Facts about me: I love muppets. I have dyscalculia. I love numbers. I don't know what to do with them. This short piece warmed my heart and made me smile. Well done Deb!

This is pure anxiety provoking body horror. Or body provoking anxiety horror. Or horror provoking anxiety body…. Whatever it is, it’s creeptastic. Daniel Prillaman once again drags his fingernails down the chalk board of my psyche and raises all hackles to full alert.

Adam has finally spoken the truth that Big Weather doesn’t want anyone to hear! This is a delightfully odd tale of weather predicting gone awry. Adam is a master at character crafting, here he gives us Patty and Phil, rival weather prognosticators on a day of reckoning.

Holy hell! Rachel Feeny Williams comes out of the gate swinging! A wicked tale of comeuppance that makes you sit up and take notice. Vengeance is a dish best served with alcohol. Gripping take of wayward youth and the need for accountability.

The American Dream is harder and harder to even conceive. What’s was once a rights of passage is not a minefield of compromise and disappointment. Brava Deb for this biting commentary!

They never tell us about Cinderella’s mother. Or Snow White’s. But in this heartbreaking tale, we may have some inkling as to what might have happened. We want to believe that postpartum depression is some modern affliction, but the truth of life is that it is scary. Inexplicably sorrowful and difficult to endure. Jackie weaves a fairy tale for the lost mothers and their children.

There’s just aren’t enough shows that highlight audience participation. Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn has delivered a delightful score full of spooky hijinks and colorful characters. This is a fantastic show that I would love to see performed!

The frustration is real. Too real. Thanks to Joe Swenson for poking a very tender spot in my psyche. Joe has perfectly captured a moment of present day living with a wry eye and a sharp wit. Great short piece!

A painfully accurate depiction of a tragedy in motion. James McLindon has given us a stark look at the conditions of two librarians caught in a political turf war over what books should be available to children in the state of Florida. This play is not about a dystopian future, it is a reflection of present day policies that hint at the loss of not only our freedoms, but our very ability to inform ourselves and our children of the world around us.

How often do our rose-colored memories distract us from the less-than-vibrant present? Miranda Jonte plays the ultimate devil's advocate by giving voice to three devils reveling over their glory days. Some evil deeds carry more weight than others, and in time, even the devil can grow a conscience.
