What a perfect tale. As with all great folklore, this play seeks to make sense of difficult aspects of life. Zach Barr has created a beautiful narrative that explores the notion of death, grieving, and the bliss of ignorance.

What a ride. This is such an entertaining play! I got the opportunity to see a reading of this at the Valdez Theatre Conference. It is so smart, frightening, and funny. The dialogue is so natural and the characters are so well defined.

I had the immense pleasure of catching a reading of this play at the Valdez Theatee Conference. A fun play with a novel lighting effect. All the panic of a wedding day made all the worse with the sudden loss of power. A delightful comedy about friendship, marriage, and the importance of generators.

A warm tale about summer’s end. An unexpected touching play about the loss of connections and the endurance of convictions. Humorous and thoughtful, Michael C. O’Day addresses more than a mere mispronunciation of a word, he addresses the misconception of an entire tradition. Also, he points out how much better all activities could be if we were all sky clad.

How do the survivors of some of the most disturbing childhood traumas of the twentieth century come out as adults? This clever piece explores that premise perfectly. A fun wink and nod to how tough kids had to be once upon a time.

What a stellar romantic comedy Phillip Middleton Williams has crafted here. A frank, compelling story about an affair between unlikely lovers. The dialogue is crisp and the comedy is invigorating. Philip has you rooting for a multitude of outcomes while ultimately delivering the right one.

What a powerful invitation to the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of a truly remarkable woman as she conjures the past with razor keen observations of the vital moments that shape her journey to her present. As a one women show, this piece evokes a deep connection to the family, culture, trauma, and growth as pure reflections of events that have become crystallized within the central character. It’s a beautiful piece of theater art that I am certain is utterly breathtaking in performance.

Quick. To the point. Enjoyable. And poop. Don’t forget the poop. Jacquelyn is a master of getting to absolute center of a scene with surgical precision.

This is a beautiful engineered adaptation of one of the most iconic tales of the macabre. Poe’s desperate narrator is shattered into pieces of the tumultuous inner mechanisms of a killer. Dana Hall has given us a truly theatrical experience, highlighting the deep pathos and psychosis of one of literature’s most famous murderers.

Mirrors are inherently creepy. A dumb show performed by menacing doppelgängers waiting to strike. Jonathon Cook scratched the surface of the dread and cuts surprisingly deep with this short play. Eerie and heartbreaking, a chilling tale for a night of sinister theater.
