  • Time Travelers Can Apply Yesterday by John Busser
    4 Jan. 2020
    “ Well, this will be fun now that I've read it next week. I will laugh a lot at Busser's wit, and I marveled at how he kept all of the various time-traveling moments so clearly organized throughout. Mind blowing. At least it will be. Or has already been. I don't care. I loved this play yesterday, today, and tomorrow. ”
  • Ghost Chicken by Matthew Weaver
    4 Jan. 2020
    “ An angry Ghost Chicken, Cecil Cluck, and Dawn Notts (get it?) run afowl in a secluded place on a dark night, and the puns are non-stop. As are the laughs. Well done, Weaver! ”
  • Uncomfortable [a 1-minute monologue] by Steven G. Martin
    4 Jan. 2020
    “ In one-minute, with one word, Martin says everything that needs to be said. Period. And... BOOM! ”
  • All is Calm by Scott Sickles
    2 Jan. 2020
    “ All may be calm, but it certainly isn't bright in this melancholy, poignant, and gut-wrenching stunner from Scott Sickles. Okay, things aren't all that calm either, at least not underneath the surface, which is where this play lives. Every single line pierces the soul with the fear, longing, sadness, and hopelessness of two people who just can't bring themselves to face a rejection that's not going to happen, but believe will. Laced with many moments of bracing Sicklesian wit throughout, "All is Calm" is a holiday gift; perhaps not the shiniest, but certainly one of the most touching, and beautiful. ”
  • Rose Johnson And The Cathode Ray Tube by Jo Brisbane
    2 Jan. 2020
    “ A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, especially when allied to the lack of a good education and deeply held, if bogus, religious beliefs. That Jo Brisbane has set her dystopian tale in 1954 just adds to the horror of "Rose Johnson And The Cathode Ray Tube," as she systematically points out how very little has changed in the intervening decades. A disturbing, necessary work, this play leaves one shaken and just a little bit more than terrified at humanity's rather dim prospects. ”
  • Hotter Than Thoreau by Julie Zaffarano
    1 Jan. 2020
    “ Short, sweet, and hilarious romantic comedy that plays with expectations – the character's, as well as the audience's – with scalpel-sharp observations and humor. ”
  • Tracy Jones by Stephen Kaplan
    31 Dec. 2019
    “ The strain of melancholy running through Stephen Kaplan's "Tracy Jones" gives this play its heart; it's beating, breaking heart. Kaplan beautifully balances offbeat humor with aching sentiment, and the result is a poignant comedy that touches one deeply. ”
  • Noir Hamlet by John Minigan
    31 Dec. 2019
    “ Shakespeare and Noir: a match made in a hellish heaven? A heavenly hell? Who cares, when the play is as delightfully droll and hilariously spot on as Minigan's "Noir Hamlet!" I didn't want it to end, I was so caught up in the brilliant cleverness of the whole thing. LOVED. IT! ”
  • FUCK BUDDY: THE MONOLOGUE by Asher Wyndham
    31 Dec. 2019
    “ What a perfect monologue from the master monologist! Wyndam captures so much truth with such hilariously desperate specificity it's almost as if he's been in the mind of every FBuddy EVER! Absofrigginlutly wonderful. ”
  • An Appreciation by Steven G. Martin
    31 Dec. 2019
    “ Oh, how I loved the moment when all expectations are turned upside down, and "An Appreciation" becomes an appreciation of what should always be appreciated. Beautifully done, Steven G. Martin. Beautifully done! ”
