Such a delightful short! This is a play that will tease a smile out of the most stalwart of manly men. Wonderful dialogue, great characters, and an unexpected dose of anachronistic sensibilities. A real winner!

This gem is a love letter to theater lovers. Whether onstage or in the audience, the conversations that surround the surreal resonate with us all. Clever and funny, Jeremy Kole gives us something to chew on while trying to find out exactly what we are all waiting for.

This is a bittersweet play about the connections we forge in life that transcend time. This short piece explores how the sharing of the things we love are an act of love itself. Philip Middleton Williams has given us a glimpse of what it means to hold on.

To say this is clever is an understatement. It is sublime. More than a skewering of two very disparate genres, this is a marriage as tragically doomed as the titular couple’s nuptials. Thoroughly enjoyable, Shakespearean language intact, save some choice exclamations that are hilariously placed. Please someone stage this show!

Grab some toast and butter because this is my JAM! Busser boldly stomps around Arkham with unabashed glee. I love playing with the mythos and this play is a true delight!

We are what we hold on to, as much as we are what we let go of. Sometimes we cannot save the precious things, perhaps that makes them all the more precious. Michele Clarke gives us the most relatable of ghost stories, and it is not spooky. It is the haunting tale of the most familiar spectre of all, the past.

Lia Romeo’s Ghost Story is a brilliant examination of loss, race relations, sexual relations, age relations, and being haunted by more than just ghosts. It’s rare to see a ghost story focus on the living and the lives they lead over the chilling encounters with spectral visitors.

A magnificent play that plumbs the depths of a broken industry and its problematic products. A truly brilliant exploration of traumas, both personal and public that leave us with resonating questions. Stacey Isom Campbell brings to light the complexities of an abusive culture, the dilemma of art and its creators, and how we must recognize the intricate spiderweb of popular culture.

What more do you need to know than “wandering uterus”? Tom Moran has gifted us with a hilarious tale of anatomy gone awry. I enthusiastically recommend this play. Read it, produce it, heap praise upon it!

A clever tête-à-tête between home owner and ghost haunting her house. Sometimes a spiritual negotiation is the best way to deal with unwanted specters. Enid Cokinos has delivered on a spooky premise with a light touch that is satisfying.
