  • A Daffodilly-Ding-Dong
    22 Feb. 2024
    CHRISTOPHER PLUMRIDGE had me at the first stage instructions, "All daffodils have their heads down, as the lights slowly come up, so do their heads, not all together, at their own speed." This charming short play for children is pure joy. Friends are wonderful, but sometimes we need to pull up our root and move to truly grow. LOVELY.
  • I'd do anything for love (but I won't do that)

    Four teens, alone in a cemetery, telling ghost stories with plans to raise the dead... WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? RACHEL has once again created a fascinating world with deep and full characters in just a few pages... and to think it all came from a simple prompt. High school thespians would love to bring these characters to life, and the lights and prop people would enjoy every minute of it too!

    Oh, the world inside of RACHEL FEENY-WILLIAMS' brain! This delightful children's play has everything: vivid characters, moments of tension, and colors... so many beautiful colors. This truly feels the start of a fabulous children's series where RAINBOW RITA brings joy and adventure to so many children.

    HILARIOUS! This short play by KATE DANLEY makes me think... what DOESN'T my iPhone do? Audiences will giggle along with this fabulous piece.

    WOW. I hope we aren't all returned to factory reset at the end of this crazy thing we call life. CHRISTOPHER SOUCY gives audiences something to really discuss in his play BEAR WITH ME. Do we cherish each moment? Each loved one? Each experience? I guess time will tell.
  • Fresh Hell

    Oh, how I don't miss these days! This hilariously relatable short play by BRIAN CERN in HILARIOUS! The pacing is perfect. The banter is priceless. The camp registration process? As the title says, a fresh hell.
  • The Bells of the Sea
    20 Feb. 2024
    Tales of the sea are legendary, and RACHEL FEENY-WILLIAMS' "The Bells of the Sea" is a fabulous new telling for the canon of sea stories that scare children and adults alike. Vengeance will be served as The Lady of the Sea is thrown by the wayside in this haunting tale. RACHEL's use of language is strong and poetic as a grandmother tells just one more bedtime story to her granddaughter.
  • Not About Pretty
    20 Feb. 2024
    Wow. Such a tragic and beautiful moment between two very different women. The tension that WENDY VOGEL has created with her thoughtful and poignant dialogue guides audiences to the exact significance of the moment at hand: syzygy - a pair of connected or corresponding things. Both women have lost. Both women have been hurt. Both women have risen from the ashes. Maybe they are that different after all.
  • Remember Me
    20 Feb. 2024
    What a gripping and tragic story told through the fragile words of a daughter needing answers. As GLEN DICKSON carefully writes, both the daughter and father in this scenario have and will continue to carve out a very different legacies as they move forward.

    A perfect monologue for election season! LEE R. LAWING creates art that brings the craziness of politics to life.
