It's always fun to watch Shakespeare go sideways, seldom more so than in this delightful foray into sci-fi that lives up to the goofy promise of its title.

A fast-paced, chaotic, very funny look at a modern election day. Does a great job of skewering pretty much everyone without avoiding some of the land mines of writing about politics. Would be great to see staged, especially the spectacle of the repeated technological failures.

Accurately captures the well-meaning-but-often-totally-destructive nature of the talkback session. The genius of the piece is in the particular play being discussed (no spoilers!), but it also works on a universal level, exhibiting the human tendency to offer needless advice just to fill space. Eminently relatable, well-paced, and ends on a satisfying and appropriate note.

An thoroughly fun 20 minutes of bloody, pitch-black chaos, ending in a hilarious final scene. Rife with physical comedy and sight gags, it would be a hoot to see this staged.

A fun concept, well-executed. This would have worked perfectly well as a skit and seems headed that way, but the last three pages do a great job of defying expectations (as well as being quite hilarious in and of themselves!) and creating a wholly unexpected narrative arc. Well worth the read and would be great on stage as well.

A fantastic concept strongly delivered. The titular theatergoer manages to both grate on everyone with their obnoxia but also serve as a reminder of what's great about theater, both in terms of what they actually say (especially the great final paragraph) and in their very existence. This works on two levels: as entertainment in itself, and as an inspiring lead-in for the content of the rest of the evening. It also helps break down the barrier between audience and performers and remind the crowd that theater is about everyone, including them. Well done.

A thoroughly enjoyable meta-romp through a half-formed play. Great fun to watch the actors/characters struggle through before seizing control of their own destinies. If only all characters were so proactive.

I didn't expect this piece could live up to the great title, but it does. Crackling dialogue throughout, likeable and relatable characters, a great cameo and some great turns of phrase make this a breezy and fun read.

Bureaucracy and romance are strange bedfellows, no more so than in this fractured look at love in an age of heavy regulations. A fun concept and an engaging read; especially noteworthy is the overly formal phrasing employed throughout, which gives the impression these characters haven't just bought into the system but have been fundamentally changed by it over the last 3/4 century.

An entertaining look at how much a little white lie can backfire. "To the Moon!" takes the audience along for a ridiculous ride. Feriend mixes in just enough believability to sell the absurd premise, and does an excellent job bouncing the characters of the rocksteady astronauts with that of her spectacularly nervy hero. Good fun.
