  • The Age of Understanding or, The Character of Dad by Franky D. Gonzalez
    10 Mar. 2020
    “ A beautiful piece about the emotional baggage men inherit from their fathers and pass on to their children. It is a very raw and touching exploration of parenting, marriage, masculinity and the ability to communicate in an openly loving way. ”
  • In Memory of Calvinball by Erin Moughon
    10 Mar. 2020
    “ Love is a game, and a pretty wacky one at that, and these two characters play game on top of game in this terrific short play. It’s funny and theatrical, and revealing in sly ways. I really enjoyed it. ”
  • The Lumpp Family Reunion by Marjorie Bicknell
    7 Mar. 2020
    “ The aptly named Lumpp family literally blows each other up at several family reunions over three scenes separated by years and played in reverse chronological order. It’s a lot of fun, and a sly slap at our American holidays and love of fireworks explosions and the carelessness with which we treat each other. ”
  • The Feline Optometrist by Marjorie Bicknell
    7 Mar. 2020
    “ This is a hilarious private eye noir spoof about cats with eyeglasses, deaf guitar testers, and a hard boiled dick named, well... Dick. Lots of laughs. Great lines and a really wacky plot. Tons of fun. ”
  • 38 Cookies, 39 Reasons [a monologue] by Steven G. Martin
    1 Mar. 2020
    “ What an interesting concept. Each reason for eating a cookie is familiar and resonant with layers of emotion and identification in the minds of the audience. And then there’s the act of eating the cookies. Or not. Cool.

  • In Transit by Rachel Lynett
    29 Feb. 2020
    “ Nice short slice of life play about an accidental meeting in an airport between exes, with two complex and nuanced roles for women, and excellent dialogue. ”
  • Two-Timing Loaf of Bread by Ryan M. Bultrowicz
    27 Feb. 2020
    “ What a great absurdist idea to use a loaf of bread as a character in this tale of romance and betrayal. Very very funny and a couple of great roles. ”
  • The Children Who Played at Slaughter by David Hansen
    27 Feb. 2020
    “ This is a gut-wrenching tale of adolescent cruelty with deep echoes of both Lord of the Flies and Christian mythology. Chilling and exciting theatre. ”
  • A SAFE PLACE by Rachael Carnes
    26 Feb. 2020
    “ This is docu-drama done well. It is a raw and un-adorned memorial to the victims of the Christchurch mass shooting. It does not force or plead a response, it simply lays bare the painful facts. ”
  • Eleanor Descending a Staircase by Ian August
    26 Feb. 2020
    “ This play is so funny I couldn’t stop laughing at the character list. It perfectly captures the gleeful nonsense of Dada, and skewers the lengths consumers will go to get what they want. Great fun! ”
