  • The Trouble with Mustard Greens by Maximillian Gill
    26 Feb. 2020
    “ “ The Trouble with Mustard Greens” is a terrific monologue that functions as a two-hander between a young woman and her Punjabi mother who is cooking a traditional Indian dish offstage. Their relationship is revealed through the food: the ingredients, the recipes, the bond of cultural identity that both unites them and divides them. The writing is likewise both simple and complex. ”
  • Stick by Maximillian Gill

    “ What a beautiful meditation on acceptance and forgiveness. The characters are the same person at different stages of life, but also different people, becoming, in relation to each other, like son, father, grandfather. Life is over before you know it, forgive yourself while there is time ”
  • Annnd Scene (of the Crime) by John Busser
    21 Feb. 2020
    “ This short play is a very funny take on improv acting seen through a police investigation of a backstage murder. The truth emerges bit by bit through a series of hilarious theatre style improv games. Very cleverly done. ”
