Has Williams plied his protagonist with a bit too much "geistiges Getränk"--Schnaps? Spirits!? (Three to be exact!) Read this for yourself if you're in the mood for A CHRISTMAS CAROL with a twist...of melatonin. Fun!

There's much to unpack in this powerful piece. The realistic yet symbolic setting, the meal motif, the well-drawn characters...everything comes into sharp focus as forces pull them from their "decadence on an unprecedented level" and they are left with humanity's "stored knowledge" and fragile, newly won liberties in literal and figurative ruins. Rising up and ultimately winning? Let's hope so. Gatton teaches (without being didactic) and it is a powerful lesson.

A fascinating ride through the stories of these women's lives: A Concubine. Fille de joie. Paramour. King’s Favorite... Tender, powerful and questioning. Brava Beth Blatt!

A dark, funny, real, imaginative celebration of life. Tropes, music and moments of magic heighten both the comedy and the tragedy of this theatrical memento mori, a living wake. Pushes buttons. "But wait, there's more!" Well done.

Another super short vivacious snippet of a play by Debra A. Cole. Fun for three generations of actors to perform. Brava!

So naughty! A fun, sexy short that works really well as an audio play. You can always turn to Busser for a good giggle; I'm sure Janice would agree.

Love, love, and love. This short play manages to capture the essence of royal absurdity --"the title is only... titular"--ha! Just when you think it couldn't get any more absurd, Sickles piles on the puns and ridiculousness-es. Thank you for a well needed laugh this morning!

Floyd-Priskorn serves up a fun twist on the conventional job interview scenario. Oh, it's going to be difficult to surpass Carl and his Creationist training (and his Platypus) with only level 2 Second City training!

Oh, fark! I've a lot to learn from Ricardo Soltero-Brown's play THE DOG, especially in regard to the dialogue. He weaves a captivating narrative exploring the complexities of love and relationships. A and B engage in a fast-paced dialogue that skillfully avoids addressing fundamental issues. (I "love" the motif of blindness, especially in plays.) Useful things, tails. Clear. This play's strength lies in the juxtaposition of their verbal obfuscations with the Dog's direct and violent response. Fascinating. Sharp monologues. I just might need to re-read it!

This is an inventive fusion of humor, intelligence, and the endearing quirkiness of felines. Within the whimsical realm of cats and their humans, Thal seamlessly incorporates elements of mathematics, physics, and absurdity, crafting an engaging narrative. Great fun--for cat lovers, especially!
