  • The Hall of Final Ruin

    You don't have to be from Santa Fe to appreciate this enchanting play that mixes history, faith, magic, and wit to create a fun and engaging story. The six women that tell the tales are multi-faceted and intriguing, and I could feel the atmosphere of suspense and determination. La Tules is both charming and a wee bit scary, which means she has your attention from the first moment to the very last.
  • Go Ask D'Alice

    This is a delightful gem of a play that captures the imagination and gives us a peek inside a secret world built to protect a mother from the hard, cruel world. You will really enjoy this little visit with someone who is adept at coping in her own way, and the depth of understanding that grows with the visitor is conveyed with love. Any theatre would be honored to produce it.
  • Moon in a Barrel
    8 Oct. 2017
    This is a hilarious short play with characters that are both endearing and farcical. What could be an insult to the intelligence comes off as a delightful reflection on all of us, and the laughs are not cheap. The best part is that I want to get to know these people more and spend time with them. What a delight.

    The interaction between these two friends is so real that it made me laugh and cry. It's a touching story that anyone who has cherished a friend will connect with.
  • Scared of the Dark
    6 Oct. 2017
    What starts out as a business transaction turns into a touching and achingly real encounter between two lonely people who need each other. The best part is the deep dimensions of both characters come forward without being forced or without using the cliches that are associated with this kind of relationship. The best part is that Adam Seidel keeps you guessing up to the very end how it will turn out, and it works beautifully.
  • Pix of Your Partner's Privates

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and what could be exploitative and sordid to one person is endearing and reminiscent to another. This short play gives us a picture -- in more ways than one -- of how a relationship can be based on more than just words. It's also very funny and sharply written.
  • GLORIA STEINHEM & LOTTE LENYA & SCOUT ARE WAITING
    5 Oct. 2017
    I'm a sucker for anything to do with dogs and this gem has three wonderful characters whose view of life and living is as varied as the icons they're named after. There's touching moments and lots of laughs, too. This is a perfect little ensemble piece.
  • Hocking Murray
    5 Oct. 2017
    This is a sharp, funny, and yet poignant play that will make you smile and chuckle but also make you think about what's important in life... and after. A diamond in the rough, so to speak.
  • ROOF!
    31 Jul. 2017
    This is a fresh and lively play with a touching story of love, loss, and friendship. You don't have to be from Miami to appreciate the characters and their interaction, and the obvious love the playwright has for his characters and their deep connection will touch you, make you laugh, and feel them deeply.
  • Flying Solo
    14 Sep. 2016
    This is a fun piece that looks lovingly at the devoted fans of a certain cultural phenomenon and the people who devote themselves to it. You don't have to be a nerd to understand the inspiration and the obsession and how it can change the lives of those who love it. DC Cathro treats his characters with respect and affection.
