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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

It's true I have a sweet tooth but even without the Sugar Pie, I'd love this play anyway. Welcome to a slice of America we don't hear much from - lingo that is still comfortable - and two people who've lived hard lives who can still connect for the sheer joy of connection. Beautifully written, Sugar Pie is like an old song you rediscovered - that still holds up - that makes you start to sing along. There is always hope in this play, and a certain wisdom we don't hear anymore. Cheers, Lermond!

Once again, John Mabey lifts a veil on our own lives that we so rarely glimpse under - even if we scour our lives regularly. In this case, we see the real lives of parents and the legacies we receive, good and bad. Mabey reminds us that families are not a finite thing - discoveries are made along the way - as we mature, they age and lives close. To be able to see what this brother and sister discover is a joy: they are not stuck. They grow. We all have hope. Well done, Mabey.

A lovely gaze at that age - and at that age's very moment when anything is possible - and all depends on which two romantics are in the moment. it brings you right back to your own romantic meetings when perfect words were all said and street lights came on -- and personal sirens went off -- before you did or didn't take the leap. This lovely play manages to seduce us during the seduction. Haas has reached across time and space to create a play that lives forever no matter how it ends. It would make a lovely production.

In "It's All About Me", Martineau highlights that inciteful moment one remembers when you realize you've lost yourself. Christmas card signing. In this confession, Jenny admits what she wishes for herself, It is surely likely to strike notes with some marrieds - and some unmarrieds.
