  • D. Lee Miller: Going for a Walk with Sam

    A memory play that comes to life - just as we 'relive' our finest moments - which may also be our simplest and most mundane. Love is recaptured in this beautiful meeting of loves that have moved on, or transitioned, as some say. The transition here is in Philip, himself, able to finally accept the loss of his beloved pet so that they might relive the joy and comfort of being together. I'm glad he can revisit his dog whenever he likes now. I look forward to getting to meet them all on stage.

  • D. Lee Miller: 'Til Dough Do Us Part

    Today, many moments in our lives are driven by the pandemic. It's created and shined a light on things that wouldn't have happened, that are happening, that happened and that didn't happen. Joel, Paul and Mike evaluate all these situations for them together and apart. Death sits on our doorstep: do you really want to hold off on life any longer? This is a well-written, triumphant, sad and humorous play. Well done.

  • D. Lee Miller: Pilates of the Carob Eaten: An Autocorrected Play

    This joyous Pilates play gave me a stomach ache from laughing! John Busser's ear and pen writes faster than you can take 'em in ---- Startlingly fun and hysterically auto-corrected within an inch of our lifesavers! Hooray to John Busser!

  • D. Lee Miller: Possibly the First of Many

    This is a confrontation totally new to me and I was taken in hook, line and sinker. A former hostage visiting a prisoner - his hostage taker. Scott Sickles in POSSIBLY THE FIRST OF MANY, (an edgy title in hindsight), finds the humanity in his characters after a most ugly situation. Although they are still hidden by their personalities, a light is shined into them both so that we glimpse who these people really are. I asked myself if I would do the same as the former hostage. You'll find yourself asking the same.

  • D. Lee Miller: 600 km NE Lima

    In 600 KM NE LIMA, Scott Sickles creates a character or two I want to know. I want to know them because of who we see and who we don't see. Alejandro Quispe is an attractive man and in any other situation, he and Ms. Ulberg-Carrasco might be an item. I love all that isn't said in this play -- which takes a writer of considerable talent. In a short space of time, we are welcomed into these lives - but they will stay with you much longer. I'd love to see this produced.

  • D. Lee Miller: THE MADNESS OF MEMORY (from the MAD FOR MYSTERY Collection)

    So many of us today are dealing with dementia in our families. In this sad territory, we think we've encountered and traveled a lot of acreage - until Vivian Lermond comes along and takes it a step further. Remember...Remember... Remember... This tragic and fully-dimensional relationship reminds us to be careful of what we wish for. Although I do wish to see this on stage!

  • D. Lee Miller: Into the Dark

    I'm glad I read this in the morning. No one likes to dwell on what could happen in your day-to-day living but INTO THE DARK, by Debbie Lamedman, puts you square in the target. Walking a dog alone at night might be scary enough but Lamedman ratchets up the suspense until you want to scream. It is a riveting piece that makes you want to find out what happens next. Well done, Lamedman.

  • D. Lee Miller: Dragonflies

    So, your tech whiz lover has a new app idea and as much as you may want to cross your eyes, it's interesting, kind of eerie but he/she is so excited and it would be great - and then you're stung! And you don't see it coming. A fun piece for any festival - It would be enjoyed by all ages.

  • D. Lee Miller: Happy Barefoot Day, Comrade!

    Happy Barefoot Day, Comrade! is a welcome alert as to what society could turn into, both politically and culturally. Lawing has an imaginative mind that bids us be away of how disconnected we are from our world, our country, our town, our team - and what could happen as a result. Well done.

  • D. Lee Miller: CHANCE MEETING (a one-act play)

    Funny thing to say, but I'm grateful for this play. It feels like a NYC play but it's a play for apartment dwellers everywhere. Neighbors you met on local park benches, front stoops, even elevators are pretty much gone in the age or technology and the pandemic. In this play, we're given a chance to see neighbor meet neighbor - and remember what neighbors are about. Companionship, support, and connecting. How enjoyable to watch these characters unabashedly discover each other. A lovely play.
