As a cooking show fanatic, watching the ghost of Eleanor Roosevelt cook while espousing observations about life, obligations, desires, and a generous helping of bourbon is my idea of perfection. This is a glorious monologue that would be an absolute hoot to see on stage.

This wonderful penny dreadful play is far from dreadful! It is a delight! Funny, dark, Victorian-y. A pitch perfect grim tale brimming with vibrant theatricality. Any theater would be smart to add it to their season, especially around Halloween!

You can feel Eddie’s manic panic in your bones! Steve has crafted an anxiety train that doesn’t even stop to take a breath. Joyful or otherwise. I love the juxtaposition of high tension and total calm found in Eddie and Richard. They compliment each other perfectly.

There’s a wonderful balance of spooky and funny in this one act. Great relatable characters that reel you in effortlessly. Honestly, it is the perfect show for an all ages Halloween festival.

James Perry has crafted a slice of life piece of theater that cuts to the bone. The walls that go up and come down while trying to navigate what’s appropriate and what’s in demand create a maze that is exhausting to even consider entering, much less solving. This short piece touches on so many vital conversations, irreverent observations, and significant concerns that it is hard to believe that it is only 16 pages long. Bravo!

John Busser uses his considerable wit to tease out chortles as the world comes to end before our very eyes. An enjoyable zombie apocalypse appetizer that is sure to delight audiences.

I am all in for a Dr. Fluffles series. I cannot get enough of the indifferently evil feline. Adam Richter has created an endearing tale of broken ornaments, tired holiday conversations, and a cat with deliciously contrary motivations. A fractured festive fairy tale for the modern age.

A few scant years ago I had no idea what pickleball was. Now, I can’t go anywhere without hearing about it. This is a fresh, fun, witty play that delivers Shakespearean level machinations. The dialogue is crisp and natural while also uncommonly funny.
