  • The System
    16 Jun. 2023
    Can we read the outcome of a trial based on how the cross examination works, or how long the jury takes to deliberate? This tense waiting game that the defendant goes through has an energy packed arc of anticipation, dread, and game play. Does he make the right choice: take the plea deal or wait for the verdict?

    This scathing indictment of corporate greed rings true while being a fun and theatrical romp. The characters call out the absurdity of corporate policies towards their low level workers in a riveting fast paced banter. So many possibilities for an entertaining production. Imaginative and relevant.

    Oh the crazy things friends will do for each other. This is a terrific two hander for ladies of a certain age and a wicked sense of humor. I’d love to see it at a festival!
  • I Have No Words

    You cannot understand what the people are going through from listening to the news, but this string of text messages creates a stark and emotional monologue that will leave you breathless and in tears. It is emotional and raw, with the perspective of youth and innocence destroyed by a madman's unrelenting attempts to overtake her homeland. Her unwavering devotion to her country, her suffering, her determination and frankness will bring a new perspective to this conflict. Powerful, shocking, and enlightening.

    Be careful who you bully! Jarrod has found a way to deal with him that is a gasp worthy twist, and the play has a great last line. This play would be perfect for a Halloween or horror fest. The audience will squirm in their seats!
  • A Certain Pedigree

    What a lovely dog-gone play! Really though, it is a wonderful way to teach tolerance, and I'd love to see it done for Theater for Young Audiences. Acceptance, belonging, supporting, and encouraging all wrapped into ten minutes.

    Oh my gosh! Too fun! What fourth or fifth grader with a pun obsession wouldn't love this little gem! And the punchline at the end will leave you groaning in the best way. A fun classroom project, including student made costumes. A silly romp that will ap-pease the teacher and parents as well.
  • Playwrights Versus Zombies!

    Two worst case scenarios: trying to untangle a complicated plot in their script, and trying to survive the zombie apocalypse. And these writers take us on a roller coaster ride of fun! What a terrific, silly, dark, and fast paced romp of a horror story. Your audience will love it!

    This poignant, sometimes painful situation of a Mother who is confronted with the reality of her son’s fate is deftly crafted with heart-wrenching honesty. Bruce Karp has honed this beautiful and moving piece into a rare gem, all while avoiding the typical stereotypes of both parent and son. When the play finished, there was a moment of silence as it sank in. Gripping.

    What a fun thriller! What is worse, getting away with murder or lowering yourself his level? Is revenge worth it or is he just a fast talker? A fun roller coaster ride throughout.
