Melodrama at its finest and shortest! I could see the "you must pay the rent villain" rightly trussed up and ready to get his comeuppance! But instead of the "I'll pay the rent hero" we've the damsel turned daring, ready to force a pay-it-foward apology to damsels in distress everywhere.

What a road trip! Gatton pulls us along through this nightmare of gun violence and the heaviness of being human and the weight of the moral obligation of a debt to be repaid. These are beautifully crafted, complex characters; Morrison's "Love is never better than the lover” came to mind. Gatton wraps us up in the nightmares so much so you'll need to take a deep breath at the end of each and every one.

Completely wild, wacky and wonderful. Meta-melodramatic theatrical super-SILLY-iousness! With a cup of coffee.

"I never recycle!" What starts out amusing enough turns very dark. See what our Mistress of Ceremonies has in store for the trash that needs taking out... catch it on the GATHER BY THE GHOSTLIGHT podcast. https://www.podpage.com/gather-by-the-ghost-light/ep-48-open-mic-night-…

This play is all at once physically funny and touchingly sentimental, in all the right places. Think Noël Coward's Blithe Spirit meets Stand By Me. Brava!

Cole's voice and travel experience come through loud and clear in this short, funny piece. I am sure Luis has gotten the message load and clear as well.

This work documents artist Martha Lysa's experiences in war-torn Ukraine. Hopefully her country's story will be soon turning a new page, but Martha's words, stewarded by Plumridge, are preserved: motifs--her people's hatred of Putin but sympathy for the fallen enemy dead and captured, the constant noise of air raid siren warnings, battles with insomnia and juxtaposed images of hope and desire to create amidst the destruction-- serve as powerful reminders of the ever present importance to speak out and spread truth in the face of so many lies. Important.

Oh, I do love a short play that opens up to so much! So much possibility. Is a kiss ever "just" a kiss? But a hello? A goodbye? The open-endedness of this lovely short play is wonderful. Brava.

Freud meets O'Keefe. This probably explains why she once said, "I hate flowers"! An amusing and thought provoking short play. Indeed, sometimes a flower really is just a flower. Tech will have fun keeping Freud amply provided with an ever present cigar. Sometimes a cigar is ... Brava!

Loved this! It's like running your eyes over a menu in your favorite Chinese restaurant and salivating over it all until DING! the waiter comes and you have to make up your mind! Funny, sexy, saucy...oh her puns are very much intended. Wang sparkles. The actors and audience will have a blast. Pao Pao Pao!
