More than just a topical play, more than courtroom drama, Kelly's WC forces you to ask an important question -- Is truth changeable? Kelly examines the concept of objective truth through scenes of interrogation, attorney-client and courtroom exchanges. Don't take this play as just about an ideological war between America and the Islamic State; it's a play about people, about us -- about who or what determines truth. His dialog is impressive, so believable, as if he actually listened outside the door of an ICC chamber.

Koppen captures perfectly the frustration an adult child feels when criticized by his/her bizarre parent. A totally relatable play with plenty of laughs.

This is a perfect competition monologue for a young actor. It's a powerful historical play that makes you think about children today who are fighting in civil wars all across our globe.

An unexpected, intelligent comedy inspired by an iconic photograph. Yes, it's silly at times because it's a great short comedy, but it's serious in its artistic intention. The woman's monologue near the end is perfect, brilliant in what it says about women and their relationship to war. Bravo.

You wouldn't want Bingo at your child's birthday party. But you might want to book him for your funeral, so he can chew to bits anyone on your hate list. Kidding aside, this is a powerful, unforgettable monologue -- raw, intense, cruel like the characters in Guyton's prison monologues. This character makes me wonder why we are so drawn to vicious characters... Perhaps, they're the ones that suffered some childhood trauma or they've just suffered...just like us. Bravo, again.

A hilarious bromance. Believable characters, spot on sports dialog. These dudes exist, no exaggeration in this play.

To boldly go where no audience has gone before. An original, entertaining, intelligent sci-fi play on love and relationships. Barbot's imagination on display in this play makes me want to check out his other plays.

This play will wreck you. Makes you wonder about what kids talk about at playgrounds when they're not playing.

Compelling tension between two men representing two different 'gay' generations. Intense, sexy short play that is NECESSARY THEATRE: it'll get people talking about ignorance, fear and sex after the AIDS crisis. If you're producing an evening of gay contemporary plays, it's imperative you choose this play.

Hoke, again, has created memorable personalities in short time. The plot builds in intensity toward a shocking curtain-drop line that really makes you think. It makes you think not just about gay couples (if you're part of the GLBT community), but about any romantic relationship, married or not, your own or someone else's. Are you making specific plans/choices to make your relationship legit/approved because society/community expects it of you or because you're really in love? I would enjoy seeing this couple in a longer work.
