  • Death Plans A Holiday
    11 Apr. 2021
    This is what I needed this morning to laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh some more. Busser's play is one of the funniest I've read. It does what a great play should do, make you forget time altogether. The exchanges between Death and his travel agent and Death's wife are spot on and I was rooting for each and every one of the characters throughout. Thank you John Busser for making my day!
  • It's an Espresso Drink with Foamy Steamed Milk
    10 Apr. 2021
    Stupid is is Stupid does and with Martin's deft hands, it's also one of the funniest plays I've ever seen or read. I was fortunate enough to hear this performed on Back Porch Theater performed by the talented Miranda Jonte and Kevin Loreque.
  • In a Red Sea
    10 Apr. 2021
    What is it about redheads? They seem to have a calling for so many people, men and women. Moore takes us through one man's obsession and cleverly bases it on Evard Munich's "The Scream" of which that action used at the end with great effect.
  • Marcus and Sextus Take A Bloody Walk Around London
    10 Apr. 2021
    Plummer gives us a dash of history and a little bit of a travelogue all mixed together with such clever humor that we are all in for Marcus' search for the missing stone and hoping for his success in finding it.
  • Not Really (Little Star)
    9 Apr. 2021
    What a beautiful and painful ode to grief that was there and grief that was not there and how humans can beat themselves up over their own feelings which feel misguided probably from the guilt instilled in us from a long-ago handbook of what we should feel and we shouldn't. Malone takes us through this tiny journey of one man's coming to terms with his wife's miscarriage and pulls no punches on this man's reasoning with himself, the world and the internet all with such insightful language that we can only follow along until the end for closure.
  • Adam's Angels
    9 Apr. 2021
    This play is a true delight! I'd turn religious again if this was the Holy Word of god. Floyd-Priskorn pulls together so much of what is wrong with the bible and our own world right now, women are not treated as they should be in so much of the world and this plays digs at those things so smoothly without ever losing it's comic genius. The last line is one that made me smile. I can't wait to read more of this playwright's work!
  • Off the Path • Chance Encounters with Strangers
    9 Apr. 2021
    This is an incredible journey that I can’t really speak too much about the plot without given anything away. But I can tell you this, I was caught up in this play from the get-go. With the simple act of taking your dog on a walk turns into a metaphysical discovery of what one’s future can be when you’ve just about given up on all possibility.
  • Twenty Below
    9 Apr. 2021
    Nothing brings family together like a walk in the twenty below temperatures. The mother and daughter in Haas’ play certainly having a bonding moment in their walk and a comedic gem of coming together to help their Dad with his final wishes.
  • Under the Hills
    9 Apr. 2021
    This play is such a beautiful play that filled me with outrage. And it should. Underhills lines in the middle of this play show you how evil this man was. He's no hero for me or ever! All the evil that was done in the name of religion. as if God would want the slaughter of any soul if it could be harnessed into his army rather than be killed. For these men I wished that spirits did rise and haunt and hunt them down so that if they thought they were getting everlasting life it's filled with their pain.
  • Lois Returns
    9 Apr. 2021
    Be careful what you wish for. In this monologue Lois confronts her disappointments in this funny monologue. Sometimes fantasies are more exciting than reality and helps some people thought their relationships. I saw this read and performed on Back Porch Theater by Miranda Jonte and it was such a delight to see live!
