back and read it again, making it through because it needs to be heard, needs to be told, and I would go through it all again to make sure that the world never forgets. Especially now. Thank you, Paul.
