The tension is high in this short play by Cern. One of the interesting things about this piece is liking both characters even thought they are at odds with each other. I love the ending whereby the boy gives something to the man after stealing from him. Great two-hander for two men: one older and one young.

A tale of love and loss from several perspectives. I really like the use of a flexible space with lighting changes and flashbacks. Karp makes you feel deeply for all the characters.

As a native New Yorker, I love these short vignettes. I have met every one of these people at some time. I especially love the cab driver...so New York! This trio of one minute plays would be a hit everywhere and to anyone who has visited or lived in NYC.

This lovely memory play reminds us all of our passage into adulthood. This story of a boy who becomes a man is universal and told so very gently. The ending will make you mourn.

Funerals can be sad, but this one brings out all the crazy characters you'd eve want to see. This short play has great, funny lines and a super ending. Who said funerals can't be fun?

This monologue reminded me of my Mom's bird feeder. Hers wasn't creepy though. I kept wondering what could be so small and so threatening. But it doesn't matter, because whatever it was, it served it's purpose. This is a swell monologue for an older woman. Let the birds sing.

Having seen a moose up close, I too love their lips. The one I used to see all the time in Vermont was named Murray. And yes moose lips are very special. Thinking about them could cause someone to kiss you!

Romance at middle age can seem daunting, but Christopher and Emma have found a way to make it sexy and romantic. This short play is naughty and nice.

It's a rare thing to be able to feel for both characters in a short, but Ms Schlomann has us by the throat.
At first it seems like a comedy, but eventually we hear about the heartbreak of both characters. A great piece for two women.
