The real show is in the audience and what a great use of the intermission, but to embrace the idea of a second act? Lovely!

A hilarious spin on Waiting for Godot applied to life in the theatre that is just perfect!

A visceral experience that makes you confront the human condition as life and death meet. Do we want to know what will happen to us? What would we do differently if we did? Excellent.

A heartfelt peek inside the lives of three women on the road trip of life that brings a highly politicized issue to the human level that is needed to understand and empathize. It could easily be any one of us.

The dance of a relationship, the ability to come to agreements and the emotional journey that comes with it are beautifully laid out in an experience we can all relate to. Excellent.

A thought provoking play that takes a keen look at identity, what it means to those who belong to it and the efforts to enclose the box. Who belongs and why do we shut people out?

A powerful look inside the lives the lives of a group of people coping with loss and searching for connection. Beautifully done.

A powerful look at abuse within a family and the silent observers. When will the cycle be broken and when will people no longer watch from the sidelines?

A critical piece that needs to be seen. Right in front of our eyes, the most vulnerable of our population are exploited and employed with criminally low wages. How do we justify it?

There are no guarantees and the world looks bleaker than ever for graduates. Not exactly a future to be inspired by, but how can we fix it?
