The horrors of the world are often translated into art. Here, Nora Louise Syran has delivered a diabolically relevant horror tale for our times. Are we strong enough to rebuke the evils that possess our leaders? I pray to God we are.

Talk about your deals with the devil! A delightful divorce proceeding with a touch of hellfire for flavor. John gives us a helluva send up of two dubious characters in a fight for their lives. Or at least livelihoods.

Well, this just put all the heebies in my jeebies! Haunting and disconcerting, this take on the classic highway ghost is a surreal beat nightmare. Excellent journey into a nightmarish dreamscape.

In the immortal words of Admiral Ackbar, “It’s a trap!” This clever, scary, quick horror play has all the ingredients for a spine tingling evening at the theater! The tension is incredible from the start and only gets more tense as the story moves on. And what I wouldn’t give to work the effects magic necessary for this one.

Wow! The birth of a horror icon! This is a creepy, spooky tale worthy of campfires everywhere! Give it a read if you dare!

I am a certified plant assassin. This play called me out on every misstep and miscalculation of my plant murdering career. Kudos to Debra Cole for delightfully skewering those of us who lack green thumbs. This is a wonderfully comic tale about the need for measured care and proper hydration.

What a loving looking at the power of true friendship. There is no time or distance that can diminish it. And this play delightfully shows that sometimes conflict is not just in what happens but in the expectations that we have.

It's so hard to win a game when you don't know what the rules are. Miranda Jonté plays with the notion that maybe we should bet on our better nature, and the real risk of this high-stakes gamble is that we may never truly know what we are meant to do.

What a lovely puzzle. It illustrates how each of us carry a piece of some vast picture that takes others to bring to focus. And it addresses how the weight each piece burdens us with dictates the course of our lives. Scott Sickles excels at quiet moments that speak volumes. A truly captivating slice of drama.

A quick shot of Sickles to get your day rolling! Poignant and telling, this short piece winks at the epidemic of loneliness.
