    An absolute delight from beginning to end. j’s play engages in conversation with theatre of the absurd, while retaining a stunning originality and distinctive voice. These are characters that actors will be begging to bring to life. By far one of my favorite plays of the year.
  • Tender in the Spring, Tough in the Summer
    31 Aug. 2022
    This is a beautifully done play that highlights the unavoidability of a young love that can’t stay how it’s always been, no matter how many times the apologies are reset or reworked. The repeated use of nettles and tomatoes evokes the fresh feeling of summer and all the heartache that comes with it. A truly excellent ten minute play.

    A chilling gothic tale inspired from Brontëan traditions, McVay's play is an excitingly different look into being caught in the web of a familial cult. The Victorian setting contrasts with the use of modern language, and reminds the reader/watcher of the timelessness of its subject matter. Another excellent work from Eryn.
  • Eight Steps for Total Happiness

    Two very excellent monologues highlighting the never ceasing growing pains of being alive. Very smartly written.
  • Apocalypse Roadtrip
    12 Sep. 2020
    Nothing like the apocalypse to remind you of what really matters; talking about dumb stuff with your friends. Latham's method of using humor to cope with tragedy is expertly written, and every line packs a punch. The story snaps you right back into place the second you get too comfortable. An excellent ten minute!!
  • The Tragic Ecstasy of Girlhood
    16 Oct. 2019
    This is a piece that hurts in the best ways. Rockwell's characters are delightfully human, making their traumas and experiences all the more difficult to stomach. A wonderful play about with a hopeful and bittersweet end.

    A glance into how difficult it is to talk about depression, and how people who claim to understand can't take the brutal truth of it all.
  • Jeremiah's Creeping Arm
    8 Sep. 2019
    A short, sweet, and spooky play about how important the approval is of those that we love. McVay's lilting local legend makes this piece chill you to the bone right before it warms your heart.

    We love a manipulative character who half the time doesn't even realize they're being as manipulative as they are. Gordon fascinates me on so many levels, from his vision of what it means to apologize to why he does and says the things that he does. A fascinating study of relationships after trust has been shattered, and how dangerously subtle manipulation can be.
  • How Sweet The Sound

    An absolutely thrilling and horrific story. McVay excels at writing multi-faceted characters who keep secrets from each other, the audience, and even from themselves. A truly well-done play.
