A wonderful play about family and family secrets. Zaffarano gives us an ode to the bonds of family and even if we can't always pick our families, we can certainly come to appreciate them and lean on them in times of need. Kentucky Lemonade is a beautiful title and the play itself is a rich tapestry of well-written characters and situations that, although familiar, gives this play its strength and its family one that everyone should get to know.

What would a childhood be if not one to find out about Santa and if he's real or not--if you believe in that kind of thing. Vinter's oh so naughty play is filled with laugh after laugh and trust me if my parents would have described how religions started the way Imogene's Mum does, I would have stayed a religious man a lot longer than I did.

I love Diamond's biographical plays and this one is no exception. You are at once invested Kamala Nehru's character and her struggle to end Purdah. This was a woman I did not know and that is one of the best things about Diamond's plays, I learn so much and want to dive deeper into the subject about all the women who had such amazing lives and made such lasting contributions. Bravo!

Everyone can have a bad day and so does Satan in this refreshing and delightful by Mabey. Most of us are filled with self-doubt at some point in our lives and it's funny to see Satan filled with it to the point of ending their existence. Well done.

Charming to the max! What makes a friendship work? It's probably full of a lot of unicorns that only those two people would see. Smart, inventive and always a delight to read 0'Grady's work.

A great monologue by J.Lo and so spot on to what's going on in the world this very day. We are supposed to be in this fight together and Abby does her part in spreading the message of safety, love and friendship.

Everyone wants the "American" dream, but as we've seen the past several years, that dream popped many years ago and should be buried along with Cassie's parents. I love this monologue. I love the rage that Cassie emotes and puts her energy into. What is time and it's humbled summed up by Cassie at the end. Another great Martin piece!

Who doesn't like Bigfoot? Sadly, it seems their power struggles are just as real for them as they are for humans. With Weaver's dry humor, the result is a delightful exchange between Bigfeet and an excellent addition to the growing Bigfoot canon.

To some this would be a horror story, to others a blessing. Philip gives us this wonderful one minute play with a twist and true surprise at the end. Well done!

Saw this funny and touching monologue on Back Porch Theatre!!! A true Sickles gemstone!!
