This is a great farce filled with physical comedy and misunderstandings, but at the heart of it is a really sweet love story. Hilary Bluestein-Lyons gives us an update to Charlie Brown's gang that's 100% organic and true to the spirit of the original characters.

This poignant and touching play illustrates perfectly the hell that it is to be an Alzheimer's patient and the hell of being an Alzheimer's patient's grown child. Jacquelyn Floy-Priskorn does a great job setting this play in a virtual environment, though it could easily be staged in front of a live audience if those days ever return. Great job!

Besides the genius staging of this play — who needs Zoom when you've got an open field? — what I love most about this play is how Hank appears to be a wacko at first but as the play progresses you realize his search for UFOs is really quite grounded and rational. Watching these two characters take the journey from the beginning of the play to the end is a real joy.

An all-too-relatable and funny, sharp comedy about the hell that is writer's block. Philip Middleton Williams nails the dilemma with humor and crackling dialogue.

Hilarious and heartfelt. Eddie's monologue would be a real treat to perform live. It's so full of manic energy and he keeps you riveted, wondering where it's all going to end up (and if there really will be a wedding in the end).

A funny, charming and insightful monologue that I found an absolute delight to read. I loved the jokes but even more I loved the emotional honesty of the piece, how Matthew Weaver reveals things that so many of us keep hidden from the world in making the (quite compelling) case to date him.

This play is heartbreaking, and not because the end of the world is imminent. Scott does such a good job at making big catastrophes intimate (see the Second World Trilogy if you don't believe me). You find yourself rooting for Lars and Benno, and hoping the meteor will hold off long enough for them to resolve their issues.

The line between adding diverse voices and flat-out cultural appropriation is a blurry one, but Hayley St. James brings it into sharp focus with this insightful and incisive monologue.

This is a quick-moving, funny play that finally asks (and answers) the burning question: If you're not going to cover up a hole in the bathroom wall with a framed photo of Richard Nixon, then how will you cover it? This has great sharp banter and physical comedy that would make it a hoot onstage.

The problem with older siblings is that they get everything and it's still not enough. Justine has a plan to fix that in this delightfully twisted monologue. She's a monster, but Sickles makes it clear that all of her demented moves are, in a way, rational.
