More than about the paranormal, it's about finding that rare spark in someone and finding joy with them, letting them transform your life from ordinary to extraordinary. This would be a treat for your Halloween showcase.

A Christmas play like this can get people out of the house to the theatre. Reading this kind of Christmas play will inspire theatres to produce an entire evening of such plays. It's ridiculous fun. I would love to see actors in their reindeer costumes.

The meaning of Happy Holidays and its traditions and the playwright's themes of forgiveness, queerness, and connection with family members are explored in clever and fun ways through an immersive theatre experience with audience participation with crafts. There's are some bad jokes, some touching moments of discovery, some truths about mourning that make for a community-based experience. Check it out!

The script is smart about what it says about codependence and breakup that makes it relatable, but does so in a surprising way. This is hilarious! It definitely surprised me because I didn't read the synopsis, I just thought it was a breakup monologue with a GUY and then BAM the ending.

What an incredible ensemble piece! With the zany spirit similar to Noises Off and the charm of Full Monty, this play captures the spirit of community theatre in survival mode. Line by line hilarious, while at same time communicating something about why we do theatre for community and ourselves when there's Netflix and other distractions.

Wonderfully strange. A costume designer would have fun with this!

An arresting solo play about a veteran and their struggle to heal the mind and spirit, and to make amends. We need this kind of theatre to spotlight the mental health of our soldiers and show that their transition back to normalcy takes time, session after session. The power is in the detail of VR sessions and that shocking event that almost ruined a family, and the pacing between past and present. It's a monologue on the edge, doesn't waste a minute.

An owl wises up about the state of the world, high from its perch, in this poetic eco-monologue. Perfect for a festival on environmental themes. Does more in a minute, than most ten minutes. Designers will love this.

A brillant rant about WRITING MONOLOGUES and criticizing them while DELIVERING A MONOLOGUE. It's hilarious but also a great snapshot of a playwright, complicated and insecure. And the ending. Ha!

Trippy! Far-out imagery that creates vivid and disturbing (and funny) scenes in your head. It's a sensory overload and it's amazing. The playwright takes you on a ride and you don't want to get off. A perfect choice for a festival on UFOs, alien abductions, Halloween, the paranormal, or just sci-fi. Loved it!
