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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

We all watched in horror on that January 6th day with horror and with disbelief, as if living in a pandemic wasn't unreal enough, we have the leader of our country committing treason and not even being charged for it, so this evil has split out country into two halves, the insane and those who stare with mouths agape as our democracy is dismantled. Minigan put our feelings into his wonderful ten minute audio play Danforth Street, January 6. A day that lives forever but for all the wrong reasons.

What a touching and beautiful play about being true to oneself and at 17 that is probably the hardest thing to do for a lot of teenagers and adding in something that's not "common" among the rest of the class, makes it even harder. I wish for one day when religion won't pent people so into what's right and what's wrong and the world will just realize that this and that are just things that are accepted. Think of the type of world that could be if focused on those things that really mattered.

What seems like just another run by friends, McClain takes us into a detour of power struggles, truth vs. lies, and out and blackmail just to get one's way. Stella and Alex are typical teens and they are done so well that it's a heartbreaking come to Jesus between to people who thought they were friends only to realize that this was an illusion, Muddy Sneakers today, Business shoes tomorrow. Life continues on.
