Two actors in search of a character. A truly enjoyable romp with two performers breaking all the rules to find their footing in a scene that boasts only the bare minimum of plot and structure. Any theater lover would immediately recognize the angst of not only the characters, but the actors struggling to make sense of the world they inhabit.

A taut thriller that builds in tension at the perfect pace. The plot reveals itself just ahead enough for the audience to see it coming, but exactly measured to satisfy each expectation. A wonderful piece that any fan of good noir will love.

Well, damn. What a beautifully constructed heartbreak. I will be forever haunted by the line “Since when was anyone entitled to a long life?” There is joy, tears, and oh, so much love in this play. It is as inevitable as life itself and just as tragic. And celebratory. And sad. And joyful. This play concludes life stories that I have followed from childhood to death. A profound work that deserves attention.

Brilliant piece of fast-hitting comedy. Certainly makes me want to rethink my career choices.

As a long time resident of the south and a paranormal enthusiast, I truly enjoyed Give Up The Ghost. A wry observation of the troubling fascinations of the south mingled with an original take on ghost lore.

It’s not often you read a play that dances so sublimely around love and loss. This is a wonderfully moving tale of the nature of words and the power of love. It is a cozy, easily produced work that deserves to be on stages everywhere.

This is an evocative and beautifully executed theatrical experience. There is a peculiar balance between clinical distance and heartfelt intimacy. I would love to see this piece onstage.

I had a knot in my stomach reading this play. A tremendous achievement in capturing the angst of truth in such trying times. I imagined myself as an actor portraying the unsavory main character and knew it would be a feat of acting, but a wound to the soul. Bravo to Donald Baker for crafting this unflinching look at the past, this damning commentary of the present, and , hopefully, this effective warning for the future.

In a monologue that is lyrical, musical, and fierce, Scott Sickles paints a portrait of the defiant strength that can elevate prey to predator. There is a whimsical sensation to this piece, but the underlying terror that weighs upon every woman caught walking alone among the shadows that hide very real threats is palpable. Another fantastically entertaining piece by Mr. Sickles.

Lovely modern fairy tale. Hints of Midsummer Night's Dream and every story that ventures into a magic forest. A wonderfully wry examination of a hunter's sensibilities.
