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!

Delightful and entertaining. I wished I had gotten to see it in Edmunds when it was there during their 10-minute festival.

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

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!

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!

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.

What a powerful play and full of the brilliance that I have come to recognize with all of Wyndham's writing. A recent horrible and dark episode of our history dragged into the light by this playwright's mighty sword. Once again I am left in awe of the passion behind the writing.

What a delight! Irreverently funny and just a hoot to read on the page. I love the setup of the nursery rhyme sliding into the gutter that would make Richard Pryor proud. This would make a great addition to any short play festival. I was laughing throughout but have to say my favorite line was "I’ve never been so offended, and I’ve worked with John Mayer!" Can't wait to read more August!

I had the privilege and honor of seeing this performed at the Funhouse on Saturday and it was one of my favorite pieces of the night. The play is a nearly perfect short play and the actors and direction and everything about the production were just spot on. What a treat! I can't wait to read other works by Baron.

There is such poetic power to this monologue and Diamond brings such realism to Pria Kaul's words that they take on such a calm ferocity that the reader is left with a rage that such evil can exist. I am in awe of what Diamond does with the onion and what it conjures up in the reader's mind as the monologue continues. You can smell is so powerfully, that burning of it as it spreads across your soul and Kaul's last words are hung with such truth that you take that on as your own.
