jose sebastian alberdi: The Once and Future Casey Colman by Jacqueline Bircher

“

The world created in Casey Colman is one that I’m still thinking about—Crystal Plains, Kansas, with all its tragedies and psychic energy being whipped around by people desperate to know what’s going to happen next in their lives. The Miss Angela workshop scenes had me laughing out loud at their cleverness and the amount of fortune-telling jargon that was being tossed about, and Casey’s dream scenes were works of sonic, and atmosphere-building genius! I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the (can’t resist) /future/ of this play!

jose sebastian alberdi: Earworm by Shualee Cook

I saw this play's reading at Campfire Theatre Festival and it honestly was one of my favorites of the weekend. I found myself humming "Candle's Out" after, thinking about the way songs can impact each of us so differently. Shualee has such a gift for taking something we think we know--songs--and making us think about their existences in a concrete, new way. I can't say enough about how great this play is! I laughed, I cried, I was angry, I was overjoyed, and by the end, I was rocking out with the whole cast. Bravo!
