Clever as ever, Scott Sickles gives us a delirious tale of punctuation gone fully awry. Here we have a hilarious story of a would-be-king, unsuspecting heirs to the throne, and one omitted comma. I kinda want a night of one acts revolving around grammar and punctuation with this show as its highlight.

Lovely. Heartwarming. This two hander is a true gift. Thank you, Morey Norkin, for a wonderful short play that is full of emotional twists and turns. This play ends beautifully, with hope and good feelings.

Sheer poetic genius. Capturing the essence of the bard while being wonderfully original. I enjoyed this short play and would love to see it performed.

As a child I was rudely introduced to Krampus on krampusnacht in Germany. This is a delightful departure from the nightmare of my youth. Brava Monica Cross for giving the holiday monster much needed heart.

A sweet cultural cross reference for the holiday season. One part lesson, two parts romance. One of the great gifts of any relationship is sharing how you celebrate things in your household. Even better, sharing how you celebrate in your home country.

I love this dynamic duo! This play is heartwarming and grounded. This play has it all, the avalanche of insecurities, the weight of imaginary battles, and a questionable grasp on the Desert Fox’s maneuvers in the North African campaign of the Second World War. All in all, I fully rely on Scott Sickles to deliver something wondrous. And without fail, he always does.

Unexpected. Warm. Delightful. This short play gives us a look at an underrepresented corner of deep, dark emotions. What starts as a routine day in a shop of uncommon items for even more uncommon shoppers becomes a refuge for a lost soul. This show is a treat and would be wonderful on stage.

What a trippy show! Fun throughout, this fever dream of utter variety in cameos is a delight. Somewhere in the back of my head was playing the Rich Little Christmas Carol in which his impersonation of WC Fields took the role of Scrooge. This zany comedy is definitely a must for Christmas themed readings!

I never realized how much I had in common with a Turkey until I read about Gobbler’s aspirations. I fully support the artistic efforts of doomed poultry. This is an endearing look at pitiful animals who know their time is short and decide to make a difference with the time they have… I’m speaking of playwrights.

Short, succinct, and oh, so familiar. Adam cuts right to the center of our self consciousness. A perfect amuse-bouche for dinner with relatives.
