A rather horrifyingly splendid picture of how history can be forgotten and white-washed. This is reflected to us daily by our current president. Sickles has caught the sacrifice we make for good news. I hope it never happens - What am I saying? It already has. Thank you, Mr. Sickles.

I love the ease of children to mend fences. To forgive. I'm also happy to revisit Bertram and Robert. They are beautifully written and wise beyond - before? - their years. I hope they can keep this frankness. It's nice to rediscover how to make life easier. Sickles has written an 'everything' play.

Read this as if it has your name on it. Even if you don't deserve it. Because this is a reasonable take-down of a disrespectful jerk. I like it. I may use it. Rage rages through this pandemic. And I respect my neighbors.

Break on Through to the Other Side is time travel at its best. It has the grit, drugs, anarchy of the time. Even Jim Morrison. The character mix blends into its own psychedelic horror - a true taste of early punk.

Nothing is exactly what it seems in this play: not even the quilts. With a sure hand, Karen Fix Curry lets the real story unfold. Here is a play where you can exercise your nervous giggle and your shivers. A sure-fire hit for a festival!

Is snow beautiful or repulsive or scary? Is love? Szymkowicz introduces us to four friends searching for love but this is the flip side of the coin - the shadow: the loneliness, the fear... One of the first plays I've seen to capture this particular underside of love. Well done.

The serenity of our picture of deer is shattered by humans having become more wild and volatile than wildlife itself. Or are we? A nice comment on today.

We all know Doris and Harold and may even be on our way to becoming Doris and Harold. But this Doris and Harold that Coash nails is perfect. They've had a life and love and what they forgot is how to talk about it. But once they connect again, all will be fine. At least Doris is betting on it. Beautiful dialogue and a lovely story.

Holocaust survivors do not often tell their stories - especially, I would think, the children, who didn't always know what was happening to them. I'm glad this story was told - to shed light on a practice few are aware of (helping those that helped them), and of stories that are disappearing as the survivors die. Nicely done, Ms. Cooper.

Suarez-Pena gets right down to it in the first moments of DRY SPELL. But just when we think we know where it's going, the story twists and twists again. This is a tough play - emotion-packed and raw - and very real. Nicely done.
