  • Gun Play
    19 Jan. 2019
    What a play. Dunn makes you feel like you're falling down the Twilight Zone spiral with the surreal actions of the Man and Woman, puling us in with that surreality that only leads the reader and audience to what becomes a terribly real ending that's become oh too familiar in our nation. A must read for anyone and a must have addition to any festival.
  • The Games We Play
    18 Jan. 2019
    Bohannon captures such grief in all its raw form at the end of this brilliant play. The fact that we have this face we are supposed to show to the world is so present at the beginning and then the grief that we are not supposed to show comes roaring out of A and C. Their heart-felt lines at the end of the play that they want their dad back should be call enough to end all of this madness once and for all.
  • Ready Betty
    11 Jan. 2019
    This is a funny, funny play! I love the humor and physical comedy and what a treat for anyone to perform and/or see! I wanted this one to keep on going because it's that good and congratulate Dames on creating an original in Ready Betty.
  • BRUCE: A MONOLOGUE FOR A GAY SENIOR 70+
    19 Dec. 2018
    I want more of Bruce! There is so much truth spilling from his mouth out near the dance floor that they will be sweeping it up for years to come. Youth is a time for great learning and we seem to always repeat in this society the thing about being pricks toward those who are of an older age then us, really through all of our life--what I would really like to see is what Bruce is asking for--respect for seniors but starting from day one when you're born and learning what respect should be about because Bruce knows!
  • ¡Oso Fabuloso & The Bear Backs!
    14 Dec. 2018
    I really enjoyed this play and would love to see it on the stage I mean it has everything a gay man could want from life: bears, a musical, back-up singers called the Bear Backs, a therapist asking all the hard questions about Oso's love affair and the love affair itself that seems all too familiar for so many but done with the levity that only bears could provide!
  • Oh, No! I Flew Too Close to the Sun!
    14 Dec. 2018
    Delightful and entertaining. I wished I had gotten to see it in Edmunds when it was there during their 10-minute festival.
  • The Thought Doesn't Count
    13 Dec. 2018
    Another emotional journey from Hageman who gives her characters such depth in such a short space. This play packs a wollop and leaves such a lump in the throat but I like that love and determination win out in the end
  • M and The Water Man
    13 Dec. 2018
    My aboute favorite episode on the Twilight Zone is the Midnight Sun and Vaughn writes what could be a sequel to that television classic here with M and the Water Man. A continuation of that theme of the world moving closer to the sun and yet the nightmare doesn’t go away as with that television show but stays with you at the end. Well done!
  • A Kiss is Just a Kiss
    11 Dec. 2018
    What a beautiful and oh so touching ode to change. This speaks so much to me to the possibilities still out there for each of us as we grow older. So much of the world revolves around the here and now of youth and those wonderful years, but not enough is written about this age group and Hass presents such a tribute to one woman and man, but what impresses me most is the ending and Eva's desire to see the world that she's never explored and that change is always possible!
  • You'll Go Down in History
    9 Dec. 2018
    What better way to celebrate Christmas than breaking parts of it all down in this funny and touching new holiday play by Hageman. I love the set-up of Rudy doing time in prison and Nick coming to visit him. As we all know, the holidays are a mixed blessing on any good day, but when you have a silver and gold nugget like this one to help sooth the Christmas blues, then that just might be the miracle of Christmas after all that's said and done.
