I am a Shakespeare NERD and nothing thrills my heart more than to dive into his text. I had so much fun doing a side-by-side of this Hamlet, which takes the later text, but puts it into the structure of the first "Bad" Quarto. It is a lean variation that stays true to both versions. If you have an outdoor Shakespeare theatre or touring company, check this out! You get all the punch of Hamlet, but in about two hours (without feeling like you've lost anything.)

A heartbreakingly beautiful piece that will bring tears to your eyes. This short play packs an achingly good punch.

Oh that too-recognizable tension of leaving a job and all of the demands and pressure as you try to get out the door, set against the backdrop of the larger world and bigger picture. The twist at the end brings everything into focus. A really lovely piece!

A immersive piece that puts the audience into the world that faces detained immigrants everyday. Margaret O'Donnell's experience as an immigration attorney shines a light on a reality that few of us see with honestly and truth. Very powerful stuff!

What starts as a comedic take on the high-stakes crime negotiation trope, except set in a seafood restaurant, delivers such a delicious, Twilight Zone twist at the end! Fun!

It's a play-within-a-play! It's a screwball comedy! It's a farce! It's all these things, but most of all, it is flippin' hysterical. As actors cold read from the wrong drafts of a play in development, this quick little piece avalanches into the funny. I would love to see this performed onstage! What a treat!

A beautiful monologue filled with heart. The imagery is evocative and filled with so much love for the farmer described. Really lovely!

Totally fun! Totally silly! And I dunno how the playwright was able to channel the inner monologue of a cat so well, but you KNOW this is exactly what they are thinking about us. Well done!

A haunting fairytale that honors the traditional roots of these stories as cautionary tales. The prose is lyrical and poetic, and the whole thing unfolds like a dream.

A hilarious dark comedy set in an apocalypse. All the things you hate about your coworkers are pinned up against the stakes for survival. I feel like I have worked with all of these characters. Relatable, funny, and so clever!
