Suzanna's grandeur is not to be trifled with in this larger than life monologue. Her dramatic personage is what saves her - or does it? A sensorial piece by Scott Sickles joins his other creations - theatrical, enticing and daring!

The 'marital metronome' is upset in Vivian Lermond's FUGUE. Two people who have separated into their own lives - their own metaphors, even - converge enough to start anew. This duologue struck a new note in its discussion of marriage. Well done once again, Lermond! Let's get this produced!

There is much talk in Gnomeland today as Scott Sickles has introduced us to a gnome we will not soon forget. Felix and Chantelle inhabit a world of love that few talk about and we learn it is high time we open our hearts and minds to those in their position! Are there more? We don't know, but we can only hope so, as Sickles has given us a a creation replete with laughter and lust and fabled origin stories. Thank you for the enlightenment Mr. Sickles!

Do you want to be left alone by the monstrosity hitting on you? Heres a set of instructions that will keep you in the clear. This would be funny to see - and acted out!

Wiebezahl's play, GOWN, is the kind of play always in fashion. Why? It's a beautiful play. Our expectations of this sensitive, exciting moment in many women's lives will fulfill everything -- and will leave you crying. The play will touch your heart and that is what plays are meant to do.

Coffee House Boos is a short play that will keep you laughing and wondering just what is happening -- Floyd-Priskorn brings us a comedy that should definitely be in the festivals!

Bit by it, Kendall adds enough information to build the suspense. A firm hand on the structure, the story, the dialogue, the characters... and yet we don't know where they will go. Wonderfully compelling piece. Well done!

The Cone sisters and Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas. We have not heard it all! First, we are introduced to the Cone sisters, busy art collectors and then we watch as their relationships develops with Stein and Toklas in Paris - and beyond. This creative play excavates self, art, relationships and more --- Treated as a piece of art, Arianna Rose explores the stories between these women impressionistically, maybe even cubically - and works on many levels. Would love to see this done!

We are immediately swept into 9th street - a condemned tenement. You can smell it, see it and feel part of the bunch of female artists who are forced to be shown downtown. Their camaraderie is palpable and it's lovely to be in their company as they begin to know each other. A delightful piece.

The eternal conflict of mom vs. daughter is examined from a new angle by Vivian Lermond. Two very different sisters discuss their daughter/niece and her road to matrimony. A mother learns her way is not the only way when love is in play! A fun discussion that needs to be had.
