I always enjoy the humor in Diamond's plays. Even those ones which are more serious always have that spark that is hers. There's nothing like finding a common enemy to bring people together and Palak Paneer has this in the end but what holds this play together is the humor and how different people's perceptions are who are in the same space as you. Life is truly a joyous journey.

This is a great time capsule of how much of the 2020 went, especially those early months of lock-down and not being able to go anywhere. And everyone was affected by this lock-down in so many ways, but having co-workers who lived in New York City, their biggest complaint on some of those early calls was that feeling of being trapped in their small space without anywhere to go or air to breathe. Diamond captures those early days of the pandemic so perfectly with Zoom Caste!

What a great play that pulls you along from the very start and won't let your emotions go. Glad this was my play of the day today. Goldman-Sherman's writing is so full of energy that you are caught up in this assault without even realizing it and so glad that when it's over, Alyssa is still there and fighting for a new beginning just like she deserves.

Beautifully written ode to love! This would have been a great one to see live on stage. Bravo!

This brings back a lot of memories. Most of them good. There was nothing like looking at a Calvin Klein model on the boxes of underwear. And if we weren't gay before seeing them, most of us who had the right wiring were certainly gay afterwards. Hey paints such a picture with young Wade just coming into his own sexuality and the shopping for underwear with his mom is priceless as it is embarrassing for us to read about it. Like I said, a lot of memories. Most of them very good.

Relationships, no matter the pairing, are always hard and a work in progress. This fourth installment of the Sock Monkey series by Carnes gives us a beautiful and funny take on one that's hit that fork in the road where big decisions need to be made. Sometimes relationships remain there at the fork and this play captures that moment so perfectly.

Thought-provoking play about the clutter in our lives, both externally and inside. Speckman puts together such a powerful play in such few words that there is no clutter in her piece since every word is needed for this beautiful tribute to the possibilities of change.

Rico the Magnificent teaches us that we can all sing and make a difference, even if it's a little off-key. This play has everything that a Christmas play should have. Big Heart, badly sung Christmas carols and a heartwarming ending that would unfreeze any Scrooge heart around!

Antigone's Sister is filled with such raw emotions of the possibilities of what our world could have been like if we had all only started out on the same footing in life and had been given the same possibilities of equality from the very start of life. I loved the theatricality of the staging and the language which gives it a sense of calm to the reader and audience member even though you are screaming inside of how wrong our world was and is. Thank the gods Goldman-Sherman is there to bring this injustice to light with her beautiful words.

Another searing monologue by Wyndham who voices a voice for those who do not have one and those who have been pushed back into the system or removed from the country. It's a crime that we cannot get on board with being able to help these people and remind ourselves that even our ancestors came over for the same reason all the new immigrants are trying to get in, to set their life path in a new world of hope and promise and not just the hatred from everyone who is fighting anyone new and in need.
