A gripping family drama. Jack and Linda’s mother is about to be re-married and they have reluctantly returned home for the wedding. Each was wounded by their family. Jack, never felt accepted as a gay man and his mother remains aloof. In the second act Jack’s mother tries to make amends in a clumsy way with disastrous results. The characters are vivid, the dialog is sharp and funny, and play illustrates how hard it is to know each other, especially if you’re in the same family.

A poignant piece about the fragility of life as three people gather to celebrate a tragic anniversary. The characterizations are sharp, it’s well plotted and paced, and is touching.

A brilliant piece that shows what’s really going on in a job interview. It manages to be both laugh out loud funny and very pointed all at the same time.

A touching two hander about Walter trying to make up with his son, Jeremy. Walter left his wife with devastating consequences, and it’s time to atone. The play is well plotted and the characters are distinct and sympathetic.

A laugh out loud comedy that continually surprises. Snappy dialogue, vivid characters and a big question. Don't underachievers deserve respect too?

Courtship/romance/relations all economically shown in dance and rhyme. Incredibly theatrical, this begs to be staged.

This is an amazing and unsettling play about the mind of a school shooter. In a twist on a Christmas Carol, John, a potential shooter, is shown what leads up to the shooting, the industry that encourages shootings, and the effects. While covering many sides of the issue of guns, the play never verse into stereotype, focusing on a character.

A very funny take on a squabbling witches coven. Great characters, great plot, and it made me laugh.

This is a great two-hander that explains the compulsion to write. It's short and funny and could be catching.

A snappy and funny two-hander that will keep you guessing throughout.
