Brad Sytsma channels his inner Mr. Bean with a delightfully visual exercise in obsession as a man tries unsuccessfully to have a peaceful lunch in the park ands is bothered by a fly. Using sound only to convey the annoyance is brilliant and the actor would have full sway to get as physical with the role as possible, this play would be a wonder to see performed.

Some people take the reality of the stage to exceptional lengths as A and B find out from C in this fast-paced comedic journey by George Sapio. Playing with method acting, revenge, sexual desires and lots of paperwork, the fun starts right from the get-go. I loved the Pavlovian touch of alerting the actors of the impending curtain with declarations of "10", "5" and so on. Would be fun to see staged.

I sooooooo look forward to Evan Baughfman's seriously twisted point of view. He knows how to take overdone horror tropes and give them a Twilight Zone-esque kick in the pants to make his plays that much more entertaining. His pulling the rug out from under the audience's expectations not once, but twice had me grinning as I got to the end. You will be too.

Well THAT escalated quickly! What a ride we're taken on, as two very sexually frustrated women voice (or maybe howl) those frustrations and decide to embrace their inner beasts. Addressing everything from body image, diet hassles, sexual wants versus sexual gets, this piece says some very smart things while wrapped up in a horror story. Well worth your time.

I don't know about you but I WANT to see this version of Christmas Carol! Tiny Tim on wheels would be a sight to see. With visions of Bionic Scrooge dancing in our heads, this would be perfect for a night of X-Mas themed shows.

A fun little play that both embraces and skewers Christmas traditions while adding some new twists. Playing out like an old noir murder mystery, David Beardsley gives us a terrific little present that would delight an audience.

A funny as hell little goof piece from Jacquie Floyd! What more could you want? A monster and its victim face off. Death is imminent. Or is it? I love the fact that the monster isn't destroyed as much as deconstructed. And the last line made my do a spit take. Even though I wasn't drinking anything at the time. You can't go wrong with The Monster.

I loved this piece by James McLindon! Satan is put through his paces by the two Walmart dunderheads he encounters and it couldn't be funnier. His insistence that they choose something more worthy of his talents than providing steakhouse coupons is hilarious. But they got what they wanted, didn't they? A crown pleaser.

Oh the perils of the "advanced feature" feature. This hilarious little gem from Anne Flanagan takes full advantage of the Zoom platform's limitations and runs with them. Functions that are supposed to make things more fun get shown for the problems they really are and no user in this play is safe from them. The 2001 reference is a bonus as well. Loved to see Zoom taken apart in such a fun way.

Progress can be a slow moving drudge, but nowhere is this done funnier than in Morey Norkin's CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? Picking apart the logic of trying to dream up two way communication using cups and string, the play also plays on the shallowness of modern society's needs and wants, this is a satire worth seeing. Or hearing. I just hope the actors who eventually do this piece don't phone it in.
