If Sunday school had been like this, I'd have gone more. Matthew Weaver's unique abilities as a storyteller are on full display for children and adults alike in this take on Noah's Ark, and it's all fun and mirth from start to finish.

Love is not only blind, it's desperate. But you can't help but smile and laugh as Timothy and Kay figure out the perfect wedding under trying circumstances, doggoneit!

Some of the greatest slapstick comedy ever created was done in silence. Think of Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Lucille Ball, Ernie Kovacs. Matthew Weaver gives us a waltz of the flours and it is all good fun with nary a word spoken. I would love to see this fully staged, and you would, too.

This is a choral piece in every sense of the idea of thoughts -- similar, disparate, aching, loving, longing -- all coming together in a rhythm as natural as life and as vital. The imagination of how it would be staged is limitless because of its simplicity and meaning.

A loving and touching tribute to a friend, spoken from the heart, and sharing a bond of music that even a non-musician can understand and appreciate. Robert Weibezahl's graceful way with words weaves the grief through the monologue like a continuo that underscores the friendship, and we can hear the music that they shared. A lovely piece.

I liked "Page Count" very much, especially with Kerr Lockhart's great way with the atmosphere and dialogue. This expanded version of the story goes into a realm of reality and internal imagination that adds dimension to both Ben and Joe, and the questions that are raised are all too familiar and challenging for writers and, to be honest, anyone who ever wonders what they're doing with their life. It's a masterful story told in an appealing and engaging way, and the actors who get to do it will have so much fun.

This moment captures the stream-of-conscious that we all go through. C'mon, admit it: you do. And the anticipation that is building up in this reunion is so revealing, so honest, so vulnerable. Elisabeth Giffin Speckman has a wonderful ear for dialogue, both internal and external.

This is a real love story. No, not that kind, but the kind that brothers share as they learn what they have in common when all of the outward signs say they are polar opposites. The dialogue is just wonderful, the characters of Sam and James are achingly real, and the situation that could lead to all sorts of farcical situations is handled with style and good humor. I would love to see this on the stage, and I know the actors would really love performing it.

Oh, waiter, there's an AR-15 in my soup...

This is Scott Sickles' great sense of humor and proportion on full display, and what could be a horrible tragedy turns out to be just a late arrival at the reception. Fun is on the menu -- I got hungry just reading it -- and of course there's a dash of danger and allure and even romance in this quick trip to the catering tent. Bon appetit!

This is one of those plays that you're going to remember with a grin. The imagination of John Bavoso creates a perfect place for storing those imaginary friends that are more real than the real friends.
