A farce is a farce is a farce is farce, but in the hands of Busser, it turns into a gold mine of hilarity and mirth. Henchmen have never been funnier. Another gem from a playwright that's made me laugh on many occasions.

Right from the start, Two Yards of Satan grabs you and doesn't let go! It's funny and just a delight to read and would be so fun to see staged!! I always love seeing figures like Jesus and Satan humanized on the stage. Too bad, I didn't learn about these Biblical figures from reading McBurnette-Andronicos delightful romp, I may still be a religious man.

Grief is such a monster. It can do things to a person that you don't even realizing it's done and months or years later, you have that moment where you can finally begin to build again. Cole's amazing poem/play of one couple's journey is as fascinating as it is clever. The interchanging world of them and the birds will haunt me for a long time!

Dreams are one thing, nightmares another and our nightmares can cripple or us or make us stronger. Prillaman's beautiful play is about one such nightmare and what will become of Edmond? Will he face his fears and train to beat them, or grow weak behind a force that doesn't even come to his aid when needed. This play had so much for me. Horror, Gothic atmosphere and a villain worth the best of any Grimm's Fairy tale and a young boy that sees his beliefs topple in one second only to (hopefully) gain strength by choosing a new path.

How many times have any of us wanted to believe our house is haunted or visit a place that is. Coffee House Boos is an unusual love story and shows the world a way to be able to love the spirit of someone as much as the person and Floyd-Priskorn does this with witty dialogue and a fast-paced plot. Introduce yourself to this writer's work! You won't be sorry.

Americans always seem to be in a hurry for things, and also a little rude about it to boot, especially when they aren't in America, but Lermond provides redemption for Rick at just the right moment in this charming five minute play about getting lost and finding the right path.

I had the delight seeing this performed by the Playwrights of Zoom and it was such a delight to see and hear!

We all want to be the star of the show, unless you're a crayon. Levine's sweet and funny "The Big Picture" tells it from the crayons point of view and even though it's bleak in some way, as the title says, they look at from the bigger picture and are so proud of the end product and the placement, that it should be a lesson for us all about worrying too much of the small details.

Nothing like having cold water thrown in your face and Williams' play does just that with the gut-punch of an ending in this gem of a one-minute play.

At some point we have visualized ourselves as the star attraction of some event or another, where we are in a mood or a simply put out about a turn of events in our life and Leslie finds herself in such a place where she's given a shortened chorus and one that's completely confused her with someone else completely. Once again reality is always giving us lemons even when we are the star attraction.
