So very real, relatable and very funny. Great conclusion!

Floyd-Priskorn always has a lesson to teach us in the most seemingly absurd way possible. Nothing is ever what you'd expect eg a very dark "celestial" being messing with Merlot, sorry, Merl's head. But by the end, it's exactly what you needed to hear. The lighting and costume designer will have a blast with this short piece, as will your audience.

Six young women in a US sanatorium face a "new normal". Historical, but never didactic. Love the active use of the fourth wall and the field glasses to highlight their isolation as well as their ultimate connection with one another. This piece, while it explores some heavy themes, is never weighty; it is accessible. Easy to produce. So what are you waiting for?

Tesseract. Tough. Tender. Tense. And frighteningly possible. They're "putting people on planes and sending them anywhere?!?" Yes. But we don't have to place ourselves in another existence or dimension or another plane of existence to see the truth of what is happening, what can happen and what has happened throughout time. Excellent work.

Such lovely magical, witty repartee. I'll find myself quoting some of these lines: "in mind, we matter"..."Then say yes to the cupcake and no to constantly being polite." We all have times when we feel a bit lost and a nice game of "not every game is chess" played by our own rules and in the company of a Cheshire cat seems about just the right thing to me.

Aly Kantor reaches for and attains something of the metaphysical in her work and brings us skillfully along for the ride. "Having a body sucks. It sucks." Every time I read one of her works, I find myself in it somehow. And audience's will too.

Imagine "that somewhere, in some other universe there’s a version of us that has a past [...] and a future filled with happiness." Read this lovely one act to see how Byham dilates time for these two characters as they distort their own space-time reality and seek comfort in their final moments together. A beautiful ending.

Christopher Soucy takes us on a shooting spree, from the perspective of the gun. Horrific, and too unfortunately necessary.

Debra A. Cole gives us "a front row seat" into 35 years of watching young people grow into their "humanity" -- lovely.

Well, "I’ll be the son of a small, furry mammal hiding in ferns" if this isn't the cutest read I've had today. Lots of puns and fun for all audiences. A real "human interest" story! And a costume and sound designer's treat. Brava.
