I saw this at Theatre 33's Holiday Shorts show and it was so charming. A warm, nostalgic look at the bananas behavior of homemakers past. Ah, the good ol' days... Enjoy your Christmas head cheese, everyone!

So delightfully absurdist! This play hooks you in with its wordplay and never lets up. It engages your mind like a riddle and got the creaky cogs in my noggin humming.

I could watch a whole, full length production of this fun! When folks talk about needing to update Shakespeare to appeal to today's audiences, I'm going to send them to this play. What a hoot!

Such a great, twisty sci-fi short that takes the tropes of The Twilight Zone and plays with them gleefully. There's a couple lines that made me, literally, laugh out loud as I was reading. Would be so much fun to see live!

The thing about satire is that the closer it is to the truth? The funnier it is. And this is HILLARIOUS. This is exactly what a writers' group at the end of the world would look like. And the NEED to incorporate the apocalypse for ART is so spot on. I laughed loudly. This would slay at a short festival!!

As a performer trying to work up the courage to step off the Zoom screen and into a room, this hit at a gut level. IRL is tough, but this sweet little monologue gives voice to all the insecurities and craziness and allows us to laugh at ourselves (while also nodding our head and going, "It me.")

Snappy, witty dialog with great rhythms! It flies along at the speed of comedy! It is a perfect piece for older high school/college performers. These two women are so identifiable and written so well. Highly recommend!

Hilarious! From the very first lines I knew I was going to love this play and it does not disappoint! The horrors of capitalism meets our food supply and it is all on full, witty display here. I, literally, laughed out loud.

A heartbreaking short about the real horrors we face, horrors that are more terrifying than anything you'll see dreamed up in Hollywood. Great piece!

I caught this at The Taproot Theatre and I can barely put into words how gorgeous it was. Complex characters, great roles for women and BIPOC actors, a fascinating world set during Reconstruction in Texas, lyrical prose, and when it delved into conflict, the characters never lost their three-dimensional humanity or vulnerability. And with a cast of four people and easy staging requirements, it is such a "doable" play. I hope many, many other theatres pick up this show!
