Goofy, good, physical fun...including a ventriloquist (!) and wait, it's also a murder mystery, complete with a coffee-slinging "detective" and some serious HOA violations.

This piece leaves you with so many questions and yet at peace and okay with it all. Come what may. Floyd-Priskorn creates empathy for all of us who feel lost. The calm of this piece assures us we'll all be found. I appreciated her turning the sitting/standing power dynamic on its head. The power is magical. Kind. Real. Beautiful.

Excellent! From Debbie and her treatment of the "losers" and "suckers" in line with her to the general overwhelming "stupid" of it all, I love how Lawing turns a DMV-like bureaucratic nightmare situation into a blistering commentary on today's America. Bravo!

A funny, tender two hander for two female leads of color. Meghjee deftly weaves back and forth through time, from childhood, adolescence to young adulthood, as her characters explore what it means to be a Muslim, a female, a lover, a mother -- a human -- a human with duty and responsibilities to ourselves as well as to those we love.

Horrors for the haunted, indeed. No deed goes unpunished. A short two hander sure to send shivers down the spine.

I love authentic adaptations. This solo show will delight those familiar with Ishmael's tale of the white whale as well as an audience who has never heard of Captain Ahab -- oh, what a surprise awaits them as Boyle has managed to distill Melville's immense tome into ~90 minutes. Impressive. Original touches do nothing to detract from the original; and by adapting this tale to be played by only one versatile actor, the power of the story telling remains within the language itself, easily staged. Bravo.

This clever reimagining brings the multi-cultural setting of America today sharply and distinctly into focus through the lens of a cruel white woman of beige-colored privilege. The social commentary within the piece upholds the drama of the original as it will leave today's audiences as uncomfortable as Ibsen did in his Dano-Norwegian 19th century day. Bravo.

I so enjoyed seeing a recent production of this short play. It builds beautifully to its hysterical climax!

Charming. A meddlesome mom, talk of the theatre and the (all Fraunch!) "sin-aymah,” a gentleman caller in elbow patches who would give up a ticket to Hamilton for a date, ah, yes, I'd say Sickles's meet-cute has hit it off, indeed. Love the nod to Williams, but this one is beautifully modern: Lenore is thankfully no Amanda. Favorite line: "I don’t know, my mother hasn’t told me what I thought of it yet."

"I hate chablis." If that doesn't capture the entitlement of this Karen, then nothing does. But one cannot help but feel a little sympathy for this lonely, blind, intolerant and angry woman who drives everyone away from her and is left totally alone, without even her body pillow to cry into.
