This had me from the get-go. I loved the setup (and how prescient!) of a romantic thriller set in a time of chaos and uncertainty. The play also lets the characters play out the story like some bizarre, screwball comedy with germ warfare as the backdrop. I loved it.

Weird, funny, meta (loved the shout out to the playwright), bizarre, and in need of another production. An absurd take on Christmas filtered through the ideal ad man. I thought this was a hoot and a half!

A fairy tale exploring the "happily ever after" ramifications, and it does so in a funny, inspired way. I enjoyed this from beginning to end and would love to see this sort of silliness on a stage somewhere. It's exactly the kind of tale I love.

A little gem reminding us that EVERYTHING feels the consequences of life's curveballs, even those things that we take (or in this case, leave) for granted. And it also shows us that a little kindness goes a long way to inspiring hope. Not the worst message we could get from a little plant on a shelf.

Ruben's silent work here speaks volumes about the fear and anticipation we're all going through in a simple elegant fashion. This is why we create art.

Hahahahahaha! Mission accomplished Katie! This made me laugh. It'll make you laugh too. If you like your plays fast, fun and with air-tight plotting. Damn, I couldn't resist. See what she did? She got me digging my own grave here...

A play that will make you uneasy for all of it's ramifications, from the identity of it's main characters to the inevitability of it's conclusion. It's almost a mercy this is an ultra short play, due to Lam's pitch-perfect plot and writing. Sobering stuff.

A sad, thoughtful and clever play about how traumatic experiences manifest and why. Partain literally shows us how our past is always with us and how we survive it's company. It's a monster of an idea that will stay with many who see it, but for the right reasons.

I loved this piece as it's absurd premise took me by surprise at the twist near the end of the play. I thought I knew where it was going and I just didn't. I'll bet audiences would love being blindsided like that. Well done Colleen.

A ruthless reminder to watch for what we wish for. This is heartbreaking in it's forward march to a total collapse of two lives. Both Mother and Daughter here suffer the consequences of their actions. Powerfully written.
