  • Medusa, Modern Woman
    20 Apr. 2024
    As a huge Greek mythlogy nerd, I was excited to see this play on the program at the 2024 William Inge Festival. This exceeded any expectations I had by weaving the story of Medusa into a story that fulfills the title, by presenting her story as one that too many modern women can relate too. I also loved that she followed so much of the troupes of Greek theater (chorus, two to three actors on stage at a time). Amazing and highly recommended
  • The Matchmaker
    20 Apr. 2024
    Mindy Roll's The Matchmaker is a funny, sweet, touching, and unique spin and take on something I think older generations can struggle with (online dating) while sharing lessons that the younger generation needs to hear. I saw this at the 2024 William Inge Festival and cannot recommend it enough.
  • Skeletons in the Cellar, a 10-minute play
    20 Apr. 2024
    A two-hander with a ticking clock, featuring a man and a woman in a uncomfortable situation. It's a play we've all seen before. But Susan Middaugh's Skeletons in the Cellar riffs on this in a unique and special way with edge of the seat tension, commentary, and a beautiful ending.
  • Our Father
    20 Apr. 2024
    Sometimes, words fail me to describe what I have seen or what I've read and I can't succiently express why I loved a piece. Such is the case with Our Father, which I saw performed at the 2024 William Inge Festival. Topher Kielbasa takes us on a twisting, powerful, lession of different types of Biblical, spiritual, and literally fathers in this thought provoking piece. Don't just read this piece, produce this piece.
  • Overtime
    20 Apr. 2024
    I got the opportunity to see this wonderful, powerful piece performed at the 2024 William Inge Festival. Vogel engages us, engages us in the lives of these caretakers and their children and subverts our expectations ans assumptions in wonderful ways. Highly recommended.
  • #Blessed
    19 Apr. 2024
    I cannot recommend this play enough after seeing it at the 2024 William Inge Festival. An honest and unflinching look at American evangelical "megachurch" Christianity that is more about how we deal with and adjust to small, personal family situations, all under the guise of what it really means to be #Blessed! This is an amazing piece for two female identifying actors of certain ages to really showcase.
  • A very different kind of truth
    19 Apr. 2024
    What happened to Cass and Bee 9 years ago? Only Cass knows and no one really believes him. His girlfriend, Sayer, says she does, but does she really? And what happens on one fateful night, after Cass is hit in the head with a rock? Do we really know? We may have ideas but do we REALLY know? This brilliant play has the set-up of a Stephen King novel but with a heart wrenching and emotional tour de force perofrmance possibilities. Emotionally brutal and yet satisfying and truthful. I saw this at the 2024 William Inge Festival, highly recommended
  • The Maker: A Play on Words
    19 Apr. 2024
    What are the labels we give to ourselves? What are the labels we give to others? Who or what decides those labels? These are just some of the big questions that are asked in one of the most fascianating and innovative pieces I saw at the 2024 William Inge Festival. This is a thoughtful play that gives audiences something to think about, actors big scenes and big emotions to play out, and designers big ideas to create. Highly recommended
  • Everything In Between
    19 Apr. 2024
    Science-fiction is at its best when it is used to address a very modern and very human problem or emotion, in the case of this play, grief. How does one say good bye when given the chance? Do you say it? This was funny, heart warming and heart breaking at the same time. I saw this at the 2024 William Inge Festival and cannot recommend it enough.
  • Duet Rehearsal
    19 Apr. 2024
    I saw this at the 2024 William Inge Festival and it is a powerful, compelling, moving, and terrifying piece that encapsulates in just a few moments the real life terrors so many young dancers face. Beautiful and heartbreaking and yes, even funny at moments, it feels real because it is real to so many. It feels inspiried by the story of Dusty and Mitchell Taylor Button, but it could have been so many others who have been accused and/or found guilty and that's the truly terrifying part. Highly recommended
