  • Suddenly Rippling, Out and Up [a 1-minute play]
    11 Jun. 2020
    Wow. This play will tear a little at anyone’s heart. Short and sweet but with so much depth and emotion. All those times which give us pause and make us wistful and thankful at the same time, Martin has given us one of those moments in this short play.
  • Covid Cookies
    30 May. 2020
    A sweet and charming play about love and too much togetherness. Cooking together can be one of those magical moments or nightmarish ones, but add in a lockdown situation, it's bound to get messy. Curry provides her characters with a stiuation that brings them to such a loving understanding of each other, and who could ask for anything more than that?
  • The Bad Boy of the Sonnets
    23 May. 2020
    What a delight to read and one that would be so much fun to see on the stage. We all have our muses and Rinkel explores one of the most iconic in this witty and entertaining play.
  • Future Drew
    20 May. 2020
    What a beautiful fantasy. We all would love to go back and tell our younger selves those things that we feel would help them through those rough days and times. A must see!
  • Jim & Jesus: Besties for Life
    15 May. 2020
    This is funny as hell! I love this type of absurd theater and Jennings brings some explosive action to the stage. What is the saying? There but for the grace of God go I. What is good? What is evil? Who is good? Who is evil? It flips depending on the setting and scene and your own beliefs.
  • Allen's Big Adventure
    15 May. 2020
    Williams monologue shows the true strength of love which can take hold of us without warning. Most times, that seems to be the love that is more powerful as if by not looking for it, it knocks us down all the more forcefully. Philip mourns for his soulmate, and that emotion is so so real and insightful for anyone who's ever had someone like Allen in their life,
  • Six Feet Away
    15 May. 2020
    We've all had to learn new behavior with Covid-19, and some of it it's heart-breaking, but when it's behavior that rips away that foundation of love in your own house, it's just down-right madness. Looking forward to seeing this play. I enjoyed the lines about the world is always changing but maybe this time it will change for the better, with people showing more kindness and empathy. Hope is the one thing that we can all still do no matter how far we stand apart.
  • V-DAY (from the TAPAS COLLECTION)
    5 May. 2020
    What a touching and sweet and funny love story. Lermond gives us a couple worn down by their seven years of marriage, but Gertie and Roy show each other that true love is something that even though it can become unpolished, just needs a good shine to come through for years and years.
  • 38 Cookies, 39 Reasons [a monologue]
    3 May. 2020
    Always expect the unexpected from Martin and this monologue delivers so much humor and self reflection. Terry speaks for all of us who feel that we owe an explanation for just living and just trying to make our way in this crazy mixed up world. I would love to grab a bag of nutter butters and enjoy the bag with Terry and reflect how good it is just to be alive and indulge every once in awhile.
  • Pangea (Part Two of The Second World Trilogy)
    3 May. 2020
    A masterful entry into the Second World Triology and one that had me from the very first page. Love stories come in all forms, and this play is one of the best I've read in such a long time. There's nothing better than a backdrop of saving the earth to drop two heroes into, and Lincoln and Andy leap off the page with such realism and humor. I know the third part of this series will be one to remember as the first two have surely been.
