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!

This is a reassuring dialogue between a grandfather and his granddaughter about the presence of a departed loved one in nature. Its emotional depth, simplicity, and connection to characters make this play memorable and heartwarming.

The stuff of nightmares...in the best way possible (!?) Chilling.

This sweet Christmas play is a lovely balance between the Elf-like antics of "does somebody want a hug" (my vision of next year's Christmas with these two crazy "kids" in the park trying to catch a raccoon) and a beautifully subtle allusion to The Twelve Days of Christmas's "Two Turtle Doves" and the love (and other things...) filling Whiskers G. Harding's cat carrier. A short play for two mature (?!) actors. Love it.
