This piece from Trevor Martin keeps you guessing about who's leading who through this "session" until the last shocking moment. I was fascinated by both characters who didn't conform to my expectations in this setup and were all the better for it. This one will surprise you, I guarantee it.

I'll admit, I didn't see the twist in this one coming until it ran over me like a Jaguar on a joyride. (So glad I didn't read any of the NPX keywords here or I would have guessed it and spoiled the surprise). This is a delightful little romp by Rachel Feeny-Williams that points out how sometimes we over-protect and under-respect the wrong things in life. A great piece for both younger and older actors alike.

I had the pleasure to see a production of this play at a fundraiser and it is as funny onstage as it reads. Renee Schilling takes a tricky and very personal subject and sheds light on it in such a fun and enlightening way that you can't help but be both charmed and educated at the same time. Great stuff and should be seen by more people. Produce this now!

A sweet reminder that death is part of a cycle and once that happens, we come back as part of a larger world. A man helps his grand daughter accept the death of her grandmother by letting her know she is still being watched by the leaves around her. Loving and tender, this play is heartwarming.

A play that, on the surface (pun intended), looks like a darkly comic take on death, but actually takes on more weighty topics like free will and making decisions that will better us as people, instead of staying in a bad situation. Jacquie Floyd-Priskorn always writes deeper (again, pun intended) that you think, and this play will stay with you long after you've read it, of better yet, seen it performed.

Perfection can be found in strange places, if we know where to look for it. Jennifer has found hers, and it was closer than we thought. Rachel Feeny-Williams gives us a character who takes dependence on technology to another level. And as long as she's happy, who are we to argue it? Although this is light hearted, it's also though provoking stuff.

This wonderfully written piece by Dana hall is both frustrating and heartbreaking at the same time. A woman feels the sting of well-meaning, but ultimately hurtful comments from the outside while her body produces a mass of cells that will never develop into a child on the inside. A war on two fronts with no winners. Well done.

Your imagination is going to go crazy thanks to Julia Everitt's horror-tinged audio drama. While the narration supplies the backdrop, whatever you conjure in your mind while listening to this tale of little girls and demons will paint the scene. Creepy fun.

A wonderfully darkish monologue that starts out normally and goes black as night by the end. I wasn't expecting it to go where it went and I'm glad I didn't call it. Well done.

No one EVER pays attention to the townsfolk when the killer strikes, but Stuart Hoffman does. His darkly comic DOOMED hits its target like an knife to the chest pointing out that the annoying warnings of the local yokels should be heeded before it's too late. Fun with a wink to the horror crowd, I'd like to see this staged.
