Love this super sweet short two-hander with what feels like a cameo-of-sorts of Lin-Manuel Miranda; so appreciate the moral of one of my favorites: "Only connect" (E.M. Forster) as that -between humans, between fellow creatives - really is enough. The effect this encounter has had on this young writer is just perfect. Brava!

Sam Heyman not only has taken on a wacky surprise Secret Santa Title but signed himself up for a holiday bake-off of his own wonderfully crazy and imaginative Santa Sack time and space bending making! One more thing to say: Language!

A lovely short play with some amusing physical humor, easy staging and mechanical airplane malfunctions to amuse actors and audience alike. A little gem for the holidays.

I can see a whole series of these tales alluding to Biblical pride, folly, greed, cruelty etc told through a lens only Ken Love could conjure up. Intense!

A two-hander with whiskey--which is a good thing as Father Dan is going to need it. There's a lot to mull over in this piece. What if we really are living in a clockwork universe we share with our Creator? It's simple in terms of staging but will definitely leave an audience with something to think about.

I loved everything about this fabulous two hander for women. Love the confinement of the space, the whiteness of it to really show off those colors, and the contained dialogue within, the tension ramping up, the acoustic tiles falling, the metronome ticking away and the world of competition giving way to one of collaboration. "There are only two women, and they are equals here." Brava, playwright.

There's something simultaneously lonely and lovely about this piece. Jonte reveals the courage, time and energy it takes to carve out the physical time and space a Creative needs for themselves to be alone, to write, to create. Not having that space is real loneliness, not the "eight million people who left you alone." (Nov 4, 2024)

Oh my G-word! This play will have lovers and haters of Disney and Tarantino laughing their B-word off. I especially loved the "method actor" cameo who somehow manages to slip past the censors as do the language and allusions of Disney's very own paycheck writer! Clever. Bravo Mr. Busser (Nov 4, 2024)

It's not every day you read something that makes your skin crawl and your belly ache with laughter all at the same time. Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn weaves magic into much of her work and this play is no exception, but it will surprise you, how she manages to "let it loose"- that's for certain! Sleep well! And put those cell phones away! Don't you know that blue light is bad for you!? (Oct 20, 2024)

Hilarious piece of situational comedy for four actors. A super satisfying ending, great moments for fun, physical humor and the dialogue just zips along. Love the title. Brava, playwright! (Oct 29, 2024)
