  • All Things Considered, It Was Probably the Most Productive Meeting The Escondido Unified School District PTA Ever Had
    8 May. 2021
    An absolute scream riot that stands at the top of the class of the burgeoning genre of COVID plays and that is thanks to Ditty's ability to let the pandemic take a backseat to the very human collateral problems that are popping up like acne in the isolation age. A high definition snapshot of a very specific moment in our history that I believe has the potential to endure the test of time.
  • Untethered
    7 May. 2021
    Klass explores the instability of one's identity after long term relationships end. When the rose tinted glass is removed and the rest of the colors start rushing in, the truth is revealed and it is a marvel to behold. There is always love to find if you're willing to accept it, most importantly from yourself.
  • Weird Rabbit's Foot
    3 May. 2021
    A lightning speed analysis of personal boundaries, where we place value, and how much humanity we're willing to compromise in the name of carnal gratification..

    Seriously though, let's look at that picture again.
  • WHEN THE EARTH MOVES, WE DANCE
    30 Apr. 2021
    A vibrant, mythic adventure featuring a pantheon of Puerto Rican gods and folk heroes fighting for survival as their island dies beneath their feet and foreign influences seek to eradicate what remains of their culture. A beautiful love letter and a ray of light in the darkest of hours.
  • Black Lipstick Girl

    A tight short that plays on audience expectations and expertly subverts them right before they come to fruition. Well-crafted, funny, and sharp.
  • Six Autumns on the Hudson
    30 Mar. 2021
    Andersen's river journey takes us through time by way of expertly paced and executed scenes that weave into one another like memory itself. What's more is her portrayal of our own dedication to artistic philosophies and the folly in limiting your perspective, even if it's a wide lens. This play is about so much more than painting, it's an exercise in how to live with your art without losing sight of what makes the practice worth it.
  • What Happens When You Research Practically Anything In This Country

    Less is more and this distillation of the newfound engagement our population is training themselves to employ is absolute perfection.
  • Happy Together
    25 Mar. 2021
    This play is a knife fight in a tight corner; Intimate and Harrowing. Gonzalez’s characters are deceptively simple yet contain multitudes. This is further emphasized by the split casting of the Cuckold which in and of itself is a stroke of pure genius.
  • The Mirror
    17 Mar. 2021
    A breakneck comedy that accurately depicts the collective "walls closing in" feeling of the last year. Shit jobs, bad relationships, and neglected health regimens are just the tip of the iceberg and Young's heroine is ready to take life back from the wolves.

    In a sea of hackneyed COVID-era plays, this stands tall as an example of how to parse collective trauma in a way that's funny, true, and affirming.
  • Big Dogs
    17 Mar. 2021
    Wade's absurd job interview gone terribly right is a laugh out loud romp. Weaving in the elements I personally adore about open A/B character plays while simultaneously keeping us firmly anchored to the clear message it's getting across. I NEED THIS PRODUCT!
