Wow!!! this the featured play of the day for me and I'm so glad it was. I am not the biggest Shakespeare fan generally but I love what Accuardi has done with this Sonnet and the play that was inspired by that sonnet. Feeling like an intruder on a couple's very private issues and then feeling that fear creep up your spine as you realize the shift and where the ending is going you feel like you've got call the police and have them pick up this man for his conduct and rude behavior.

What a treat. My Sundays growing up were all about church and having to get up no different from the rest of the week. Parenthood can leave anyone as "out of it" as the Mum in this short play. Her increased urgency is almost painful to watch as you have all these awful thoughts going on in your head about what's happened to Billy and then the wonderful ending which sends a sense of calm throughout your body.

So many times, reality and fantasy are a blur on the best of days, but I love this idea where you fantasies can become your reality and everything you had hoped in the one relationship can be re purposed for the Fantastic where your happily ever after can arranged the way you want it to be.

In your face truth is never easy to take and in Wyndham's Auctioneer, your face soon feels like it was pummeled with so much truth that you can't take anymore. But wait, there is more, because at the end not only is your face hurting with the facts, but your heart should be hurting as well and it will be if you have just half a heart in you that beats emphatically.

Human greed has been the downfall of so may people in the world, and this ten minute play, Pithole shows that story when it comes to the greed for the black gold. I love the Players standing around telling about the rise and fall of this town called Pithole and the tragedy of it's fall played out by this Greek chorus of players or possibly ghosts that were left behind in it's ruin.

Commitments in relationships can be one of the toughest things about them to do, and once you are in a so-called committed relationship, as the stakes get higher and you want to take it the next level like Mike does, it's scary as hell to think about all the pros and cons and oh by the way, knowing your girlfriend is a werewolf would raise the stakes a little higher on whether or not you can actually go through with it in the end

Sometimes it's the awkwardness that makes us fall in love with another person or crab and sometimes it's just that that person likes the same dance that we do and isn't that connection enough for the long-haul!

Sometimes, it's better to drink some of the Manischewitz before you go visit your parents and possibly in-laws as you just never what's going to happen during the holidays if you don't. If ever there was a cautionary tale about meeting your boy or girl friend's family, it's Lipschutz's delightful and oh so funny play. Sometimes, a person's private life should be just that, private, but it does seem to the trend to be as honest about such things in this day and age. I'll never look at My Little Ponies the same that's for sure.

What an amazing and funny journey that Ruyle takes us on with "Five Frickin Winters" Love and relationships are such unpredictable beasts that we're lucky at all to find either during our time here on earth, but this play gives us such vibrant characters who are also so realistic and the dialogue is as good as it gets filled with humor and wit and realism that you will make you remember Roger, Carm, Kat, and Kev long after the play has ended.

What a beautiful and amazing play. The secrets that were held in tight by that generation who felt the best way to live was to just forget the horrible and pick up the pieces and patch them back together and move forward and yet, sometimes, those pieces are not strong enough to stay together forever and can fall out in the most unexpected places. One secret which if known could have helped at least one family who were broken by default of the times.
