Another anthropomorphic, magically realistic gem from Robin Rice, "Frontier" pushes buttons and boundaries with an urgency that is not without humor, but is none-the-less an eloquently horrifying plea for us to wake up before it's too late. The possibilities for inventive staging are endless, and exciting to contemplate.

Wildly and wonderfully theatrical, this one-woman show is a tour de force; horrifying, hilarious, touching, and filled with incredibly vivid details and rich characters, BO-NITA makes one laugh even as it shocks with its no-holds-barred examination of a 13 year old girl's matter-of-fact grasp on her fucked-up life. An extraordinary work.

Gorgeous, simply gorgeous. There’s not one false note in this beautifully written 10-minute jewel. Heartfelt, moving, and elegant. I don’t know if ghosts cry either, but the tears were streaming down my face by the end. ❤️

Mon Dieu, j'aime cette pièce! Absurde, poétique, et avec ce français je ne sais qois... c'est une pièce parfaite de 10 minutes.

Elegant, lyrical, and with a very European sense of the ironic humor in melancholy, Gacinski's "Band-Aid Over a Broken Heart" is a small, sparkling gem of emotional truth; an altogether winning work. Bravissimo!

Politics, on a national, familial, and personal level, are given a workout in this astute drama from Ken Love, which tackles the thorny issue of race-relations in a battle to the death for a senate seat between a young African American Republican Woman, and the Democratic incumbent who's held his seat for more than 40 years. The play pulls no punches; it aims for the gut and lands with force. Great roles for older actors.

High concept, low-comedy, sophisticated wit, and hilarious farce are mixed expertly in Philip Middleton William's smart romantic comedy "Can't Live Without You." Serious life choices are questioned, but not given short shrift as the play bubbles along like a cocktail that reveals deeper layers of flavor with each sip, and in the end packs quite a satisfying punch.

Brief, but exquisitely complex. Two great roles for women, with so many layers to explore. A stunning work.

Drug addiction, child molestation, a community theater production of "Into The Woods," and a stage mother who makes Rose Hovick look warm and cuddly all clash and bubble over in this dark witch's brew of highly dysfunctional family dynamics. Great role for a child actor.

Superb storytelling, ghoulishly witty gallows humor, larger-than-life-characters, and a wonderful twist at the end make Jim Lucason's "The Prisoner" fabulously entertaining to read. And with three roles for gifted actors to sink their teeth into, it should play even better. Dark fun!
