“ Another delightful chapter in the Bascom & Isaac saga, pulling in another character from the Greater Sicklesverse: Bascom's friend Fred, last seen in the Destination Wedding series. Jealousy is the subject here, but what we're given isn't a simple romantic triangle: with the title character in play, it's more of a parallelogram. A witty and warm exploration of making space not only for a new lover, but for all they bring with them. ”

“ Horror works best when it plays on real-life fears, and boy does Jillian Blevins understand that here, as she takes the anxiety, exhaustion, depression, and loss-of-self common to new motherhood and plays them out to a terrifying and heartbreaking extreme. Harrowing. ”

“ It's often said that good writing finds the universal in the specific, and Scott Sickles proves that point spectacularly in Punch Bowl. You'd be hard-pressed to get more specific than a meet-cute between two neurodivergent bears (including one specifically *Asian* neurodivergent bear) at a lesbian wedding, but I'll be damned if everyone on earth won't identify with their universal feelings of self-consciousness, longing, desire, and unexpected courage. Sweet, lovely, and witty as hell ("profoundly uncatered" had me from the jump), this short play magnificently showcases Sickles' bone-deep mastery of the short romance. ”

“ This outrageous, goofy satire, chock-full of absurd comic flourishes, nonetheless manages to ask sincere and meaningful questions about the clash between personal and corporate ethics. The satirical targets here are clear and ripe, the questions about civic responsibility in a ruthless capitalist system are on point, and the personal journey is...well, a delightful surprise. A great opportunity for both gonzo comic performances and serious thought. Funny, sweet, and scathing. ”
