Wow. This is some seriously fucked up, seriously funny shit. Really dark, really ballsy, and really, really, laugh out loud funny. Wild, weird, and wonderful, with a deeply touching story of loss and yearning underneath the hilariously goth goings on.

I love this play for its touching theatricality, its imaginative premise, its lyrical dialogue, and its deceptive simplicity. An enchanting read, the possibilities for creative staging are as limitless as heaven itself. And what a great role for an older actor!

Wonderful! With a fun twist at the end.

It's the outrageously improbable outrage that Gacinski uses to make his point that makes the point of his absurdist satire. With its darkly funny premise, I'm looking forward to seeing how Chris further peels away at this work-in-progress.

Fun, pointed satire with a series of twists that will leave you gasping – from both surprise and laughter.

Read this. Savor every incredible word. After you've read it, think about it, and then read it again. And if you're in a position to produce this, PRODUCE IT. I can't say anything else because anything else I could say would just be gilding refined gold.

I recently heard this script via a digital reading presented by Kane Repertory Theatre, after having read it in preparation to listen to the Zoom presentation.

What constitutes infidelity in the age of sexbots? That's the central premise of this very dark, very funny comedy from Mike Solomonson. Exploring sexual fantasies with no-holds-barred glee, Solomonson's contemporary morality tale is frank, just a tad more than slightly warped, and makes one want to take a shower. And perhaps not alone.

Dreamlike, imaginitive, and magical, Cross takes the star-crossed Cyrano/Roxanne/Christian love triangle and gives it new after-life. It's a lovely, ruminative and poetic work that touches the heart, and satisfies deeply.

What delicious fun. Speckman takes on the current mania to “call-a-cop on anyone” and hits a bullseye with hilarious, sharply pointed arrows. An excellent monologue for an actress to feast upon, and food for thought for the rest of us.

Losing a loved one and how we deal with the grief is a very personal thing, a different experience for each of us. Williams’ disarmingly charming short play shows us a highly idiosyncratic, yet good side to an emotion we all must face, and Dan, the character mourning the death of his father, has as good a way as any. Lyrical and lovely, this is a touching gem that heals.
