New beginnings are what keep us young and young at heart. This is a great new years play about being aware that the memories we shared with loved ones who have passed on can sometimes weigh down the present day to day activities and not allow for the fact that grief does change over time and although you may always love the one you’ve lost, you know that allowing new love in can only make you stronger and keep healing you in all the right ways.

We all have that dark place we can get to pretty easily and when it comes on is something most times we cannot decide and unfortunately as joyful as Christmas is supposed to be, it can be overwhelmingly depressing due to so many factors. Sometimes it feels right to hide and just remove yourself from all the joy if you’re not feeling it at all. An important lesson not just for the holidays but all year long.

It’s like the wreck that you know is coming and you still cannot look away from Billy the kid or Gene Wilder as they stumble through their crime. That one thief chose Gene Wilder as his robbery name had me laughing from the start. Seeing this performed on stage would be such a treat the same as it would be for the lucky Marianne.

It takes all types of friends to make the world go around. Hunt's play is funny as it is clever and with a bit of surprise at the end that will satisfy everyone who's watching.

You can feel the anger and sadness from Claire as she tells you the reason she wanted to be able to be invisible and that desire was to earn her dad's respect and for him to treat her like she was just as capable as he was and still becomes despite taking her under his wing.

Cole works her magic again with this funny, funny play. I love the set-up and the there is a lot of tension watching these three in this airplane 140000 feet up in the air when so much could happen that you're starting to feel a little bit stressed just wondering what's going to happen.

Oh, what a magical journey Uhter takes us on with Deck the Mall. A little boy's wish to find his grandfather turns into a warm and very funny journey in a mall and oh that ending will not leave a dry eye around for miles.

As they say, sometimes what you need is right in front of you and all you need is an egotistical bastard to make you realize that before the curtain rises. Feeny-Williams takes us down a very rich rabbit hole of the woes of one amateur theater and has struck gold with her characters, the dialogue and play. Bravo!

Saw this play read wonderfully on Tiny Theatre. Father/daughter relationship are alway hard, but the twist of it being Santa's daughter was a lot of fun.

Heard this performed perfectly on Wireless Theatre. Bad neighbors, or suspected bad neighbors exist all around us and one should always be a little leery when they decide to make any move that takes them out of their comfort zone.
