Those moments of time that can change the very direction of your life-story are all laid out in this haunting short play, Still Time. You will never look at a diner the same way nor not question the imporancce of valuing every second of this precious life we have been given.

We all wish and want a friendship like the friendship between Zoe and Daphne. it's never easy to navigate so many things in our world and elementary school had to be one of the roughest places and yet looking back there were certainly magical bits and pieces like those bonds that you made with others that you carried through into junior and high school and that my friend, is a super power indeed.

Hero worship is something we all do as kids taking the form of hanging said hero's poster on the bedroom wall or knowing all the stats about this hero and at some point in our minds we do feel this worship deserves some sort of payout. In this twistedly funny and horrific tale, Vince and Violet have that payout and meet Keith and they realize that sometime heroes grow up too human with all their faults exposed but never to the worshiper's liking.

Being stuck in limbo might be a recurring nightmare for a lot of us but for a man like Izzy who seems so sure of himself in mind and spirit it might be just the purgatory he winds up in. This play says so much about what does make a country great and what values are the most important. It’s sad that Izzy felt he had to leave the US in search of greener pastures instead of trying to sew hope in his own country for everyone instead of the few.

How many times have we writers waited for that phone call or text message or email to say our play has been accepted into a festival? This play is all about the ups and downs after our writer Louise gets that joyous email and even if our playwright discovers that all that glitter isn’t necessarily gold we the audience do discover that theater even with all its madness can still manage to move us in ways that will surprise and delight us

A perfect play about never settling or giving into what the world and your mother and daughter would say about you bringing a little change into your day to day. This heartfelt piece delivers with such sincerity that you care so much about these two women and whether or not Sheila will be persuaded to to the Bachelorette party or not, providing that value of friendship and never being alone as we go through this world.

What is that saying about communication being the foundation of any good relationship. In Halloween Party we find out just how vital that is. A funny short piece that would be a welcome bright spot in any Halloween short play festival.

Like all good horror tales, this one will grab you from the very beginning and won't let go and just when you think you've made it through all the hurdles, your imagination will get the best of you just as the blackout occurs.

We all feel that we deserve rewards out of life and for many of us we hopefully do a few things along the way to earn them. Hanz definitely feels this way when he hears that his younger brother has died, but we get some hints that what front Hanz presents is not a true one and there is a perfect ending after his exit will leave you smiling and feeling that rewards this time around will be passed out fairly and justly.

What a beautiful monologue about woman's best friend. It will give you pause and make you so thankful for your own pet but also for the unconditional love they give to us all without any expectations except after you read this, you will never look at your pet the same way.
