This attention-seeking woman has more in view than the "sleazy" images on her laptop. She's reached menopause and is on a mission. Literally. Lovers of claustrophobic airplane thrillers will love this short play and the props department will have a blast!

Such fun, especially at this time of the year. Lovers of classic tales of horror will be charmed with this delightful duo... and everyone loves potty puns. Want more of this well-connected exterminator? Rumor has it we'll be seeing more of them soon!

A super psychological thriller grounded in a very real reality for many new mothers. A mother knows... And Belvins captures the isolation and helplessness of a new father, as well. And then, things just get weird. Great lighting design and sound design opportunities for this short horror. Brava, playwright!

"Somehow, amidst the end of the world, a booking agent managed to create a chamber orchestra tour of the grand castles of Europe." This reminded me of a very dark Peter and the Wolf. Where all are in danger of "turn[ing] against [them]selves." Now they are down to seven. A parable of our times, set to music.

McClain deftly weaves together two stories, one set in the modern day and the other, the past and yet the parallels are disturbingly real. Progress is disturbingly absent. Both stories are equally compelling. Brava, playwright. Timely ...and timeless...? With work like McClain's being produced on stage to bring this subject matter to light, hopefully not.

I dislike Valentine's Day about as much as these two and I totally want them to get together and trade intelligent quips and quotes all evening. A fun short meet cute for a February festival, or any time of the year.

A super work in progress. Some of the greatest comics are the most sensitive of people. They are artists after all. There's a metaphysical element to this piece which nonetheless remains completely real. I was fortunate to be able to attend an online reading of this piece and immediately fell for the characters. Some super humor despite the dark subject matter. "It takes a lot of effort. Being alive."

I love this couple. This is true love. Fun set to design for this short comic piece and a great ending. Brava!

A meta-theatrical Halloween short perfect for mystery and spooky season lovers. Bravo, Soucy!

Two boys on the cusp of adulthood, playing as boys do "on the edge," not quite ready to dive in, unaware of what the future holds. Sweet, charming, sensual and loaded with budding teenage angst.
