I imagine I was both Randy and Stoge at some stage or another in my youth. I never learned to let go of my grudges or my guilt. They may be faded and rarely thought upon these days, but this show is a gentle reminder that we are not forever those awkward kids who didn’t know where they were heading. Great work, John Patrick Bray.

There’s no way to properly convey the utter mayhem that unfolds in this play. A “Leave It To Beaver” episode gone very awry. There’s a little something for everyone. Witchcraft? Yessir. Demons? Gotcha covered. Hysterically hijinx? You betcha! Name dropping 19th century horror writer Arthur Machen? Check, check, and check! Loved this play!

I came for the magic, I stayed for moral dilemma. Jennifer O’Grady has written a beautiful piece that would play well in holiday shows for all ages. Funny, wide, and magical, this play delivers.

I would watch a whole series based on the “where are they now” motif concerning biblical entities. Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn has written a fun filled retrospeftive on faded glory and the possibility of a future reunion.

Jennifer O’Grady delivers a beautifully rendered glimpse into the lives of extraordinary people. I love imagining the day to day lives of famous influential figures, but in this piece, Jennifer gives us a world so defined that imagination is not necessary. I felt like a ghost watching from the corners of the Brontë sisters’ lives. “All feelings are good” struck me as I realized how O’Grady conducts the full orchestra of my emotions in a perfect symphony.

Whoa. That wasn’t the monkey’s paw, that was the whole damn monkey arm. This felt like a Tales From The Crypt episode. I could hear the high pitched laughter of the Crypt Keeper at the end. Bravo on upping the stakes to Cole Dzubak.

Morally speaking, there’s not a thing wrong with Burns and Crump’s plans. So long as you don’t pay too much attention. LeBlanc has created a comic duo that rivals the great vaudevillians of old. This is a fun short play that would be at home in an evening of dark comedy.

Diplomacy is speaking softly and carrying a large crustacean. This absurdist look at a politics on the edge of a lasting peace interrupted by bombastic golf lessons, particular appetites, and an upsetting fact about marine life. Ricardo Soltero-Brown masterfully tickles the brain with this meeting of ambassadors.

I feel Jude’s frustrations. I worry for Mrs. Ferris’s well being. I want to build a small stone henge with stolen paver stones. Jackie Floyd-Priskorn paints a brilliant picture of the early morning antics of a cantankerous elderly woman and her young caretaker. A hoot and a half. Perfect to pair with its predecessor.

Vince Gatton has worked magic with this script. Local yet global. Personal yet universal. Perfectly simple yet devastatingly complex. The characters are so rich they could buy your soul. While building on deep expectations about the setting and the people who reside there, Gatton doea an amazing job defying those expectations.
