I was just talking to co-workers yesterday and how we unfortunately felt that that corner that we were all hoping to never take as far as climate change, has already been taken and the chaos that reigns on us right now with the wildfires, and hurricanes and floods will never cease or stop growing in size and in destruction. Plumridge's monologue gives voice to this dread and should be heard by everyone. Maybe, just maybe, we can still extend the wall just enough to not have to make that forever turn.

Nubs cuts to the heart of what is so important about lives and living them. We are so confronted with nothing but bad news on a day to day basis, that we have to find a ray in all that darkness that we can cling to. A hope that we can inflate with our own breath that will make all the bad a little OK, even for a tiny moment. Cathro has written us a new gem to bring out on those dark days, to inhale and to let it go right into each of our balloons.

What would any of us do if we knew the next ten minutes that we had and were given would end with our death? Perlmutter gives a haunting and very tense situation with his play and it's one that would play out so well on stage and the banter between a hit man and his victim.

How could I resist reading this It was the play of the day for me and it's always fun to see those by playwrights I know and much better when they are funny and include playwrights I know in the actual script. Why do each of us write? And is everything we write art or good or worthwhile? As long as it was fun, my take-away is that should satisfy us until the next idea takes hold!

How many licks does it take to get to the center and true meaning of an Aesop fable? Canfield presents us with one such tale in the Tortoise and the Hare and how these characters question their own story and history and try to break out of them any way which they can, only to find out that they are pretty cemented in place. Truth is a harsh master that way, but it's a lot of fun to see it unfold in this delightful romp..

I enjoy looking for the new play of the day on the homepage. Today's was a full length by Eberlein and after reading this, I have added that one to my library. I am blown away by this play. It will live on long after today's reading . A true theatrical expedience that would be amazing to see live.

A gut-wrenching play that pulls you in from the start and tears your soul in half by its end.. Lamedman gives you a peek into an average family and the tragic moment that has redefined them and forever changed the landscape of their small American dream. Powerful in its intimacy that frames each character in their solitude which may never be overcome.

We are all our worse enemy, and when one is working through the process of life, we are even harder on ourselves than most anyone else would. be. Miles to Go was funny and horrifying and full of so much rage that before you know it, you want to walk all the those miles with Miles and help them through the process. We are all made better by this play. See each person as an individual and know that just by saying hello and listening to another person, we might achieve the greater distance with effort well spent.

Beautiful ode to the new way of showing how two people can love each other and a beautiful ode to the way things should be in this world. As a society we've always been hung up on definitions of what we are as men and women and I for one am happy that that definition is getting blurrier and blurrier and I for one was so happy to see this play this morning on the homepage!

Wacky indeed and loads of fun to boot! I love farces and Floyd-Priskorn gives us a great one in her play Ghost Flushers. I love the twists and turns and the unexpected going-ons as the action continues and would be jealous of any audience member who gets to participate in this mad-cap ghost story.
